Latin Patriarchate of Ethiopia


The Latin Patriarchate of Ethiopia was a Catholic Patriarchal see of the Latin Church active in Ethiopia from 1555 to 1663.

Ethiopia remaining an Coptic Orthodox empire, the term rather refers to the vague ancient meaning of the negro lands south of the Pharaonic territory, where the Portuguese were colonizing ports and coastal regions.

The "archbishopric" was held by Portuguese and one Spanish bishops, all members of the Society of Jesus (S.J.).

All Roman Rite Jesuits.

(all Jesuits, survided by the incumbent Patriarchs)
