Abstract
  • This thesis examines how the relationship between a bishop and his presbyterate shapes a diocese’s capacity to fulfill Christ’s mission. Arguing that missionary discipleship moves at the speed of quality relationships, it proposes that a healthy social field—marked by trust, openness, and communion—between bishop and priests structurally amplifies missionary vibrancy. Integrating Catholic ecclesiology, organizational development theory, and mixed-methods research with priests across multiple dioceses, the study identifies attitudes and practices that strengthen or weaken this social field. It concludes with preliminary recommendations for cultivating change-agile diocesan structures that support more effective, mission-aligned leadership.
