Symposium Agenda
From a letter written by two bishops to address a symposium.
Nós Bispos, procuramos acolher a todos que nos procuram na Cúria Diocesana.
Diocesan Curia? Bishop's Palace? Is there a way to explain this in "lay" terms?

Diocesan Curia
Diocesan Curia
The diocesan curia consists of those institutions and persons which furnish assistance to the bishop in the governance of the entire diocese, especially in directing pastoral activity, in providing for the administration of the diocese and in exercising judicial power. The diocesan curia would include vicars general and episcopal vicars, the chancellor and other notaries, the tribunal personnel and the finance officer. It would also include all who participate in the overall administration of the diocese, especially those who direct diocesan departments such as education, social justice, liturgy, laity and other facets of the local church’s life. It is the diocesan bishop who appoints those who exercise offices within the diocesan curia and it is the bishop’s responsibility to see to it that all matters which concern the administration of the entire diocese are duly coordinated and arranged in such a manner that the good of the portion of God’s people entrusted to him is more suitably attained.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An Episcopal See is the office of the chief bishop of a particular church. See comes from the Latin word sedes, meaning seat, which refers to the episcopal throne (cathedra) located in the bishop's church (cathedral) in which the bishop sits as the principal symbol of his office. See is still used in that way but only in poetic contexts.
By extension, Episcopal See also refers to the local ordinary jurisdiction of that chief bishop (the diocese or particular church) and also the governmental bodies assisting the bishop (such as the curia).
With the four different meanings, things become rather confusing when sedes is used in canon law. An example of all four usages is the term Holy See, which in the Roman Catholic Church could mean the cathedra in the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the person who sits in that cathedra (the Pope), the governmental bodies which assist him in the exercise of his office (principally the Roman Curia), or the territory over which he is local ordinary (Rome), all depending on the context. This is not a problem when the Pope and the Roman Curia are both in Rome, but this presents a problem when they are in different places. Canon law eventually came up with a solution for this problem (see the article Holy See.)
