The Eritrean Catholic Archeparchy of Asmara ((ラテン語:Archieparchia Asmarensis)) is the Metropolitan See for the Ecclesiastical province of Asmara in Eritrea. Its Metropolitan, currently archeparch Menghesteab Tesfamariam, is the head of the single-province Eritrean Catholic Church, which follows the Alexandrian rite, like the Copts of Egypt. The Eritrean Church uses the Ge'ez language liturgically, like the neighboring Ethiopian Catholic Church, from part of whose jurisdiction the Eritrean Church was erected. It is the Eastern Catholic counterpart of the (Coptic) Eritrean Orthodox Church, which is headed by a patriarch, whose see is also in Asmara. == History == On 4 July 1930, Pope Pius XI established the Ordinariate of Eritrea. Pope Pius XII elevated it as the Apostolic Exarchate of Asmara on 31 October 1951. Blessed John XXIII elevated it to an eparchy on 20 February 1961. It lost territory on 21 December 1995 when the Eparchies of Barentu and Keren were established. It lost territory again in 2012 when the Eparchy of Segheneity was established.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eparchy of Asmara (Ethiopian) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ethiopic Diocese of Asmara )〕 In January 2015 Pope Francis erected the metropolitan ''sui iuris'' Eritrean Catholic Church and elevated the Eparchy of Asmara to the dignity of Archeparchy. All three aforementioned dioceses founded from Asmara's territory are now its suffragan eparchies. 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「Eritrean Catholic Archeparchy of Asmara」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
