  Suburbicarian diocese - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The seven suburbicarian dioceses are Roman Catholic dioceses located in the suburbs that surround Rome.
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.
The titular bishops still formally "take possession" of the dioceses but the substantive bishops exercise all ordinary jurisdiction.
