[edit] Diocese of Rome

Rome is not an archdiocese. It is a metropolitan, but only carries the rank of diocese. (Hence the Pope is called Bishop of Rome - not Archbishop of Rome.)

It is neither a regular diocese, an archdiocese or a metropolitan archdiocese. Gcatolic.com lists it as a "Papal See".

By the way, there is no "metropolitan diocese", only metropolitan archdioceses. See Gcatolic.com for a list of all different kinds of diocese existing.

[edit] China

The Vatican only recognizes Taiwan as the government of China, instead of Beijing, so when we mention "China" we should clarify which one we're talking about. --Lou Crazy 00:22, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
