Theres not one. Im Orthodox and do not subscribe to such to begin with.
As an Orthodox you don't subscribe to the Patriarchy??? You don't subscribe to the position of Rome as the first among equals?
There is no Papal Monarchy -- there were lapses during the Middle Ages but do you think the present Popes in any way follow the idea of a Papal Monarchy? Didn't you see the funeral of Pope John Paul II when the ceremony was presided over by the Patriarchs together?

Yes, I subscribe to the Patriarchy. However, Patriarchs cannot issue theological fiats. Bishops do not answer to one another individually, they answer Synods of Bishops.
No, to first among equals. Rome and the East are not in communion.
