  Ruthenian Greek Catholic church belongs, together  with  the  pastor  of
  said church, shall by virtue of their office be trustees of such church;
  two  laymen  members  of  such  incorporated  church  selected  by  such
  officers, or by a majority of them,  shall  also  be  trustees  of  such
  incorporated  church, and such officers, pastor and such laymen trustees
  shall together constitute the board of trustees thereof.  The two laymen

  appointed  from  members of the church by such officers or a majority of
  them. No act or proceeding of the  trustees  of  any  such  incorporated
  church shall be valid without the sanction or approval in writing of the
  bishop  of  the diocese to which said church belongs, or, in case of his
  absence  or  disability  to  act,  of  his  vicar-general  or   of   the
  administrator of such diocese.
