Orthodox Churches
Note: In the Orthodox Church
there are 15 independent (autocephalous) church units,
each with its own patriarch, archbishop, or
metropolitan. In the traditional order of honor amongst
the Orthodox churches (that is, the order through which
their primates are mentioned in the liturgy when more
than 3 metropolitans are present), they are:
Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, Russia,
Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Cyprus, Greece,
Poland, Albania, Czech and Slovak Republics, and
America. The Church of Constantinople and its patriarch
have only a status of "first among equals", nothing more
(this status means nothing more that he is the president
of all Orthodox conferences), but he has no kind of
power over other church units, he is the leader of only
his own church unit, the Church of Constantinople.

¹The Ecumenical Patriarch is also officially
the "Spiritual Leader" of the "Autonomous Monastic State
of Ayion Oros", (also styled "Athonian
Republic"), that is, he is the Head of that
Autonomous State, which itself is part of Greece.
2This
is an interesting case. A faction who wanted to remove
Ieremias from the throne decided to support Kyrillos of Proussa for
Patriarch, although he himself had no such aspirations.
They paid good money to the Turkish officials who
declared that Kyrillos should take the place of Ieremias as Patriarch.
Subsequently, Ieremias went into hiding. Kyrillos, however, refused to take the place of
Ieremias in the Patriarchal throne, and the situation
became irregular. On 28 Jan the Turks, seeing that no
one came to the throne, let Ieremias continue as Patriarch.

Ioannis X²
(b. 1955)
¹When Grigorios IV died in Dec 1928,
the Holy Synod deadlocked, eventually splitting into two
factions. The larger section elected Arsenios II (s.a.),
the smaller one Alexandros III (s.a.). They reconciled
briefly in 1931, the factions agreeing that both men
would be considered valid patriarchs until one of them
died. However, Arsenios died in 1933 and is now
considered an anti-patriarch for that period. Another
member of his faction, Epiphanios, was elected his
successor as patriarch in 1935, but eventually resigned
his title and rejoined the Holy Synod.
²The number X adopted by this
patriarch appears to be based on a rather erroneous list
showing the last holder of his name as IX. As the latter
was patriarch in the 12th century, the facts are
obscure; however, studies by Venance Grumel ("Les
patriarches grecs d'Antioche du nom de Jean" [Echos
d'Orient 1933] and "Jean ou Denys? Note sur un
patriarche d'Antioche" [Revue des études byzantines
1951]) indicate that the correct number of the patriarch
of 2012 would be VI or VII.
