Michael Buckley, S.J., argues that the doctrine of papal primacy should be implemented in such a manner as to restore a decisive voice to the local church in the choice of its bishop, depending more on relationship than on authority.

With his trademark rigor and clarity, Michael Buckley argues that a true theology of papal primacy, as opposed to an ideology of primacy, must focus on the papacy's nature as a unique relationship, whose purpose is the unity of bishops among themselves and (through them) the unity of the entire Church.
