| Rome was accorded great respect by the other patriarchates, because it was the capitol of the empire, the place where Peter and Paul were martyred, and had a good reputation for orthodoxy (compared with, for example, Alexandria and Antioch). The present organization of the Church consists of the Patriarchate of Etchmiadzin (the Patriarch is the head of the Armenian Church), the Catholicate of Sis, and the Patriarchates of Jerusalem and Constantinople. In addition, the Armenian patriarchates in Istanbul and Jerusalem play significant roles. |
