History
The whole of the island of Corsica belongs to the Diocese of Ajaccio (Latin: Dioecesis Adiacensis; French: Diocèse d'Ajaccio), a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in France erected in the 3rd century. Once a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Pisa, the diocese passed after the French Concordat of 1801 under the Archdiocese of Aix-en-Provence and Arles, and in 2002 it was attached to the archdiocesan province of Marseille. In 2012 the diocese counted one priest for every 3,636 Catholics.
