Religious offices and appointments

Primatial and equivalent religious appointments

All religious appointments are held under the overall aegis of the Abbey-Principality of San Luigi, within which the Catholicate of the West is the federative ecumenical body under which the various churches and religious orders of the Abbey-Principality are organized.

Within the federation of the Catholicate of the West are merged the following offices within churches and religious orders:

The Catholicate of the West also includes the following historic churches and orders which, while retaining their validity and religious status, do not pursue an active ministry at the present time:
