This was not the case. The Emperor and his Council of Ministers ran the government, whereas the Ecumenical Patriarch and his Council/Synod of Bishops ran the church. Church and State were separate entities. Therefore, authority in the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire was not held by just one person.

What ended the authority of priests and bishops?
The authority of priests and bishops within the wider Christian church has not ended.Roman Catholic AnswerThe "authority" of priests and bishops is only a participation in the authority of Jesus Christ over His Church. They have no authority on their own, but only when they are speaking as His representatives. As such, their "authority" will last as that of Our Blessed Lord.
