Office of the Vicar General

The Vicar General is appointed by the bishop to assist him in the governance of the whole diocese. He reports to the bishop regularly and acts in concert with his intentions. (Canon 475 ff.)  Also, whenever the correct governance of a diocese requires it, the diocesan bishop can appoint one or more episcopal vicars, namely, those who in a specific part of the diocese or for certain types of affairs over the faithful possesses the same ordinary power which a vicar general has by universal law.
