Re https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/105244/list-of-jewish-popes-cardinals and https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/105402/list-of-jewish-ecumenical-patriarchs-of-constantinople
**What's the equivalent of 'cardinals' in eastern orthodox?** Like who votes for the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople? Or what's below this patriarch in hierarchy?
My intention is actually to ask next about Jewish 'cardinals' of Orthodoxy, but well of course I can't ask about what I don't understand.
Maybe since the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople is 'primus inter pares', the cardinals would be like the other bishops ... namely of Antioch, Jerusalem or Alexandria ? Idk.
