Leo XIII declared still in force Pope Benedict XIV's encyclical "Demandatam", addressed to the Patriarch and the Bishops of the Melkite Catholic Church, in which Benedict XIV forbade Latin Rite clergy to induce Melkite Catholics to transfer to the Latin rite, and he broadened this prohibition to cover all Eastern Catholics, declaring: "Any Latin rite missionary, whether of the secular or religious clergy, who induces with his advice or assistance any Eastern rite faithful to transfer to the Latin rite, will be deposed and excluded from his benefice in addition to the "ipso facto" suspension "a divinis" and other punishments that he will incur as imposed in the aforesaid Constitution "Demandatam"."
