From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The Patriarch of the West Indies is the leader of one of the Latin Rite Patriarchates of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The Patriarchate of the West Indies was created on 11 May 1524 as part of the Roman Catholic Church of Spain, for the purposes of the latter's colonial missions in the Americas. Unlike the other patriarchs, the Patriarch of the West Indies is not tied to a particular episcopal see; the title was usually given to whichever bishop was serving as the chaplain of the Spanish Army, the General Vicar of the Armies.

The patriarch, along with the Patriarchs of Jerusalem, Lisbon, Venice, and the East Indies, is directly responsible to the Pope. Although the office still exists, it has been vacant since 1963.
