      Catholic Church


      Apart from historical other uses, there are presently ecclesiastical regions, grouping parts of the extensive episcopate in five Catholic countries.
      The equivalent 'apostolic regions' in France, created in 1961, were suppressed in 2004.

      The dioceses of the United States are grouped into fifteen regions which, strictly speaking, are not "ecclesiastical regions" established by the Holy See, but rather regions that the USCCB established for convenience. They are not canonically established bodies. Fourteen of the regions (numbered I through XIV) are geographically based, for the Latin Catholic dioceses, the Eastern Catholic eparchies (dioceses) constitute the overlapping 'Region' XV.
