The Patriarch of the West Indies is the leader of one of the Latin Rite Patriarchates of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The Patriarchate of the West Indies was created on 11 May 1524 as part of the Roman Catholic Church of Spain, for the purposes of the latter's colonial missions in the Americas. Unlike the other patriarchs, the Patriarch of the West Indies is not tied to a particular episcopal see; the title was given to whichever bishop was serving as the chaplain of the Spanish Army, the General Vicar of the Armies. Latin Rite, in the singular and accompanied, in English, by the definite article, is the term used in documents of the Catholic Church, including the opening canon of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, to refer to the particular Churches within it that developed in the area of western Europe...
