- Vicar General
According to the Code of Canon Law (CIC 475): Â In each diocese, the Diocesan Bishop is to appoint a Vicar General to assist him in the governance of the whole Diocese.
(CIC 479) In virtue of his office the Vicar General has the same executive power throughout the whole diocese as that which belongs by law to the diocesan Bishop: that is, he can perform all administrative acts, with the exception however of those which the Bishop has reserved to himself, or which by law require a special mandate of the Bishop.
