There are different patriachs in Orthodoxy. A tradition dating from the Roman empire. Our pope is basically the patriach of Italy. Now as you can imagine the patriach of Constantinopole, the capital of the empire at that time, has special status. But it's just that. In practice, each patriach rules over their geographic zone.

Quite stoned, hope this makes sense.
