History
Serving the Greek Byzantine Catholic Church, the Apostolic Exarchate of Greece is an ecclesiastical territory of the Catholic Church in Greece. Because the Greek Byzantine Church has no metropolitan sees, the exarchate is exempt, answering directly to the Holy See and the Congregation for the Oriental Churches. Its cathedra stands in the Holy Trinity Cathedral in the episcopal see of Athens, where a titular bishop bears responsibility for the entire Greek Byzantine Catholic community in Greece.
