Canon 358. A Cardinal may be deputed by the Roman Pontiff to represent him in some solemn celebration or assembly of persons as a ‘Legatus a latere’, that is, as his alter ego; or he may, as a special emissary, be entrusted with a particular pastoral task. A Cardinal thus nominated is entitled to deal only with those affairs which have been entrusted to him by the Roman Pontiff himself.

Cardinali, cui a Romano Pontifice hoc munus committitur ut in aliqua sollemni celebratione vel personarum coetu eius personam sustineat, uti Legatus a latere, scilicet tamquam eius alter ego, sicuti et illi cui adimplendum concreditur tamquam ipsius misso speciali certum munus pastorale, ea tantum competunt quae ab ipso Romano Pontifice eidem demandantur.
