	Patriarch and Patriarchate
		It has now four so-called patriarchs, of which two bear titles of sees that cannot by any rule of antiquity claim to be patriarchal at all, and the other two have not even the pretence of descent from the old lines.
		On the other hand, the existence of several Catholic patriarchs of the same see, for instance, the Melchite, Jacobite, Maronite, and Latin titulars of Antioch, is a concession to the national feeling of Eastern Christians, or, in the case of the Latin, a relic of the crusades that archæologically can hardly be justified.
		The pope as Patriarch of the West (this is the commonest form; "Patriarch of Rome", or "Latin Patriarch" also occur) rules all Western Europe from Poland to Illyricum (the Balkan Peninsula), Africa west of Egypt, all other lands (America, Australia) colonized from these lands and all Western (Latin) missionaries and dwellers in the East.

		While the Patriarch is careful not to use the word "Genocide," – it is a crime to do so in Turkey -- his statement makes it amply clear that the government of the Ottoman Empire was the organizer of the deportations that led to the deaths of "hundreds of thousands" of Armenians.
		Finally, it is significant that the Patriarch made his bold remarks on the Genocide less than a week after the Prime Minister of Turkey, Abdullah Gul, announced that the Turkish government would do everything in its power to counter the Armenian efforts, particularly in view of the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
		For the first time, and on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, the Patriarch is properly and bravely suggesting that Armenians in Turkey would be joining their compatriots around the globe in remembering the "annihilation" of their ancestors.
