Armenic catholicate of Cicily

My comment:

Catholicate is clearly a neologism. I followed the same gramatical rule that make prince->principate. Basically, it's the tranformation of a past principle in a noun. Because of that, other forms could be chosen (catholicship, catholichood...) but catholicate is more similar to the italian/latin word of origin.

Luca Scinetti has half idea. Why does he participate? - The (Greek woord) katholikos designs the highest bishop or Armenia - the oldest Christian State Church of the world -, as the Roman pope of Rome, the Aegyptian (kopt) pope of Alexandria. The Catholicatus is a latinized correspondent of the Greek Episcopatus, the dioikesis (diecese)of the Katholikos, his bishopric - region of jurisprudence - in Old English.

Mayer de Borszowitzky is right about the etymology. I didn't mean to propose any etymology in my explanations, but only to expose a possible english translation of an italian word (taken from latin) which is almost unknown and which I couldn't find in any of the italian (or latin) dictionaries I searched on. As a side note, no need to be rude. :)
