Patriarch of the West no more?

It is rumoured that the (as yet unreleased) new edition of the Annuario Pontificio, the official directory of the Holy See, no longer includes "Patriarch of the West" among the list of the Pope's titles (Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Christ, Successor of Peter, Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff, Patriarch of the West, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the State of the Vatican City, and Servant of the Servants of God). This could be simply a reflection of Pope Benedict's humble style of leadership, like the dropping of the triregno or triple tiara from his armorial bearings. On the other hand, the title of Patriarch is of great significance to Orthodox Christians and Eastern-Rite Catholics and it is being suggested that this change may be seen in a negative light by the Orthodox, particularly those hostile to ecumenical dialogue. Dialogue with the Orthodox is a high priority for Pope Benedict, so it will be interesting to see how this develops.
