Everything about Suburbicarian Diocese totally explained
The seven
suburbicarian dioceses are
Roman Catholic dioceses located in the
suburbs that surround
Rome, reserved for the highest order of
Cardinals.
A
Cardinal Bishop is named
titular bishop of each of the
sees, which have varied slightly in history but are now
Velletri-Segni,
Porto-Santa Rufina,
Frascati,
Palestrina,
Albano,
Sabina-Poggio Mirteto, and
Ostia; the
see of Ostia is conferred on the
Dean of the College of Cardinals in addition to his other see; the Dean is chosen by and from the six cardinal bishops of the suburbicarian dioceses, with the approval of the
pope (formerly the dean was always the longest-serving cardinal bishop).
However, since the
1960s, six of the dioceses have had their own substantive
bishop, pursuant to a decree of
Pope John XXIII titled
Suburbicarii Sedis, with the exception of
Ostia which was merged with the diocese of Rome and is administered by Rome's
Cardinal Vicar General.
The
titular bishops still formally "take possession" of the dioceses but the substantive bishops exercise all
ordinary jurisdiction.
