TheCoptic Catholic Patriarchate of Alexandria is the solemetropolitan see of theCoptic Catholic Church, asui iurisparticular church infull communion with theHoly See of theCatholic Church. It follows theAlexandrian Rite in its ownCoptic language. Its archbishop is the superior of all Coptic Catholic dioceses, which are located in and aroundEgypt.

The patriarchate has twocathedrals, both in Egypt:Our Lady of Egypt in the national capitalCairo, and the Cathedral of the Resurrection inAlexandria.

History

[edit]

It had three false starts, each failing to prove enduring.

In 1741 a precursor CatholicApostolic vicariate was established for Alexandria forCoptic Christians wanting to unite with theHoly See.
On 15 August 1824 a Patriarchal See of Alexandria / Alexandrin(us) Coptorum (Latin) was established on Egyptian territory, split off from theApostolic Vicariate of Syria, Egypt, Arabia and Cyprus.
On 26 November 1895 it was restored as Patriarchal See of Alexandria / Alexandrin(us) Coptorum (Latin), again on Egyptian territory, split off from theApostolic Vicariate of Egypt.

In 1947 it was restored for good. It lost territories in Egypt repeatedly to establishsuffragan sees of Alexandria as Metropolitan:

on 17 December 1982 theCoptic Catholic Eparchy of Ismayliah
on 21 March 2003 theCoptic Catholic Eparchy of Guizeh.

It enjoyed Papal visits fromPope John Paul II in February 2000 and fromPope Francis in April 2017.

Rank

[edit]

The patriarchal see as such ranks third among all Catholic (arch)bishoprics of the world (only after theApostolic See of Rome and theCatholic Patriarch of Constantinople), by the virtue of Canon Law (CCEO 58, 59.2).

Proper diocese

[edit]

His proper (arch)eparchy is the Coptic Catholic Eparchy of Alexandria, which has no other Ordinary than the Patriarch. However, he may appoint anAuxiliary bishop for the eparchy, distinct from Auxiliaries for the Patriarchate, as was the case with:

Youhanna Kabès (7 June 1958 – died 28 June 1985),Titular Bishop ofCleopatris (7 June 1958 – 28 June 1985).

As of 2014, it served 35,865 Eastern Catholics in 31 parishes with 73 priests (41 diocesan, 32 religious), 209 lay religious (65 brothers, 144 sisters) and 5 seminarians.

It enjoyed a Papal visit fromPope Francis in April 2017.
