A '''Diocese''' is a region of the galaxy as divided by the [[Adeptus Ministorum]]. Each is headed by a [[Cardinal]] who might control hundreds of [[PreachersPreacher]] s within the Diocese. Each diocese originally encompassed hundreds of worlds.<sup>1,p5</sup> [[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.<sup>1,p16</sup> In the modern Imperium, a single Diocese generally encompasses an entire world.
