Encyclopedia > Orthodox Patriarchs of Alexandria

The Eastern Orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria has the title Patriarch and Pope of Alexandria and all Africa.


The following list contains all the incumbents of the Easter Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria since the Council of Chalcedon. For the earlier Patriarchs of Alexandria prior to the schism, see List of Patriarchs of Alexandria; for the Patriarchs of the Coptic Orthodox Church that split from Eastern Orthodoxy as a result of Chalcedon, see List of Coptic Popes.

Eastern Orthodox Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (9121 words)
In the Theology of the Orthodox Church it is most important to understand that Christ, from the moment of conception was 100% God and 100% man. Therefore it is correct to say that Mary is indeed, the Theotokos, the Birth-giver of God, and that she is the greatest of all humans ever to have lived.
Those that remained in communion with the other patriarchs were called "Melkites" (the king's men, because Constantinople was the city of the emperors) [not to be confused with the Melkite Catholics of Antioch], and are today known as the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria, until recently led by Pope Petros VII.
The Antiochian Orthodox Church, The Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, and the Holy Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church of America (formerly connected with the Vicar Bishop of the (Western) Orthodox Church of France-ECOF), all have Western Rite parishes.
