Canon 196

1. The eparchial bishop is bound to present and explain to the

Christian faithful the truths of the faith, which are to be believed and applied to moral issues by frequently preaching in

person. He is also to take care that the prescriptions of the

law concerning the ministry of the word of God be carefully observed, especially those about the homily and catechetical formation, so that the whole of Christian doctrine is handed on to

all. 2. He is to protect firmly the integrity and unity of the

faith.
