eastern tradition but in full communion with the bishop of rome the pope the ecclesiastical title of exarch is in common use just as with its orthodox counterparts these churches are in general not identified with a particular liturgical rite thus no fewer than fourteen of them use the same byzantine rite mostly in one or other of only two languages greek and church slavonic but they maintain their distinct identities because of population shifts half or so of these churches have not just exarchates but full scale eparchies bishoprics or even archeparchies archdioceses outside their original territory apostolic exarchs edit apostolic exarch is usually a consecrated bishop of a titular see to whom the pope as bishop of the roman see of the apostle peter has entrusted the pastoral care of the faithful of an autonomous eastern catholic particular church sui iuris in an area not raised to the rank of eparchy diocese that is situated outside the home territory of an eastern catholic church the office of apostolic exarch thus corresponds to what in the latin church is called an apostolic vicar apostolic exarchates are generally exempt immediately subject to the holy see with limited oversight by the patriarch major archbishop or metropolitan in chief of the particular eastern church if there is no metropolitan in a particular eastern catholic church apostolic exarchates in their territories are directly subjected to rome for example the byzantine catholic apostolic exarchate of serbia belongs to the byzantine catholic church of croatia and serbia but since there is no metropolitan in that church the apostolic exarch of serbia is directly subjected to the holy see 13 patriarchal exarchs edit a patriarchal exarch is appointed in those eastern catholic churches whose head is styled as patriarch this office is often not always given to a consecrated bishop of a titular see their appointments are limited to the traditional territory of their church with main task of governing the region not yet raised to the rank of eparchy diocese they may be suffragan to an archdiocese or archeparchy of the eastern catholic church or be immediately subject to the patriarch archiepiscopal exarchs edit archiepiscopal exarch is appointed in those eastern catholic churches whose head is styled as major archbishop the office of archiepiscopal exarch is also usually given to a consecrated bishop of a titular see appointment of archiepiscopal exarchs is limited to the traditional territory of their particular church they also may be suffragans to an archdiocese or archeparchy of their eastern catholic church or be immediately subject to the major archbishop coadjutor exarchs edit in particular cases usually because of illness or some other problem an exarch of any rank can be assisted by the appointment of a colleague who is called coadjutor exarch the position of coadjutor exarch towards his superior exarch is similar to the position of latin coadjutor bishop towards his superior diocesan bishop coadjutor exarchs are appointed with rights of succession for example in 1993 titular bishop christo proykov of briula was appointed coadjutor to apostolic exarch of sofia methodius stratiev and when the latter died in 1995 the coadjutor exarch succeeded him as the new apostolic exarch 14 auxiliary exarchs edit in practice exarch of any rank can be additionally assisted by an auxiliary exarch who is appointed in order to help the exarch in administration of his exarchate position of auxiliary exarch towards his superior exarch is similar to position of latin auxiliary bishop towards his superior diocesan bishop auxiliary exarchs are appointed without the rights of succession list of eastern catholic exarchates edit the following eastern catholic exarchates can be found in the 2006 annuario pontificio and newer sources 15 the apostolic exarchates are exempt i e immediately subject to the holy see rather than to their
