Diocesan Curia
The diocesan curia (from Latin curia , council, [court]) are the management and administrative bodies of a diocese or other particular churches . According to can. 469 CIC Institutions and persons who help the local ordinary in the management of the particular Church, in particular in the areas of pastoral care , administration and ecclesiastical jurisdiction . Some religious institutes also call the leadership of their order curia, for example the Curia Generalizia of the Dominicans or the Curia generalis of the Jesuits .
The Roman Curia , which as the curial authority of the Holy See is responsible for the administration of the whole Church, is of particular importance .
Institutions of the Curia are in particular the Ordinariat (also: General Vicariate) for the administration and the official office for the judiciary. In addition to the bishop, members of the curia are usually the vicar general , the episcopal vicars , auxiliary bishops , the official and other senior staff of the diocese. Advisory bodies are the Council of Priests and the Council of Catholics .
The offices of the diocesan curia are occupied by the diocesan bishop ( can. 470 CIC ). The moderator of the Curia has the task, under the authority of the Bishop, of coordinating the work of the Curia and, in particular, the administration of the administration; as a rule, the Vicar General is entrusted with this task ( can. 473 CIC ).
