Definition of diocese
A diocese is a territorial unit of the church that is governed by a bishop. It is further divided into parishes and is a bishop's jurisdiction. Several dioceses together are governed by an archbishop.
- The Diocese of New York is led by Bishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan.
- The Diocese of London is led by Bishop Sarah Mullally.
- The Diocese of Rome is led by Pope Francis.
These examples illustrate how a diocese is a specific area of the church that is led by a bishop. Each diocese has its own leader who is responsible for overseeing the spiritual needs of the people within that area.
