 | | The appellation of “Pope” became recognized as a Title, but this did not mean that it represented a title different or higher than the title of “Patriarch.” It is to be noted, however, that only the Patriarch of Alexandria has the double title of Pope and Patriarch among the Eastern Orthodox Thrones. |
 | | So was the case among other Provinces in the Roman Empire East & West (Rome, Antioch, Jerusalem, Ephesus, Ceasaria, Edessa, Seleucia and many others major Metropolitanates), as the Bishops of these Major Cities, and those who were presiding over the Churches, which were first established within the region, became to be known as Archbishops. |
