  Dispensation - LoveToKnow 1911
The dispensing power, like the legislative authority, was formerly invested in general councils and even in provincial synods; but in the West, with the gradual centralization of authority at Rome, it became ultimately vested in the pope as the supreme lawgiver of the Church.

It is because God's purpose of dispensation is for the whole world, and when it is culminated both of those worlds must end in order for one world of God to be formed.
