[edit] One can read about "Patriarchy"

"The term patriarchy is also used in systems of ranking male leadership in certain hierarchical churches or religious bodies (see patriarch and Patriarchate). Examples include the Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox churches."

[edit] upcoming changes watch

With the papal dropping of the title "Patriarch of the West" and his prior advocacy of the creation of new patriarchs[1] it's likely that things are going to change and relatively soon on the patriarch front. TMLutas 18:03, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
