Summary/Abstract: In the thematic context of the Fifth International Conference of the Balkan Association of Roman Law and Roman Law Tradition "Societas pro iure romano" I would like to make some observations on the impact exercised by Roman law in the elaboration of the canonical order of the ecclesia catholica. The following annotations address the genesis of the patriarchal institution, to reveal its original Roman legislative concept. Moreover, the identity of the patriarchal function today constitutes a question not entirely unrelated to the conflicting opinions, found in Orthodox circles, regarding the recent proclamation of Ukrainian autocephaly.
