In addition to these jurisdictions, there are 2,100 titular sees (bishoprics, archbishoprics and metropolitanates).
This is a structural list to show the relationships of each diocese to one another, grouped by ecclesiastical province, within each episcopal conference, within each continent or other geographical area.

Exempt Catholic Dioceses (directly subject to the Holy See)
These (arch)dioceses are exempt from belonging to any ecclesiastical province, hence only the Vatican can exert the authority and coordinating functions normally falling to the Metropolitan Archbishop. They are grouped here geographically. Nevertheless, most belong to an episcopal conference, in which case the more relevant mention is in its geographical region, as exempt dioceses as such do not have specific ties with each other.
Military Ordinariates are in pastoral charge of the troops of a state, but may be vested in a Metropolitan Archbishop, typically in the national capital.
Also generally exempt are the apostolic prefectures and apostolic vicariates, which tend to be temporary missionary dioceses, expected to become part of an ecclesiastical province when promoted to regular (arch- or suffragan) bishopric.
The Personal Ordinariates for former Anglicans (who left the Anglican Communion for communion with the Holy See) are allowed to use the Ordinariate Use, which is counted as a variant usage of the Roman Rite (unlike the Eastern churches' five distinct rites).
Eastern Ordinariates are in pastoral charge of all Eastern Churches, of only those of Byzantine Rite or even just of the Armenian Rite, in one or more states of various Catholic churches without any proper diocese there, but are usually vested in a Roman Catholic Metropolitan Archbishop, often in the capital.
Disregarded are many episcopal or archiepiscopal prelates in the Roman Curia, as their dicasteries don't constitute dioceses, although many posts there require by law or custom a bishop or an archbishop (usually titular), just as the Vatican's diplomatic posts in nearly every national capital.
Universal or transcontinental exempt dioceses (not counting minor dependencies)
The personal prelature (a unique status) of Opus Dei, with a cathedral see (Santa Maria della Pace ai Parioli) in Rome, ranking as bishopric.
(The ecclesiastical provinces' corresponding administrative regions are mentioned in parentheses)
For overseas French dioceses, see under their continents and Episcopal conferences of Antilles (Central America) and Pacific (Oceania)
Exempt Latin dioceses, directly subject to the Holy See
Diocese of (Seo de) Urgell, including Andorra, where the bishop still shares the joint sovereign status of 'co-prince' with the French head of state, making him the last true prince-bishop besides the pope
Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toledo, primatial see of Spain - This archdiocese is the only one using a now strictly local Latin liturgical rite besides the general Roman Rite - Mozarabic rite (Latin language)
The Belarusian Catholic Church (Byzantine Rite) has no proper diocese presently, only an apostolic visitor for Belarus and another for abroad, neither vested in any see
the province also comprises the Diocese of Skopje, which covers the Republic of Macedonia and belongs to the episcopal conference of Saints Cyril and Method (Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia)
the province also comprises the Diocese of Srijem, which is in Serbia and hence belongs to the episcopal conference of Saints Cyril and Method (Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia)
the province also comprises the Diocese of Kotor, which is in and covers Montenegro and hence belongs to the episcopal conference of Saints Cyril and Method (Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia)

Provinces and dioceses of the Latin Church in the United States. Each color represents one of the 32 Latin-rite provinces. Not depicted are the U.S. Virgin Islands, which constitute the Diocese of St. Thomas, the sole suffragan diocese in the Province of Washington, D.C.
Note:The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) divides the non-exempt dioceses of the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) into fourteen geographical regions—termed "Bishops' Regions" for the Latin Church provinces—and a fifteenth "region" that consists of the Eastern Catholic eparchies. These regions are not the canonical "ecclesiastical regions" described in canon 433 and 434, but are operated by an elected regional chairman.[2] However, the Ordinaries of Personal Ordinariates established under the auspices of Anglicanorum Coetibus are members of their respective Bishops’ Conferences, and the USCCB lists the exempt Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter as a part of Bishops’ Region X.
Ecclesiastical province of Portland in Oregon, comprising the states of Idaho, Montana and Oregon, except for the parts of Yellowstone National Park in the states of Idaho and Montana.
This is not a geographical region and it does not consist of ecclesiastical provinces. Instead, it consists exclusively of US branches of various, generally Europe- or Asia-based, particular Eastern Catholic Churches. See the Eastern Catholic Churches section (below) for their particular hierarchies.

The wider Inter-Regional Meeting of Bishops of Southern Africa (I.M.B.I.S.A.) also includes Angola and São Tomé and Príncipe, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe
The 23 Eastern Catholic Churches retain many Orthodox traditions, even in the hierarchic terminology, such as calling dioceses Eparchies and archdioceses Archeparchies.
Their respective diocesan structures overlap with and are partially parallel to each other, to the Latin Catholic church and to Orthodox churches, often 'sharing' a see. In addition, exempt, 'mixed' ordinariates for the Eastern churches without dioceses of their own are established in a few (European and Latin American) countries, directly subject to the Holy See.
They are presented grouped per ancient rite, or liturgical tradition. Following the name of each Church is given the nature of their ecclesiastical polity; for instance, whether it is headed by a Patriarch, a Major Archbishop, a Metropolitan Archbishop, or has no unified structure and is instead composed of jurisdictions each individually subject to the Holy See.
Exempt, joint ordinariates for all the Eastern faithful
The more general adjective "Byzantine" is often used instead of "Ruthenian" in North America.

Armenian Catholic Patriarchate of Cilicia, the patriarchal see of the Armenian Catholic Church, with cathedral in Beirut, Lebanon, as Metropolitan Archeparch, with four suffragan eparchies
Syro-Malabar eparchies
These are suffragans of Roman Catholic (Latin Church) Indian Metropolitan archbishops, hence part of their mixed-rite provinces.
