(48) – STRUCTURE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
1. PATRIARCHATES
A patriarchal church is a full-grown form of an Eastern Catholic church. It is ‘a community of the Christian faithful joined together by’ a Patriarchal hierarchy. The Patriarch together with the synod of bishops has the legislative, judicial and administrative powers within jurisdictional territory of the patriarchal church, without prejudice to those powers reserved, in the common law to the Roman pontiff (CCEO 55-150)
A – The Latin Catholic Church
B – The Coptic Catholic Church
C – The Chaldean Catholic Church
D – The Maronite Catholic Church
E – The Melkite Greek Catholic Church
F – The Syriac Catholic Church
G – The Armenian Catholic Church
2. MAJOR ARCHEPISCOPAL CHURCHES
Major archiepiscopal churches are the oriental churches, governed by the major archbishops being assisted by the respective synod of bishops. These churches also have almost the same rights and obligations of Patriarchal Churches. A major archbishop is the metropolitan of a see determined or recognized by the Supreme authority of the Church, who presides over an entire Eastern Church sui iuris that is not distinguished with the patriarchal title.
A – The Romanian Greek Catholic Church
B – The Syro-Malabar Catholic Church
C – The Syro-Malankara Catholic Church
D – The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church
3. METROPOLITAN CHURCHES
The sui iuris church, which is governed by a metropolitan, is called a metropolitan church sui iuris. ” A Metropolitan Church sui iuris is presided over by the Metropolitan of a determined see who has been appointed by the Roman Pontiff and is assisted by a council of hierarchs according to the norm of law” (CCEO. 1551)
A – The Ethiopian Catholic Church
B – The Eritrean Catholic Church
C – The Hungarian Greek Catholic Church
D – The Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church
E – The Slovak Greek Catholic Church
4. CHURCHES IN SUI JURIS
It is “a Church sui iuris which is neither patriarchal nor major archiepiscopal nor Metropolitan, and is entrusted to a hierarch who presides over it in accordance with the norm of common law and the particular law established by the Roman Pontiff” (CCEO. 174)
A – The Albanian Greek Catholic Church
B – The Belarusian Greek Catholic Church
C – The Bulgarian Greek Catholic Church
D – The Byzantine Catholic Church of Croatia and Serbia
E – The Greek Byzantine Catholic Church
F – The Italo-Albanian Catholic Church
G – The Macedonian Greek Catholic Church
