Encyclopedia: Patriarch of Venice
The Patriarch of Venice is one of the few Patriarchs in the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church. The diocese of Venice was created in 774, but it was only in 1457 that its bishops were accorded the title of the patriarch by the Pope, the Bishop of Rome, for political considerations. Venice is the oldest surviving instance of the use of such a purely honorary title in the Latin Church. When it was granted, it was considered to succeed to the transferred older patriarchal see of Grado as its seat was moved from Grado in 1451. Venice is currently one of the four Latin sees (historically also Rome itself) to be accorded the title of Patriarchate, together with Lisbon, the East Indies and Jerusalem. Currently, the only advantage of this purely formal title is the bishop's place of honor in papal processions.
