  • Catholicos (plural Catholicoi) is a title given to the head bishop of an autonomous region under the Patriarchate of Antioch in the ancient Syrian church. A Catholicos in all respects is equivalent to a Patriarch in powers, but, in precedence, defers to the Patriarch of Antioch. The word 'Catholicos' is a transliteration of the Greek καθολικός, pl. καθολικοί , meaning concerning the whole, universal or general. There existed 4 Catholicoi in the ancient church: * Catholicos of the East in Persia/India * Catholicos of Etchmiadzin in Armenia * Catholicos of Iberia in Georgia * Catholicos of Caucasian Albania in Azerbaijan All these 4 ancient catholicates were independent Autocephalous provinces under the Papal supervision of the Patriarch of Antioch prior to the creation of the Catholicos. A Catholicate or Catholicosate (at times spelt as catholicossate) is the area of responsibility (territorial or otherwise) of the catholicos, considered a leader within any of the several churches of Eastern Christianity, especially those regarded as Oriental Orthodoxy. In the Eastern Catholic Churches not of Byzantine Rite, Catholicos is equivalent to a Major Archbishop.
