Orthodox Churches
Note: In the Orthodox Church
there are 15 independent (autocephalous) church units,
each with its own patriarch, archbishop, or
metropolitan. In the traditional order of honor amongst
the Orthodox churches (that is, the order through which
their primates are mentioned in the liturgy when more
than 3 metropolitans are present), they are:
Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, Russia,
Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Cyprus, Greece,
Poland, Albania, Czech and Slovak Republics, and
America. The Church of Constantinople and its patriarch
have only a status of "first among equals", nothing more
(this status means nothing more that he is the president
of all Orthodox conferences), but he has no kind of
power over other church units, he is the leader of only
his own church unit, the Church of Constantinople.

¹The Ecumenical Patriarch is also officially
the "Spiritual Leader" of the "Autonomous Monastic State
of Ayion Oros", (also styled "Athonian
Republic"), that is, he is the Head of that
Autonomous State, which itself is part of Greece.
2This
is an interesting case. A faction who wanted to remove
Ieremias from the throne decided to support Kyrillos of Proussa for
Patriarch, although he himself had no such aspirations.
They paid good money to the Turkish officials who
declared that Kyrillos should take the place of Ieremias as Patriarch.
Subsequently, Ieremias went into hiding. Kyrillos, however, refused to take the place of
Ieremias in the Patriarchal throne, and the situation
became irregular. On 28 Jan the Turks, seeing that no
one came to the throne, let Ieremias continue as Patriarch.

(b. 1955)
¹When Grigorios IV died in Dec 1928,
the Holy Synod deadlocked, eventually splitting into two
factions. The larger section elected Arsenios II (s.a.),
the smaller one Alexandros III (s.a.). They reconciled
briefly in 1931, the factions agreeing that both men
would be considered valid patriarchs until one of them
died. However, Arsenios died in 1933 and is now
considered an anti-patriarch for that period. Another
member of his faction, Epiphanios, was elected his
successor as patriarch in 1935, but eventually resigned
his title and rejoined the Holy Synod.
²The number X adopted by this
patriarch appears to be based on a rather erroneous list
showing the last holder of his name as IX. As the latter
was patriarch in the 12th century, the facts are
obscure; however, studies by Venance Grumel ("Les
patriarches grecs d'Antioche du nom de Jean" [Echos
d'Orient 1933] and "Jean ou Denys? Note sur un
patriarche d'Antioche" [Revue des études byzantines
1951]) indicate that the correct number of the patriarch
of 2012 would be VI or VII.

¹The Coptic Church refused to recognize the
removal of Theophilos. Even after the
execution of Theophilos
became widely known, the lack of an official
announcement of his death kept the Coptic Church from
recognizing any other person as head of the Ethiopian
Orthodox Church and it continued to refuse recognition
of Tekle Haimanot as his successor.

Muslim Caliphate
Note: Of the three styles that
usually combine to make up the style of a caliph, Khalifat
Rasul Allah (successor/substitute of the
Messenger of God) originates with Abu Bakr (632), Amir
al-Mu'minin ("Commander of the Faithful")
originates with Umar (634), and Imam (prayer leader)
only becomes a formal part in 817. The claim
that, upon the conquest of Egypt in 1517 and the
displacement of the last Abbasid holder of the office,
al-Mutawakkil III, the office and style of Khalifat
Rasul Allah, Amir al-Mu’minin (Halife-i
Resulullah, Emirülmüminin)("Successor to
the Messenger of God, Commander of the Faithful") was
transferred to the Ottoman ruler by a formal deed of
assignment has no corroboration from any contemporary
source. A variety of "khalifal" titles were used by
Ottoman rulers, and accorded to them by others in
diplomatic correspondence and treaties. The Treaty of
Küçük Kaynarca (21 Jul 1774) between the Ottoman and the
Russian Empire the Ottoman side consequently forcefully
asserted the remaining authority of the Ottoman ruler in
his capacity as halife (khalifa)
over all Muslims in the ceded territories. The status of
the Padışah (Padishah) as halife
was given formal sanction in the Ottoman
Constitution of 23 Nov 1876 (rescinded 13 Feb 1878,
restored 24 Jul 1908). Upon the extinction of the
Ottoman Empire by the Turkish Grand National Assembly on
1 Nov 1922, the ruler, Mehmed Vahideddin, continued to
be recognized as halife; after
his flight from Istanbul on 17 Nov 1922, he was declared
deposed from the office of halife
by a fetva, endorsed by the Şeyhülislam
(Sheikh al-Islam) and ratified by the
Grand National Assembly on 19 Nov 1922, and replaced on
that date by Abdülmecid bin Abdülaziz, who was installed
on 24 Nov 1922. The office of halife was abolished by
the Grand National Assembly on 3 Mar 1924. A
last attempt at restoring the office and style with
ecumenical recognition was made by Hussein ibn Ali
al-Hashimi, King of the Hejaz, who assumed both
on 11 Mar 1924 and held them until his passing the
kingship to his son Ali ibn Hussein al-Hashimi,
who did not adopt the Khalifal office and style.
