The Apostolic Exarchate of Greece is a Greek Byzantine Catholic Church ecclesiastical territory or apostolic exarchate of the Catholic Church in Greece. As there are no metropolitan sees in the Greek Byzantine Church, it is exempt directly to the Holy See and the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.

The cathedra is in the Holy Trinity Cathedral in the episcopal see of Athens, with a titular bishop responsible for the entire Greek Byzantine Catholic community in Greece.

History

[edit]

It was established on 11 June 1932 as the Apostolic Exarchate of Greece, from territory split off from the then Apostolic Exarchate of Turkey of Europe (meaning European Turkey), now the Apostolic Exarchate of Istanbul. The Greek Byzantine Catholic bishop of European Turkey, George Cavassy, became the new bishop of the Greek Catholic Exarchate of Greece.
