In the Ruthenian Liturgy, the Pope is commerated in the Proskomede, the Great Litany, the Triple Litany, the Diptychs, and the Polychronion.

But, speaking of "effusive," and back to the 1950-Rome Greek liturgicon, he is commemorated there, after the epiklesis for instance, as panagiōtatou (a superlative!) Patros hēmōn NAME Papa hRōmēs ( link [patronagechurch.com]) -- our all-holiest Father NAME Pope of Rome. The superlatives and effusiveness then continue with varying adjectives for the other hierarchs -- a stylized way of denoting respect, I presume.

1965 Liturgicon: our holy ecumenical Pontiff, N., Pope of Rome

2006 Liturgicon: our holy father, N., Pope of Rome

BDW: His Holiness, N., Pope of Rome and His Beatitude our Holy Patriarch, N.

ACROD Liturgicon: our holy Ecumenical Patriarch, N., Archbishop of Constantinople in Litanies but in the Diptychs: his All-Holiness, the Ecumenical Patriarch, N., Archbishop of Constantinople
