	Major Archbishop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In the Catholic Church, major archbishop is a title for an Eastern Rite hierarch to whose archiepiscopal see is granted the same jurisdiction in his autonomous (sui juris) particular Church that an Eastern-rite patriarch has in his.
		Like patriarchs, major archbishops are elected by the synod of the sui iuris Church, but their election requires confirmation by the Pope, not mere notification and granting of communion required of patriarchs.
		The title major archbishop in the Catholic Church is roughly equivalent to the patriarchal title catholicos in some Orthodox Churches.
