"Church Hierarchy Like Roman Catholic clergy, Orthodox clergy were ranked in order of importance. In Byzantine times, the emperor had supreme authority in the Church. He selected the patriarch of Constantinople, who ranked just below him in matters of religion.
Unlike the pope in the west, the patriarch did not claim strong authority over other patriarchs and bishops. Instead, he was "first among equals." The patriarch of Constantinople (modern Istanbul, Turkey) still holds this honor." quoted from history alive medieval world and beyodn txtbook
