Roman Catholic Diocese of California
Former residential and current titular see of the Catholic Church
The Diocese of California, Diocese of the Californias or Diocese of Two Californias, (Latin: Dioecesis Californiensis) is a former Latin Church residential episcopal see that existed during 1840–1849, covering the Californias (including both Alta California and Baja California). After the Mexican–American War, the American portion became the Diocese of Monterey in California, while the Mexican portion was eventually reorganized into the Diocese of Tijuana. In 1996, the title was revived as a titular see of the Catholic Church.[1]
