Canon 211

1. An eparchial bishop, whose resignation from office was accepted, obtains the title of eparchial bishop emeritus of the

eparchy he governed and can retain a residence in the eparchy

itself unless in certain cases due to special circumstances other

provisions are made by the Apostolic See or, if it is an eparchy

inside the territorial boundaries of a patriarchal Church, by the

patriarch with the consent of the synod of bishops of the patriarchal Church. 2. The synod of bishops of the patriarch Church

or council of hierarchs must see that suitable and dignified support is provided for eparchial bishops emeriti, with due regard

for the primary obligation which rests upon the eparchy which he

has served.
