Roman Catholic Church in India includes 31 provinces, which are organised into 23 Latin (Roman Catholic), 4 Syro-Malabar and 2 Syro-Malankara provinces.[1]
The bishops of the Latin Church, Syro-Malabar Church and Syro-Malankara Church form the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India, which has its own president, vice presidents, and secretary independent of those elected to the CBCI. This episcopal conference was established by Pope John Paul II in 1987.
