Nota Bene:

"Synodality should be lived at various levels. Maybe it is time to change the methods of the Synod of Bishops, because it seems to me that the current method is not dynamic. This will also have ecumenical value, especially with our Orthodox brethren. From them we can learn more about the meaning of episcopal collegiality and the tradition of synodality. The joint effort of reflection, looking at how the church was governed in the early centuries, before the breakup between East and West, will bear fruit in due time. In ecumenical relations it is important not only to know each other better, but also to recognize what the Spirit has sown in the other as a gift for us. I want to continue the discussion that was begun in 2007 by the joint [Catholic–Orthodox] commission on how to exercise the Petrine primacy, which led to the signing of the Ravenna Document. We must continue on this path.” --Francis, bishop of Rome

Will this lead to a reconfiguration of the Curia in respect of the "non-Roman" Catholic Churches - and an equal respect to their jurisdiction in diaspora as the Pope as Latin Primate enjoys for his, even within Eastern Catholic patriarchs' territory?

For even those Orthodox well disposed towards accepting the need for a pastorate at the level of the Universal Church, and that this role is the Bishop of Rome's, are not at all disposed to accepting the need for a Roman Curia to relate to them.
