The Roman Catholic Diocese of Kottapuram (Latin: Kottapuramen(sis)) is a diocese located in the city of Kottapuram in the Ecclesiastical province of Verapoly in India. The diocese is currently a vacant see (sede vacante), as Bishop Dr. Francis Kallarakal was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI in February 2010 as Metropolitan Archbishop of Verapoly, India (the Diocese of Kottapuram is in its province). The previous Archbishop had died. A diocese is the district or see under the supervision of a bishop, it is divided into parishes. An archdiocese is more significant than a diocese. An archdiocese is presided over by an archbishop whose see may have or had importance due to size or historical significance. The archbishop may have metropolitan authority over any other (then 'suffragan') bishops and their dioceses within his archdiocese.
