Al 21 de junio de 2024, la Iglesia Católica en su totalidad comprende 3.172 jurisdicciones eclesiásticas , incluidas más de 652 archidiócesis y 2.249 diócesis , así como vicariatos apostólicos , exarcados apostólicos , administraciones apostólicas , prefecturas apostólicas , ordinariatos militares , ordinariatos personales , prelaturas personales , prelaturas territoriales , abadías territoriales y misiones sui juris en todo el mundo.
Además de estas jurisdicciones, hay 2.100 sedes titulares (obispados, arzobispados y metropolitanos).
Se trata de una lista estructural para mostrar las relaciones de cada diócesis entre sí, agrupadas por provincia eclesiástica , dentro de cada conferencia episcopal , dentro de cada continente u otra área geográfica.
Mapa Este mapa visualiza las provincias de la Iglesia Católica Romana, así como las arquidiócesis (y otras entidades de nivel superior) donde no hay provincias establecidas.
Tipos de diócesis católicas Se refiere a las diócesis católicas en el mundo, de todas las iglesias latinas u orientales, al 5 de octubre de 2021. [update] [ 1]
Tipos adicionales, exclusivos para las Iglesias Orientales, Uso Ordinariato y Forma Extraordinaria
Diócesis católicas exentas (sujetas directamente a la Santa Sede) exentas de pertenecer a ninguna provincia eclesiástica , por lo que sólo el Vaticano puede ejercer la autoridad y las funciones de coordinación que normalmente corresponden al Arzobispo Metropolitano. Se agrupan aquí geográficamente. No obstante, la mayoría pertenecen a una conferencia episcopal , en cuyo caso la mención más relevante es la de su región geográfica, ya que las diócesis exentas como tales no tienen vínculos específicos entre sí.
Los Ordinariatos Militares están a cargo pastoral de las tropas de un estado, pero pueden estar encomendados a un Arzobispo Metropolitano, normalmente en la capital nacional.También suelen estar exentas las prefecturas apostólicas y los vicariatos apostólicos , que tienden a ser diócesis misioneras temporales, que se espera que pasen a formar parte de una provincia eclesiástica cuando sean promovidas a obispado regular (archi- o sufragáneo). A los Ordinariatos Personales de los antiguos anglicanos (que dejaron la Comunión Anglicana para entrar en comunión con la Santa Sede) se les permite utilizar el Uso del Ordinariato , que se considera un uso variante del Rito Romano (a diferencia de los cinco ritos distintos de las iglesias orientales). Los Ordinariatos Orientales están a cargo pastoral de todas las Iglesias Orientales, sólo de aquellas de rito bizantino o incluso sólo de rito armenio, en uno o más estados de varias iglesias católicas sin ninguna diócesis propia allí, pero generalmente están a cargo de un arzobispo metropolitano católico romano, a menudo en la capital. En la Curia romana se ignoran muchos prelados episcopales o arzobispales , ya que sus dicasterios no constituyen diócesis, aunque muchos puestos allí requieren por ley o costumbre un obispo o un arzobispo (generalmente titular), así como los puestos diplomáticos del Vaticano en casi todas las capitales nacionales.

Eastern Catholic Churches by Rite The 23 Eastern Catholic Churches retain many Orthodox traditions, even in the hierarchic terminology, such as calling dioceses Eparchies and archdioceses Archeparchies.
Their respective diocesan structures overlap with and are partially parallel to each other, to the Latin Catholic church and to Orthodox churches, often 'sharing' a see. In addition, exempt, 'mixed' ordinariates for the Eastern churches without dioceses of their own are established in a few (European and Latin American) countries, directly subject to the Holy See.
They are presented grouped per ancient rite, or liturgical tradition. Following the name of each Church is given the nature of their ecclesiastical polity ; for instance, whether it is headed by a Patriarch, a Major Archbishop, a Metropolitan Archbishop, or has no unified structure and is instead composed of jurisdictions each individually subject to the Holy See.
