Dioceses range in size from tiny to very large. For instance, the Church in Italy (area 116,350 sq mi) has 227 for an average size of 513 sq. mi., whilst the Church in Canada (area 3,855,100 sq mi) has only 72, with an average size of 53,549 sq. mi. The extreme is probably Russia, which has an area of 6,601,670 sq. mi. with only four Dioceses, giving an average area of 1650417 sq. mi. per Diocese!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
