Patriarch of Jerusalem
The term Patriarch of Jerusalem can mean either the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, who is one of the Roman Catholic "patriarchs of the east", or the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, who is one of nine highest-ranking Eastern Orthodox bishops, called patriarchs.
Both trace their successions back to James the Just, brother of Jesus Christ, who was head of the first Christian Church in Jerusalem.
