PATRIARCHATES
The Ecumenical Patriarchate is the most venerable and supreme center of the Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church.
The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate is where our Patriarch resides and the central offices of the Church are located. The Patriarchate is now as always, located in Constantinople or (Istanbul, as it is known today),in Turkey.
Q. Is the Ecumenical Patriarch like the Pope?
A. No. The Orthodox Church has no Pope. The Patriarch of Constantinople has a title of honor. He does not dictate to the other Patriarchates or independent churches. He is first among equals. He is not infallible.
