What do Eastern Catholics call the Pope?

[Catechesis]

What terms and titles do Eastern Catholics use when referring to the Pope?

 

[SyroMalankara]

Syriac Churches: Mor/Mar Papa, basically Holy Father, literally Lord Father (all bishops are Mor/Mar)

 

[DanielStDominic]

Francis.

 

[DeniseNY]

In the Divine Liturgy he is referred to as “our holy ecumenical pontiff, Francis, Pope of Rome”

But in general, Pope Francis.

 

[Thomas48]

Syro Malabar Catholics refer to the pope as Francis Mar Papa or Mar Francis Papa

 

[DignumEtJustum]

Il Papa nostra.

“Francis, Pope of Rome” Maronite Divine Liturgy (English), in conversation simply Pope Francis.

 

[porthos11]

“Pope of Rome” is also the English used in the UGCC Divine Liturgy here in Canada.

 

[Brassring]

Technically, he’s the Argentinian Bishop of Rome

 

[FrDcnJohn]

Technically, he’s the Argentinian Bishop of Rome

Lol…Perfect!

 

[MorEphrem]

Il Papa nostra.

Pray tell, what language is that? If it’s supposed to be Italian, the Pope is masculine and, therefore, so is the possessive pronoun, which goes before the object. Declension and syntax aside, why would Eastern Catholics [apart from a small minority in Italy] use Italian?

Anyway, in Syriac, the Pope was generally commemorated Mor Flan, Papa d-Rumi (lit. my lord, N., Pope of Rome). I’m not familiar with any other textual references to Papal titles in Syriac outside this particular diptych commemoration (I’ve never really understood the more recent Maronite reservation of the episcopal title Mar for the patriarch exclusively). Of course, with certain Maronite text promulgations with Latin forewords or colophons he’s referred to as Pontifex Maximus.

Yes but just to clarify, from what I can recall that was only in some editions published in (big surprise) Rome. Even then, it’s found in the Latin text, but I do not recall seeing it rendered in Syriac.

 

[MorEphrem]

Yes.
