Will the the church itself be taken back by the diocese?


Dont know. This is something the followers of God and the fallen half of the church will have to work out.

I suspect the fallen portion of the church will attempt to retain all holdings and buildings of the church, because for them, IMO, it is only about the MONEY a damned congregation will bring.

My understanding is that after several parishes left ECUSA in the late 70s, taking their properties with them, that ECUSA demanded that ownership of the properties be turned over to the bishops.
