Noun
diocese, plural dioceses- in Christian religions, a region administered by a bishop
...As of January 2009, there are 630 Roman Catholic archdioceses (including 13 patriarchates, 2 catholicates, 536 metropolitan archdioceses, 79 single archdioceses) and 2,167 dioceses in the world. After the Reformation, the Church of England continued and developed the existing diocesan structure in England. This continued throughout the Anglican Communion. In the Eastern Catholic Churches (which recognise papal authority and so are in communion with the Roman Catholic Church), the equivalent unit is called an eparchy; the Orthodox Church calls its dioceses metropoleis in the Greek tradition, Slavic tradition calls their dioceses eparchies.

probing intrusive questions
but can someone actually let
me know what questions they
infact do ask you if you want

The Vatican has blind eye to the sexual abuse done by the Bishop and the priests of this Diocese of Naval, Biliran, in the Philippines. The Holy See says nothing.... So it must be the norm... So here the challenge - investigate!
