The Melkites didn't escape scot free: they were required to wear an octogonal headress in a dark blue color. Eventually over time the octogon morphed into a circle and the blue to black.

Im just surprised - but why does the Catholic Church have a Patriarch for their Church in Egypt and not a Cardinal?

To be fair, they do. He was second to take the cardinal oath yesterday.

The real question is why do they have a patriarch and not a pope in Egypt.

Pictures of the enthronement covering the beginning of the ceremony to the vesting of the new patriarch: http://www1.youm7.com/News.asp?NewsID=976866&

Video of the ceremony beginning with the vesting of the new patriarch:


It's nice to see His Beatitude Ibrahim Isaac resuming the use of wearing the mitre. His predecessor, His Beatitude Antonios Naguib, would only wear the klobuk, even when celebrating liturgy.
