	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Prefecture Apostolic of Welle
		Located in the extreme north of Belgian Congo, Africa, separated by a Decree of the Propaganda on 12 May, 1898, from the Vicariate Apostolic of the Congo Free State, and committed to the care of the Canons Regular Premonstratensian of Tongerloo, Belgium.
		By a Decree, however, of 16 June, 1910, the northern boundary was extended so as to include a portion of the Vicariate Apostolic of the Sudan and now along the River Bomer and the watershed of the Nile and the Congo to where it crosses the 4° S. latitude.
		He resides at Imbembo in the south-western portion of the prefecture.

	Help/Terminology [Catholic-Hierarchy]
		(For example, "Prefectures" are often lead by a non-bishop ordinary.)
		The "Episcopal Lineage" or "Apostolic Succession" is simply a list tracing back a bishop's principal consecrator and then that bishop's principal consecrator, etc. This information is not always listed - most often because I simply have not had the time to add the information (or have not yet discovered it).
		The lineage, in theory, should be traceable back to one of the apostles.
