Article duplicate with List of Coptic Popes. olivier 07:53 26 May 2003 (UTC)

The lists are only the same until 460 when the Coptic Church split from the Greek Orthodox Church Efghij

It would be nice to have a piece of explanation in the article. olivier 08:22 26 May 2003 (UTC)

Coadjutors[edit]

Why is ther a sudden gap in dates from Theodore II to Theophylactus (inclusive)? These men are listed as "coadjutor", with no dates given. What happened to the See at this time? SigPig 06:42, 20 January 2006 (UTC) did.[reply]

This list is incomplete. there are 128 greek orthodox patriarchs of Alexandria.http://orthodoxwiki.org/List_of_Patriarchs_of_Alexandria I think this list is more accurate because I know for sure that the number of Greek Orthodox Patriarchs of Alexandria are more than the Coptic Popes — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelFayez (talk • contribs) 22:19, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did the latter ones actually LIVE in Alexandria?[edit]

The Coptic Pope lives in CairoEricl (talk)

Who should and shouldn't be on this list[edit]

1. There is already a page for Patriarchs prior to Council of Chalcedon in 451 to avoid dispute

2. The Church of Alexandria is generally considered Non-Chalcedonian as Chalcedon Patriarchs were "installed in opposition"

3. Greek Orthodox Patriarchs cannot include Non-Chalcedonian Patriarchs such as Dioscorus I and any after 451 listed as Coptic Orthodox or Non-Chalcedonian

The List of Coptic Orthodox Popes of Alexandria includes all Patriarchs of Alexandria prior to Chalcedon, who are claimed by both the Chalcedonian and Non-Chalcedonian factions. So this list should include them as well. In fact, it's not even a dispute, really, it's a matter of agreement: both factions agree that those were the legitimate Patriarchs of Alexandria prior to the schism. The dispute is about the post-Chalcedon succession. Ohff (talk) 10:20, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mark and two others[edit]

Today's article on May 8 Eastern Orthodox Liturgics mentions three who are not on this list because this list unaccountably starts centuries after the first archbishop (patriarch to the Greeks, pope to the Copts) of Alexandria, none other than Peter's acolyte Saint Mark the Evangelist. It seems incomprehensible that this article doesn't mention him, even if for some reason the list can't be extended back to the beginning the way the Copts' list is. The other two mentioned today on the calendar but missing here are Saint Anianas, second Bishop of Alexandria (d. 86), and Hieromartyr Stephen II, Patriarch of Antioch (d. 479). --Haruo (talk) 16:33, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
