Exempt Catholic Dioceses (directly subject to the Holy See)
These (arch)dioceses are
exempt from belonging to any
ecclesiastical province, hence only the Vatican can exert the authority and coordinating functions normally falling to the Metropolitan Archbishop. They are grouped here geographically. Nevertheless, most belong to an
episcopal conference, in which case the more relevant mention is in its geographical region, as exempt dioceses as such do not have specific ties with each other.
Military Ordinariates are in pastoral charge of the troops of a state, but may be vested in a Metropolitan Archbishop, typically in the national capital.
Also generally exempt are the
apostolic prefectures and
apostolic vicariates, which tend to be temporary missionary dioceses, expected to become part of an ecclesiastical province when promoted to regular (arch- or suffragan) bishopric.
The Personal Ordinariates for former Anglicans (who left the
Anglican Communion for communion with the Holy See) are allowed to use the
Ordinariate Use, which is counted as a variant usage of the
Roman Rite (unlike the Eastern churches' five distinct rites).
Eastern Ordinariates are in pastoral charge of all Eastern Churches, of only those of Byzantine Rite or even just of the Armenian Rite, in one or more states of various Catholic churches without any proper diocese there, but are usually vested in a Roman Catholic Metropolitan Archbishop, often in the capital.
Disregarded are many episcopal or archiepiscopal prelates in the
Roman Curia, as their dicasteries don't constitute dioceses, although many posts there require by law or custom a bishop or an archbishop (usually titular), just as the Vatican's diplomatic posts in nearly every national capital.
Universal or transcontinental exempt dioceses (not counting minor dependencies)
The
personal prelature (a unique status) of
Opus Dei, with a cathedral see (Santa Maria della Pace ai Parioli) in Rome, ranking as bishopric.

Note:The
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) divides the non-exempt dioceses of the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) into fourteen geographical regions—termed "Bishops' Regions" for the
Latin Church provinces—and a fifteenth "region" that consists of the Eastern Catholic eparchies. These regions are not the canonical "ecclesiastical regions" described in canon 433 and 434, but are operated by an elected regional chairman.[2] However, the Ordinaries of Personal Ordinariates established under the auspices of
Anglicanorum Coetibus are members of their respective Bishops’ Conferences, and the USCCB lists the exempt
Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter as a part of Bishops’ Region X.
Ecclesiastical province of Portland in Oregon, comprising the states of
Idaho,
Montana and
Oregon, except for the parts of Yellowstone National Park in the states of Idaho and Montana.

Eastern Catholic Churches section (below) for their particular hierarchies.
Ordinariate for Eastern Catholics in Argentina, for all other Eastern particular churches (Byzantine and other rites), vested in the Latin Church Metropolitan Archbishop of capital Buenos Aires

The 23
Eastern Catholic Churches retain many Orthodox traditions, even in the hierarchic terminology, such as calling dioceses Eparchies and archdioceses Archeparchies.
Their respective diocesan structures overlap with and are partially parallel to each other, to the Latin Catholic church and to Orthodox churches, often 'sharing' a see. In addition, exempt, 'mixed' ordinariates for the Eastern churches without dioceses of their own are established in a few (European and Latin American) countries, directly subject to the Holy See.
They are presented grouped per ancient rite, or liturgical tradition. Following the name of each Church is given the nature of their
ecclesiastical polity; for instance, whether it is headed by a Patriarch, a Major Archbishop, a Metropolitan Archbishop, or has no unified structure and is instead composed of jurisdictions each individually subject to the Holy See.
Exempt, joint ordinariates for all the Eastern faithful
The more general adjective "Byzantine" is often used instead of "Ruthenian" in North America.
Although its origins are, as the name suggests, in
Ruthenia, (now part of Slovakia and Ukraine) its sole exempt diocese (i.e. immediately subject to the Holy See), covers the Czech Republic while all other dioceses depend from the US-based Metropolitan head of the church:

Holy See and its
Roman Congregation for the Eastern Churches):
The province was named after Ancient
Cilicia, the part of
Asia Minor (modern Turkey's Anatolia) where its see was originally located.
Armenian Catholic Patriarchate of Cilicia, the patriarchal see of the Armenian Catholic Church, with cathedral in
Beirut, Lebanon, as Metropolitan Archeparch, with four suffragan eparchies
Syro-Malabar eparchies
These are suffragans of Roman Catholic (
Latin Church) Indian Metropolitan archbishops, hence part of their mixed-rite provinces.
In addition to these jurisdictions, there are 2,100
titular sees (bishoprics, archbishoprics and metropolitanates).
This is a structural list to show the relationships of each
diocese to one another, grouped by
ecclesiastical province, within each
episcopal conference, within each continent or other geographical area.
