In order to promote centralization, patriarchal authorities started to multiply the numbers of metropolitans by elevating local bishops to honorary metropolitan ranks without giving them any real metropolitan powers, and making them directly appointed and thus more dependent on Constantinople. As a consequence, the use of the word <i>eparchy</i> was expanded to include not only proper metropolitan provinces, but also the newly created honorary metropolitan sees that were no real provinces, and thus no different then simple bishoprics except in honorary titles and ranks. In spite of that, such honorary metropolitan sees also came to be called <i>eparchies</i>. This process was systematically promoted, thus resulting in a major terminological shift.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMeyendorff1989_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMeyendorff1989-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Eparchy_of_the_Bulgarian_Orthodox_Church_EN.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Eparchy_of_the_Bulgarian_Orthodox_Church_EN.png/265px-Eparchy_of_the_Bulgarian_Orthodox_Church_EN.png" decoding="async" width="265" height="168" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Eparchy_of_the_Bulgarian_Orthodox_Church_EN.png/398px-Eparchy_of_the_Bulgarian_Orthodox_Church_EN.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Eparchy_of_the_Bulgarian_Orthodox_Church_EN.png/530px-Eparchy_of_the_Bulgarian_Orthodox_Church_EN.png 2x" data-file-width="1764" data-file-height="1118" /></a><figcaption>Eparchies of the <a href="/wiki/Bulgarian_Orthodox_Church" title="Bulgarian Orthodox Church">Bulgarian Orthodox Church</a></figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Eparchies_of_the_Georgian_Apostolic_Autocephalous_Orthodox_Church.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Eparchies_of_the_Georgian_Apostolic_Autocephalous_Orthodox_Church.svg/265px-Eparchies_of_the_Georgian_Apostolic_Autocephalous_Orthodox_Church.svg.png" decoding="async" width="265" height="199" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Eparchies_of_the_Georgian_Apostolic_Autocephalous_Orthodox_Church.svg/398px-Eparchies_of_the_Georgian_Apostolic_Autocephalous_Orthodox_Church.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Eparchies_of_the_Georgian_Apostolic_Autocephalous_Orthodox_Church.svg/530px-Eparchies_of_the_Georgian_Apostolic_Autocephalous_Orthodox_Church.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="2000" data-file-height="1500" /></a><figcaption>Eparchies of the <a href="/wiki/Georgian_Orthodox_Church" title="Georgian Orthodox Church">Georgian Orthodox Church</a></figcaption></figure> <p>Since the fragmentation of the original metropolitan provinces into several titular metropolises that were also referred to as <i>eparchies</i>, the Patriarchate of Constantinople became more centralized, and such structure has remained up to the present day.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Similar ecclesiastical terminology is also employed by other <a href="/wiki/Autocephaly_(Eastern_Orthodoxy)" class="mw-redirect" title="Autocephaly (Eastern Orthodoxy)">autocephalous</a> and <a href="/wiki/Autonomy_(Eastern_Orthodoxy)" title="Autonomy (Eastern Orthodoxy)">autonomous</a> churches within <a href="/wiki/Organization_of_the_Eastern_Orthodox_Church" title="Organization of the Eastern Orthodox Church">Eastern Orthodox community</a>.
