  Monothelitism and Monothelites
Paul the patriarch whom the Emperor Constans had substituted for Pyrrhus, had not been acknowledged by Pope Theodore, who demanded of him that Pyrrhus should first be tried by a council before two representatives of the Holy See.
Paul's reply is preserved: the views he exposes are those of the Ecthesis, and he defends them by referring to Honorius and Sergius.
Paul, somewhat naturally, thought it would be sufficient if he dropped the teaching of one will, and prohibited all reference to one will or two wills as well as to one operation or two operations; it could hardly be urged that this was not in accordance with the teaching of Pope Honorius.

 Prerogatives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate - OrthodoxWiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Constantinople's position as having "prerogatives equal to those of Old Rome" is based in the letter of the canons on its position as the imperial city, a position which passed away with the Fall of Constantinople in 1453.
Historically, though, tyrannical patriarchs have been deposed, typically led by either the Ecumenical Patriarch himself (in the case of other patriarchs) or by the clergy of that patriarchate (in the case of the deposition of their own patriarch), often in conjuction with a patriarch from a neighboring autocephalous church, such as Alexandria.
Beginning at some point in the 4th century, the affairs of the Patriarchate of Constantinople were governed by a particular form of holy synod, referred to as the ενδημουσα συνοδος (endimousa synodos, "resident synod").

 Patriarch of Constantinople Preaches Environmentalism
When Bartholomew became ecumenical patriarch in 1991, soon after the collapse of communism, the widespread abuse of nature had been named as one of the Soviets' worst legacies.
Patriarch Bartholomew, who is 59, is not the pioneer of modern church environmentalism.
The patriarch's drive to embrace environmentalism, according to some of his aides, is part of his broader agenda to modernize his church and make it more relevant to people's lives.

 ORDER OF SAINT ANDREW THE APOSTLE: HISTORY OF THE ECUMENICAL PATRIARCHATE
The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople is the most striking manifestation of the continued viability, over 1500 years, of the most creative of Byzantine institutions, the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Constantinople, too, claims Apostolic foundation since it is believed that the Apostle Andrew, the brother of Peter and himself "the first called" Apostle of Christ, travelled and made many conversions in the area surrounding Byzantium (the ancient Greek name for Constantinople), in parts of Greece and what is today southern Russia.
Andrew is of course the patron saint of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.

Provided with letters by Pope Julius, Paul returned to Constantinople, and after the death of Eusebius in 342 AD, ascended again his rightful throne; the Arians meanwhile elected Macedonios, because he rejected the Son's con-substantiality with the Father (and the divinity of the Holy Spirit besides).

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Eastern Rites: the Patriarch
Each patriarch governed a territory of the Church: The patriarch of Rome governed the whole Church in the West; the patriarch of Alexandria, the area of Egypt and Palestine; and the Patriarch of Antioch, Syria, Asia Minor, Greece and the remainder of the Church in the East.
In the mind of the patriarch, since Rome had declined in stature and since Constantinople was now the viable capital of the Roman Empire (or what was left of it), he thought he should be recognized as the head of the Church — in a sense, "New Rome" should be the home of the pope.
The patriarch of Constantinople was recognized as the spiritual head of the Orthodox Churches, but he did not have any juridic authority over them, except those of his own patriarchate.
