A '''diocese''' is a region of the [[Imperium]] as divided by the [[Adeptus Ministorum]]. Each is headed by a [[Cardinal]] who might control hundreds of [[Preacher]]s within the diocese. Each diocese originally encompassed hundreds of worlds.^1,p5 {{Fn|1a}} [[Ecclesiarch]] [[Sebastian Thor]], as part of his reforms, reduced the size of a diocese and therefore limited the individual power of each Cardinal, making it harder for any one Cardinal to gain too much power.^1,p16 {{Fn|1b}} In the modern Imperium, a single Diocese generally encompasses an entire world.
