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:
“In my dealing with my child, my Latin and Greek, my accomplishments and my money stead me nothing; but as much soul as I have avails. If I am wilful, he sets his will against mine, one for one, and leaves me, if I please, the degradation of beating him by my superiority of strength. But if I renounce my will, and act for the soul, setting that up as umpire between us two, out of his young eyes looks the same soul; he reveres and loves with me.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
