1. Patriarchate

   A patriarchate is the office or jurisdiction of a patriarch. A patriarch, as the term is used here, is either ⁕one of the highest-ranking bishops in Eastern Orthodoxy, earlier, the five that were included in the Pentarchy: Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem, but now nine, excluding Rome and including patriarchs of Serbia, Russia, Georgia, Bulgaria and Romania; or ⁕one of ten high-ranking bishops of Catholicism: seven "patriarchs of the east", and the Patriarchs of Lisbon, Venice, and the East Indies; or ⁕one of the specific patriarchs of the various Oriental Orthodox and Nestorian churches. The five patriarchs of the Pentarchy sat in Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem. The East-West Schism of 1054 split the Latin-speaking see of Rome from the four Greek-speaking patriarchates, forming distinct Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. The Eastern Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch moved to Damascus in the 13th century, during the reign of the Egyptian Mamelukes, conquerors of Syria. In Damascus a Christian community had flourished since apostolic times. However, the patriarchate is still called the Patriarchate of Antioch, somewhat similar to continuance of the name "Patriarchate of Constantinople". Damascus is the seat also of the Syrian Catholic and the Melkite Catholic Patriarchs of Antioch, while the Maronite Catholic of Antioch lives in Bkerké, Lebanon.
