that at present twelve Bishops of the Catholic
Church are called Patriarchs.
The number of Archbishoprcs, in 1862 is 139. An
Archbishop most cases, is the head of eccles-
astical province which, beside him, embraces a num-
Der of Bishops Twelve Archbshops are unconnected
with any ecclesiastical province and Immediately
subject to the Pope In the united Eastern Churches
four ArehbshOps subject the Patriarch of their
particular rite. All the others, 125, are heads OF
provinces The BishOprics, in 1869, numbered 723.
OF these six were the suburban sees" occupied by
the Cardinal Bishops; 81 Others were Immediately
subject to the Pope the remainder were members
of an ecclesiastical province and suffragans OF an
Archbishop. The total number of Patrarchates,
Archbshoprics. and Bishoprics amounted to s74.
In addition to the Patriarchs, Archbishops, and
Bishops, there is considerable number of prelates
who styled Bishops in partibHs intdeam that is,
" in the lands of the lnfdels" They are either the
heads of districts in Pagan or Protestant countries
which the Popes do not deem it prudent to erect into
regular diOceses the assistants of some Bishops
who have very large dioceses or who are in nfrm
health, or in some instances, only high digntaries
on whom the Episcopal dignity is conferred from
personal grounds Together there were OF this class
in January, 1862 234. More than hundred dOceses,
however, were vacant, and the actual number of
prelates with the title of Bishops constituting the
Catholic Hierarchy at the beginning of the present
year, was 9Sl.
TUE CATHOLIC HIERARCHY IN AMERTcA-Ec-
CLESIASTICAL PROVINCES IN NORTH AND
SOUTH AMERICA.
The rapid increase of bishoprics in all parts Of the
American continent is counted by the church hisO-
tOrans among the most remarkable facts in the his
tory of the Roman Catholic Church during the be-
ginning of the present century. Foremost in this
respect the United States but also all the other
parts of the New World have received q large adj
dltOn.to the number of their doceses. The total
number of American ArchbishOprics at the begin
ming of the present year was 25 of blshOprlcs I'D
There were beside 10 Wears apostolic and projects
apostolic all of whom bishops in partibus Thus
the total number of American prelates having re-
ceived Episcopal conservation should be 1G7 as there
are however, few vacancies,E their number may be
said to be about lGO They an entirely new ele-
ment in the Gcumencal COuncil for, while at
Trent, the New World only recently discovered, was
not yet represented by q single prelate, now the
American bishops. if all present would constitute
almost one-ffth of the hierarchy assembled at the
Council.
