Pope Leo XIV has granted Eastern Synods the power to remove patriarchs. The decision was made through a motu proprio, which amends Canons 106 and 126 of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches. The Synod of Bishops will have the authority to remove a patriarch from office if their relationship is irreparably compromised for serious reasons.
