patriarchate
Senior cleric's domain
A patriarchate is the office, jurisdiction, or residence of a patriarch—particularly in Eastern Orthodox and Catholic churches, where patriarchs govern major ecclesiastical regions.
The term also refers to the territory under a patriarch's authority: the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
More broadly, patriarchate can mean a society or system governed by male authority, though patriarchy is more common in this sense.
