The most senior bishop in consecration will become the Locum tenens in case of the death of the pope and until the election of the new pope, and he will be the one who enthrones the newly elected pope along with all the hierarchs, who are members of the Holy Synod. This seniority ranking system does not diminish the importance and the greatness of the Archdiocese of Jerusalem and All the Near East, since its inclusion under the jurisdiction of the Apostolic Church of Alexandria in early medieval times. The archiepiscopal status of this great metropolis is also granted due to the Holy Apostolic Throne that it represents, being the Apostolic and Patriarchal Throne of Jerusalem, although its metropolitan archbishop does not claim that title and is under the jurisdiction of the Holy Apostolic Throne of Alexandria.
