The Armenian Catholic Church ((アルメニア語:Հայ Կաթողիկէ Եկեղեցի), ''Hay Kat’oġikē Ekeġec’i'') is one of the ''sui juris'' Eastern Catholic Churches of the Catholic Church. They accept the leadership over the Church of the Bishop of Rome, known as the Pope, and therefore are in full communion with the other Eastern Catholic Churches, and the Latin Church. The Armenian Catholic Church is regulated by Eastern canon law. The head of the Church is the Armenian Catholic Patriarchate of Cilicia and the main cathedral of the Church is the Cathedral of St Elie and St Gregory the Illuminator in Beirut, Lebanon. ==History== After the Armenian Apostolic Church formally broke off communion from the Chalcedonian churches in the 5th century, some Armenian bishops and congregations made attempts to restore communion with the Catholic Church. During the Crusades, the church of the Armenian kingdom of Cilicia entered into a union with the Catholic Church, an attempt that did not last. The union was later re-established during the Council of Florence in 1439, but did not have any real effects for centuries. In 1740, Abraham-Pierre I Ardzivian, who had earlier become a Catholic, was elected as the patriarch of Sis. Two years later Pope Benedict XIV formally established the Armenian Catholic Church. In 1749, the Armenian Catholic Church built a convent in Bzoummar, Lebanon. During the Armenian Genocide in 1915–1918 the Church scattered among neighboring countries, mainly Lebanon and Syria. The Armenian Catholic community was also previously formed by Armenians living in Poland in 1630s after the union by the Armenian bishop of Leopolis - Nicholas (Polish: Mikołaj) Torosowicz, who established bonds with the Roman Catholic Church. The community which had been historically centered in Galicia as well as in the pre-1939 Polish borderlands in the east, was after World War II expelled to present-day Poland and now has three parishes: in Gdańsk, in Gliwice and in Warsaw. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Armenian Catholic Church」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
