The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople is the spiritual centre of the world-wide Orthodox Church and the Patriarch of Constantinople is considered the highest authority within the Eastern Orthodox Church. Since the sixth century, he has borne the title of Archbishop of Constantinople and New Rome, and Ecumenical Patriarch.
