He did not really set out to limit the power of the Orthodox Church, since that Church traditionally already was submissive to the Tsar and generally kept out of politics. What he DID set out to limit was the powers of the Boyars, the great nobles of the empire and later, that of the Streltsy, the Guard regiments stationed in Moscow that had developed into a practically independent force that could make or break (and sometimes kill) a Tsar. In both cases he was succesful, in the case of the Streltsy by first sending several regiments away from Moscow and after their final revolt, by having most of them tortured to death.
Peter the Great limited the power of the Russian Orthodox Church by abolishing the position of Patriarch in 1721 and replacing it with the Holy Synod, which placed church governance under state control. This move centralized religious authority in the hands of the state, allowing Peter to appoint bishops and control church policies. Additionally, he reduced the church's influence in governance and implemented reforms that emphasized secularism, aligning the church more closely with his vision of a modernized Russia.
