(This article is about a 1975 decree of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith. It is not to be confused with the similarly named 1881 apostolic constitution of Leo XIII.) Romanis Pontificibus is a papal decree, issued on 6 June 1975 by Pope Paul VI, that concerns the Herzegovina Affair: the Franciscan friars of Herzegovina took control of the local parishes and refused to hand them over to the local bishops and priests, despite the Franciscan vow of obedience. The decree specified the relative jurisdictions of the friars and the diocesan clergy.
