Latin Patriarch can refer to these Catholic counter-claimants to the titles of the Pentarchy:
- Latin Patriarch of Constantinople (extinct)
- Latin Patriarch of Antioch (extinct)
- Latin Patriarch of Alexandria (extinct)
- Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem
It could also theoretically refer to one of the few other patriarchs of the Latin Rite:
- Patriarch of Venice
- Patriarch of Lisbon
- Patriarch of the East Indies
- Patriarch of Aquileia (extinct)
- Patriarch of Grado (merged with the office of the Bishop of Castello to become the Patriarch of Venice)
- Patriarch of Carthage (extinct)
- Patriarch of the West Indies (extinct)
It should also be noted that Patriarch of Rome and all the West and Patriarch of the West are two rarely mentioned titles of the Pope. Catholicism also recognizes the patriarchs of the East, but they would never be called "Latin."
Famous quotes containing the word latin:
“OUR Latin books in motly row,
Invite us to our task—
Gay Horace, stately Cicero:
Yet there’s one verb, when once we know,
No higher skill we ask:
This ranks all other lore above—
We’ve learned “’Amare’ means ‘to love’!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
