In the change of manners and language the patricians of Rome ^58 were far removed from the senate of Romulus, on the palace of Constantine, from the free nobles of the republic, or the fictitious parents of the emperor.
Her ancient patrimony of farms and houses was transformed by their bounty into the temporal dominion of cities and provinces; and the donation of the Exarchate was the first-fruits of the conquests of Pepin.
The splendid donation was granted in supreme and absolute dominion, and the world beheld for the first time a Christian bishop invested with the prerogatives of a temporal prince; the choice of magistrates, the exercise of justice, the imposition of taxes, and the wealth of the palace of Ravenna.

 Clash of Titans - Ruthenian Exarchate (7) - in the United States   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
June 15th, 1924 may be considered the day on which the Exarchate of Pittsburgh was officially born.
The first issue to be settled was the division of parishes among the two Exarchates [Pittsburgh and Philadelphia].
This in itself would have been a gigantic task, but when we consider the circumstances under which the Exarchate had developed and was born we have no difficulty in appreciating the difficulty of the mission which confronted the newly-appointed bishop.

Bishop Hornyak (whose title was 'Apostolic Exarch') enjoyed the symbolism of the name of his new Cathedral Church in Duke Street, London, acquired in 1967 - 'Holy Family in Exile' - for it would strike a cord with his home-sick flock and allow his people to draw strength from biblical precedents for their present plight.

Apostolic Vicariates were established in Thessalonika for Macedonia and in Adrianople for Thrace, while an Apostolic Administrator with the title of Archbishop remained in Constantinople.

 PDS Russia Religion News October 1999
The tenth anniversary of the formation of the Belorussian Orthodox church was the focus of the session of the Holy Synod of the Belorussian exarchate held on 28 October in the Minsk diocesan administration under the chairmanship of Metropolitan Filaret of Minsk and Slutsk, the patriarchal exarch for all Belarus.
The synodal letter emphasizes that the formation of the Belorussian exarchate was not a sign of encouragement of national exclusivity and local self-aggrandizement, for the idea of division, certainly on a national basis, contradicts the teaching about the church and canonical practice: it is alien to the church and arises apart from it.
In violation of the 25th apostolic canon, he did not mention this fact at the time of ordination, since according to them the Morozov couple considers that their present church marriage is their only marriage performed with Christian grace, and that Irina Morozova's first marriage was not a previous marriage.

 Religion in Eastern Europe
The heavy concentration in what is now the Apostolic Administration of Western Siberia, some 1,000,000, is the heritage of mass deportations of historically Catholic Volga Germans, Poles, and Lithuanians in the Soviet era, with 200,000 Catholics in Northern European Russia and only 50,000 in Eastern Siberia and 35,000 in Southern European Russia, respectively.
Similarly, the creation of apostolic administrations rather than dioceses as described earlier is an attempt to counter Orthodox opposition to the existence of parallel canonical structures on the same territory.
On the other hand, because the two foreign-born apostolic administrators appointed in 1999, Clemens Pickel for Southern European Russia and Jerzy Mazur for Eastern Siberia, lack residence permits and have had their applications for Russian citizenship refused, their administrations cannot be registered as religious organizations.
