• Source: Patriarchs of the East

The title of patriarchs of the East is used by primates of several Christian denominations within Eastern Christianity. Historically, the title originated as ecclesiastical designation for primates of the Church of the East. It was, and still is, officially used by different branches of the historical Church of the East.
Besides this, the patriarchate of Antioch has a title of 'Patriarch of Antioch and All The East'. In this context, 'All The East' denotes the Diocese of the East, also called the Diocese of Orients of the Roman Empire, and not in the same perspective of the Church of the East. This title is held by the Melkite, Greek Orthodox, Syriac Orthodox and the Syriac Catholic patriarchs of Antioch, and also by primates of some other sees, belonging to several Eastern Christian denominations.

Catholic Patriarchs of the East


The Catholic Patriarchs of the East are generally speaking the head bishops of some of the autonomous Eastern Catholic Churches. Each patriarch of the east has authority over all bishops of a particular eastern rite church. These patriarchs are elected by their synods, and must extend communion to and receive it from the other patriarchs, including the pope, before officially taking their office. In matters of discipline and practice, but not in matters of dogma, they generally follow the customs and laws of their particular church. Perhaps the most striking example is that in most Eastern Catholic Churches, ordination of married men to the priesthood is routine (although no priest may marry after ordination, and only celibate priests may become bishops). Eastern churches that are not headed by patriarchs are instead headed by bishops who are titled major archbishops, metropolitans, or in a few cases merely eparchs.
The patriarchs of the Eastern Rite Catholic churches are:

The Coptic Catholic Patriarch of Alexandria - List
The Syrian Catholic Patriarch of Antioch and all the East - List
The Melkite Catholic Patriarch of Antioch and all the East, of Alexandria, and of Jerusalem - List
The Maronite Patriarch of Antioch and all the East - List
The Chaldean Patriarch of Babylon - List
The Armenian Catholic Catholicos-Patriarch of Cilicia - List
