The Archdiocese of Buenos Aires (''Archidioecesis Bonaerensis'') is an ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church based on the autonomous city of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. Its mother church is the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral. On 13 March 2013, then-Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected as Pope, under the name of Francis. The current archbishop, since 28 March 2013, is Mario Aurelio Poli, appointed by Pope Francis to succeed him as Archbishop of Buenos Aires. The territory of the Archdiocese has an area of 203 km² and a population of 2,729,610 (2005), of which around 2.5 million are Catholic, served by 182 parishes. It is divided into the four zonal vicaries of Flores, Devoto, Belgrano, and Centro which are further subdivided into 20 deaconates. The archdiocese has 11 suffragans, corresponding to the dioceses of Avellaneda-Lanús, Gregorio de Laferrere, Lomas de Zamora, Merlo-Moreno, Morón, San Charbel of Buenos Aires (Maronite), San Isidro, San Justo, San Martín, San Miguel, and Santa María del Patrocinio en Buenos Aires (Ukrainian). The diocese was erected on 6 April 1620 as an offshoot of the Diocese of Paraguay and was elevated to archdiocese on 5 March 1866. It has since lost large parts of its territory to the new dioceses of Montevideo, Paraná, La Plata, and Viedma; however, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires remains the ceremonial Primate of Argentina. ==List of ordinaries== The following is a list of ordinaries, since the erection of the diocese on 6 April 1620: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Buenos Aires」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
