Understanding Dioceses and Bishops by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A diocese is a territorial portion of the Church entrusted to a bishop for pastoral care, with key components including the bishop, diocesan Curia, and chapter of canons. Bishops have legislative, executive, and judicial powers, and upon reaching 75, they must submit their resignation to the Pope. The Diocese of Puerto Plata was established in 1996, has had two bishops, and includes multiple parishes and priests serving the community.
