ersity of gifts offices conditions and ways of life of its members are not opposed to the church s unity 14 in this sense of church the list of churches in the catholic church has only one member the catholic church itself comprising roman and eastern churches within the catholic church there are local particular churches of which dioceses are the most familiar form other forms include territorial abbacies apostolic vicariates and apostolic prefectures the 1983 code of canon law states particular churches in which and from which the one and only catholic church exists are principally dioceses unless the contrary is clear the following are equivalent to a diocese a territorial prelature a territorial abbacy a vicariate apostolic a prefecture apostolic and a permanently established apostolic administration 15 a list of catholic dioceses of which on 31 december 2011 there were 2 834 16 is given at list of catholic dioceses alphabetical within the catholic church there are also aggregations of local particular churches that share a specific liturgical theological spiritual and canonical heritage distinguished from other heritages on the basis of cultural and historical circumstances these are known as autonomous sui iuris churches the 1990 code of canons of the eastern churches defines such a church as follows a group of christ s faithful hierarchically linked in accordance with law and given express or tacit recognition by the supreme authority of the church is in this code called an autonomous church 17 there are 24 such autonomous catholic churches one latin church i e western and 23 eastern catholic churches a distinction by now more historical than geographical although each of them has its own specific heritage they are all in full communion with the pope in rome unlike families or federations of churches formed through the grant of mutual recognition by distinct ecclesial bodies 18 the catholic church considers itself a single church full communion one body composed of a multitude of particular churches each of which as stated is an embodiment of the fullness of the one catholic church for the particular churches within the catholic church whether

branches divisions or sections of a larger body theologically each is considered to be the embodiment in a particular place or for a particular community of the one whole catholic church it is in these and formed out of them that the one and unique catholic church exists 19 20 particular churches sui iuris edit main articles church sui iuris latin church and eastern catholic churches there are 24 autonomous churches one latin church and twenty three eastern catholic churches a distinction by now more historical than geographical the term sui iuris means literally of its own law or self governing although all of the particular churches espouse the same beliefs and faith their distinction lies in their varied expression of that faith through their traditions disciplines and canon law all are in communion with the holy see for this kind of particular church the 1983 code of canon law uses the unambiguous phrase autonomous ritual church latin ecclesia ritualis sui iuris the 1990 code of canons of the eastern churches which is concerned principally with what the second vatican council called particular churches or rites shortened this to autonomous church latin ecclesia sui iuris 21 local particular churches edit in catholic teaching each diocese latin church term or eparchy eastern term is also a local or particular church though it lacks the autonomy of the autonomous churches described above a diocese is a section of the people of god entrusted to a bishop to be guided by him with the assistance of his clergy so that loyal to its pastor and formed by him into one community in the holy spirit through the gospel and the eucharist it constitutes one particular church in which the one holy catholic and apostolic church of christ is truly present and active 22 the 1983 code of canon law which is concerned with the latin church alone and so with only one autonomous particular church uses the term particular church only in the sense of local church as in its canon 373 it is within the competence of the supreme authority alone to establish particular churches once they are lawfully established the law itself gives them juridical personality 23 the standard form of these local or particular churches each of which is headed by a bishop is called a diocese in the latin church and an eparchy in the eastern churches at the end of 2011 the total number of all these jurisdictional areas or sees was 2 834 24 local particular church of rome edit main articles holy see and diocese of rome the holy see the diocese of rome is seen as the central local church the bishop the pope is considered to be in a unique sense the successor of saint peter the chief or prince of the apostles quoting the second vatican council s document lumen gentium the catechism of the catholic church states the pope bishop of rome and peter s successor is the perpetual and visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful 25 all the catholic particular churches whether latin or eastern local or autonomous are by definition in full communion with the holy see of rome rites edit see also ritual family the code of canons of the eastern churches defines rite as the liturgical theological spiritual and disciplinary heritage distinguished according to peoples culture and historical circumstances that finds expression in each autonomous church s way of living the faith 26 as thus defined rite concerns not only a people s liturgy manner of worship but also its theology understanding of doctrine spirituality prayer and devotion and discipline canon law in this sense of the word rite the list of rites within the catholic church is identical with that of the autonomous churches each of which has its own heritage which distinguishes that church from others and membership of a church involves participation in its liturgical theological spiritual and disciplinary heritage however church refers to the people and rite to their heritage 27 the code of canons of the eastern churches states that the rites with which it is concerned but which it does not list spring from the following five traditions alexandrian antiochian armenian chaldean and constantinopolitan 28 since it covers only eastern catholic churches and rites it does not mention those of western latin tradition a chart showing catholic liturgical rites the word rite is sometimes used with reference only to liturgy ignoring the theological spiritual and disciplinary elements in the heritage of the churches in this sense rite has been defined as the whole complex of the liturgical services of any church or group of churches 29 between rites in this exclusively liturgical sense and the autonomous churches there is no strict correspondence such as there is when rite is understood as in the code of canons of the eastern churches the 14 autonomous churches of byzantine tradition have a single liturgical rite but vary mainly in liturgical language while on the contrary the single latin church has several distinct liturgical rites whose universal main form the roman rite is practised in latin or in the local vernacular latin western

catholics could only transfer from one rite to another with the permission of the holy see noting that a return to a person s historical family rite would likely be an example of a reason for a person to transfer on or after marriage a woman could transfer to her husband s rite and on his death or the dissolution of the marriage she could return to her former rite 32 see also edit autocephaly
