==Eastern Catholic Churches== In the [[Eastern Catholic Churches]], eparchy is equivalent to a [[diocese]] of the [[Latin Church]], and its [[Bishop (Catholic Church)|bishop]] can be called an eparch (equivalent to a diocesan of the Latin Church). Similarly, an archeparchy is equivalent to an [[archdiocese]] of the Latin Church and its bishop can be called an archeparch (equivalent to an [[archbishop]] of the Roman Rite).{{sfn|Nedungatt|2002|p=228}} Individual eparchies of some Eastern Catholic Churches may be suffragan to Latin Church metropolitans. For example, the [[Greek Catholic Eparchy of Križevci]] is suffragan to the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Zagreb]].<ref>{{cite web|author=David M.

For example, the [[Macedonian Greek Catholic Church]] is organized as a single [[Macedonian Catholic Eparchy of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Strumica-Skopje|Eparchy of Strumica-Skopje]], whose present ordinary is the Roman Catholic bishop of Skopje.<ref>{{cite web|author=David M.
