Show SOME DIOCESES. Figures Showing That Our Own Are Not the Largest. (The Record, Louisville, Ky.) Our readers will be interested in learning how our leading dioceses in the United States compare, numerically, numerical-ly, with those of other countries. It will be seen from the following, which we have compiled for the year 1903, that our own are not "the largest," me giraiesi, iiie musi important, etc., as sometimes asserted. For convenience, con-venience, we do not distinguish between be-tween arch and suffragan dioceses. The equally large dioceses of France, Italy and Spain we do not here give, as we have not sufficiently correct statistics sta-tistics of them.
