Who is the supreme religious leader to Eastern Orthodox Christians?

Not a clue.

I don't know. I'm going to guess that it's Ignatius IV Hazim, because I think Antioch is the seat of the Eastern Orthodox Church. But I'm probably wrong.

Where is the "I'm ignorant, I don't know" choice?

There is the 'Other' choice for that.

Theodorus?

...are we talking about Greek or Russian. I'm guessing the Alexandria one as it is Greek based, and Greek Orthodox was the first break from catholicism

I don't give a flying fudge.

Wait... African or European?

"Ecumenical Patriarch" and "New Rome" jump out like a sore thumb (not that thumbs have the ability to jump anyway). I'll go for Bart.

There isn't one, although Bartholomew I is probably the answer you are looking for. I suppose if there really were a "correct answer" it would be Christ.

never even heard of them

I was being fatuous.

you got it right. bartolomew is primus interpares.

ANSWER: there is none.

Jurisdictions govern the priesthood and its administrative policies thus, bishops do not interfere in one another’s territories; as their authority does not extend beyond it. There is no single bishop or similar office that corresponds to the Roman Catholic Pope, nor is there a standing synod of bishops or patriarchs. In general, the church is organized along national and regional lines in hierarchical fashion, with the "top" hierarchs or patriarchs recognizing one another's validity.

and

In administrative power, all bishops of the Orthodox Church are equal. There is no Orthodox equivalent of the Roman Catholic papacy. Jurisdictions and positions of authority are administrative only. There is no single leader of the Orthodox Church. Therefore attachment to a single, specific hierarch, such as the Ecumenical Patriarch (of Constantinople) is not a litmus test for Orthodoxy, as there have been heretics and schismatics in even that venerable position. The measure of the legitimacy of a Bishop and his jurisdiction is in how closely and carefully he upholds the teachings of the Orthodox Church, and how well he maintains its traditions. Obedience to a bishop is required only if he, in fact, does his job properly. It is therefore, the responsibility of the laity to reject a bishop who begins to turn toward teachings other than the ones the church supports. This places a fairly heavy responsibility on the laity to educate themselves on the teachings of the church.

African doesn't fall under Eastern Orthodox. Most African countries fall under Oriental Orthodox Communion.

I have no idea - I guessed.

I have absolutely no idea!!

I think Bill's response was a Monty Python (Holy Grail) reference, or at least that's what I thought of.

I haven't the slightest idea.

God. I'm sure of it.

What is the air-speed velocity of an African Flying Fudge?

thanks for getting my reference!

No problema. I watched that movie so much in the 80's and 90's that I wore the tape out. I used to be able to quote the entire movie front to back (I never tried back to front).

isn't it madonna...i made myself giggle

I think it's Ignatius

If there's no answer then why did you ask?

I wanted to know how many people knew there was none.

Yeah, I got that now. Thanks.

Run away...run away!

Let's hear you quote the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch" bit....betcha can't do it! C'mon....I'm waiting!

Is an African Flying Fudge migratory or non-migratory?

It has been too long, and the key phrase is "used to be able."

I could probably find the entire speech online somewhere. I know that there used to be a Monty Python & The Holy Grail site at one time with the memorable lines.

I actually have the movie on my computer, but I haven't had the time to watch it in awhile.

You'll have to scroll down a bit.

1. I have no idea what an Eastern Orthodox Christian is.
2. I never heard of any of these people.
3. Sounds like just another religious dictatorship.
4. I don't care.

This is the one I was really looking for....Scene 21 has the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch lines.
I recalled that I had seen this web page at Survey Central several years ago in a survey about Monty Python & the Holy Grail. This link has actual script pages and photos from the particular scenes.

That's good stuff.

No...that's great stuff!

I don't know and I don't care.

True enough.
