Canon 95

1. The obligations of eparchial bishops which are mentioned in

can. 196 also bind the patriarch with due regard for the other

obligations of individual bishops. 2. The patriarch is to see

that the eparchial bishops faithfully fulfill their pastoral

functions and that they reside in the eparchy which they govern;

he should enkindle their zeal; if they gravely transgress in a

certain matter, after having consulted with the permanent synod

unless there is danger in delay, the patriarch is to warn them;

if the warning does not result in the desired effect, he is to

defer the matter to the Roman Pontiff.
