The Patriarch ate of Jerusalem is currently the only Eastern patriarchal title to be assigned to a Latin Rite Bishop . The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem does not head an '' Sui Iuris '' Particular Church but is rather a bishop whose see has as a permanent privilege the honorific title of patriarch, similarly to the Patriarchs of Venice , Lisbon , and the East Indies . CRUSADER PATRIARCHATE In 1099 Jerusalem was captured by Crusade rs, inaugurating the Kingdom Of Jerusalem , which endured almost 200 years. A Latin hierarchy was established in the Kingdom under a Latin Patriarch. When the last vestiges of the Kingdom were conquered by the Mameluke s in 1291 , the Latin hierarchy was effectively eliminated in the Levant. However, the Church continued to appoint Titular Patriarchs of Jerusalem, who were based at the Basilica Di San Lorenzo Fuori Le Mura in Rome after 1374. During the existence of the Latin Kingdom, the Latin Patriarchate was divided into four archdioceses -their heads bearing the titles of Archbishop Of Tyre , Archbishop Of Caesarea , Archbishop Of Nazareth , and Archbishop Of Petra - and a number of suffragan dioceses. The Latin Patriarch controlled the Latin quarter of the city of Jerusalem (the Holy Sepulchre and the immediate surroundings), and had as his direct suffragans the bishops of Lydda - Ramla , Bethlehem , Hebron , and Gaza , and the abbots of the Temple , Mount Sion , and the Mount Of Olives . MODERN PATRIARCHATE The title Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem was restored as a residential office in 1847 for Bishop Joseph Valerga . The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem is now the diocesan bishop of Latin Catholics in the Holy Land, including Jordan and Cyprus. The current Patriarch is His Beatitide Michel Sabbah , the first Palestinian to hold the post. The residence of the Patriarch is in the Old City of Jerusalem, while the Seminary , which is responsible for the Liturgical education, was moved to Beit Jala , a town 10 km south of Jerusalem, in 1936 .
