A quick definition of concordat:

A concordat is an agreement between a government and a church, usually the Roman Catholic Church. It can also refer to an agreement between ecclesiastical persons regarding a benefice or an agreement between secular entities. The term concordat is used to describe a treaty between a government and the Holy See, regardless of its name or form.

A more thorough explanation:

A concordat is an agreement between a government and a church, usually the Roman Catholic Church. It can also refer to an agreement between ecclesiastical persons concerning a benefice, such as a resignation or promotion. The term is increasingly used only for treaties concluded with the Holy See.

  • In 1929, the Lateran Treaty was signed between the Holy See and Italy, which established Vatican City as an independent state and recognized Catholicism as the official religion of Italy. This is an example of a concordat between a government and a church.
  • In the Middle Ages, a concordat could refer to an agreement between ecclesiastical persons concerning a benefice, such as a bishopric or abbey. For example, a bishop might agree to resign from his position in exchange for a promotion to a higher position within the church.
  • A concordat can also refer to an agreement between secular persons or entities. For instance, two companies might sign a concordat to work together on a joint project.

These examples illustrate the different types of agreements that can be considered concordats, from treaties between governments and churches to agreements between individuals or organizations.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
