Talk:List of patriarchs of Alexandria

George of Cappadocia
No mention is made of George of Cappadocia, who was appointed to the episcopate in 349 and took possession of the see in 356, until he was killed by a mob in 361 (Barnes, Athanasius and Constantius 47). If you want to leave out bishops not recognized as "orthodox" that is one thing, but to mention Gregory of Cappadocia and not mention George does not make any sense.Ocyril (talk) 20:22, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Request for comment
As the Chalcedonian schism occurred in 451, would the preceding Popes not all be considered Eastern Catholics? As, prior to the definition of the hypostatic union as doctrine within the Catholic Church, the Church in Alexandria was Catholic insofar as Catholic meant the state of being in Communion with the Holy See.

Additionally, would those Popes listed as Eastern Orthodox prior to the East-West Schism, not themselves be Eastern Catholic? Again, as with before, the Eastern Orthodox Church was still in Communion with the Holy See until the mutual excommunication made by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople and the Pope against each other and their two churches.

Given this, I propose adding the relevant Eastern Catholic categories where appropriate (the pre-Chalcedonian Coptic Patriarchs and the pre-Schism of 1054 Eastern Alexandrian Patriarchs). This is a relatively trivial issue, but I feel like it needs to be discussed at length before any changes are made.

Thank you

 * This is beyond my own understanding historically. I think if you think its not going to be offensive or controversial, is rooted in history and you have sources to back it up, you should just go ahead and make the change (especially if it is, as you say, trivial). If people have a problem they will edit it or revert it. Prasangika37 (talk) 14:18, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
