The convocation scheduled for October involved several bishops and aimed to ensure adherence to newly established provincial constitutions. These regulations emphasized the importance of tithes and outlined severe penalties for those who violated these rules or obstructed the church's rights. The archbishop excommunicated individuals who interfered with the collection of tithes or attempted to undermine ecclesiastical authority reinforcing the church's autonomy and moral standards. </span></p>
