In the Roman Catholic faith, what is a diocese?

  1. A group of diocesan priests

  2. A historical document of the church

  3. A geographical grouping of parishes under the jurisdiction of a Bishop

  4. A place of worship for Catholic congregations

The correct answer is: A geographical grouping of parishes under the jurisdiction of a Bishop

A diocese in the Roman Catholic faith refers to a geographical grouping of parishes that are under the jurisdiction of a bishop. This structure allows for organized governance and administration of the church within a specific region. The bishop oversees the spiritual and administrative needs of the diocese, providing leadership and care for the communities within it. The other options represent different aspects of church life but do not accurately define what a diocese is. For example, a group of diocesan priests pertains to clergy within the diocese rather than the diocese itself. A historical document of the church refers to written records significant to church history, not to its organizational structure. A place of worship for Catholic congregations describes individual churches but does not encapsulate the larger organizational framework that the term "diocese" represents.
