Katholikos (English spelling) [Greek]

Japanese: カトリコス(英語表記)katholikos[ギリシア]
Katholikos (English spelling) [Greek]
A title for the head used in some churches in Eastern Christianity. It is equivalent to Patriarch. Currently, it is used in the Nestorian Church and the Armenian Church (neither of which belong to the Eastern Orthodox Church). The head of the Georgian Orthodox Church, which belongs to the Eastern Orthodox Church, uses the title "Catholikos, Patriarch." In ancient times, the title Catholicos was used for bishops or the head of an entire group of monasteries. In the Jacobite Church, the bishop next to the patriarch is called Mafriano.

東方キリスト教において一部の教会で使われる首長の称号。総主教に相当する。現在ではネストリウス派教会およびアルメニア教会(いずれも東方正教会に属さない)で用いる。なお東方正教会に属するグルジア正教会の首長は〈カトリコス総主教〉の称号を用いる。古代においてカトリコスの称号は主教または一群の修道院全体の代表について用いられた。なおヤコブ派教会では総主教に次ぐ主教をマフリアノmafrianoと呼ぶ。【森安 達也】
