Roman Catholic dioceses in India

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roman Catholic Church in India includes 166 dioceses, of which 129 are Latin, 29 are Syro-Malabar and 8 are Syro-Malankara. These are organised into 30 ecclesiastical provinces, comprising 23 Latin rite, 5 Syro-Malabar and 2 Syro-Malankara provinces.[1]
The bishops of the Latin Church, Syro-Malabar Church and Syro-Malankara Church form the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India(CBCI).[2] This episcopal conference was established in 1944.
