The relationship between papacy and the local churches required a form of interaction, which was able to overcome large physical distances. The point of departure is that discourses of weakness played a special role in resolving conflicts. They were of prime importance with respect to negotiating competences, and played a special role for determining the extent of normative, pastoral and administrative competences. There is reason to assume that addressing weakness within these processes of negotiation had a certain functionality, since discourses of weakness could constitute a strategy of actions, which helped to avoid splits between papacy and local churches.
