Titular [edit]
The following "patriarchs" in the Latin Church are titular - that is, they have the title of patriarch for various historical reasons, but are not to be considered the same as the patriarchs and major archbishops who are heads of Churches sui iuris. These titular patriarchs are bishops of dioceses without other jurisdiction.
