Exemption (Catholic canon law)
In the Catholic Church, an exemption is the full or partial release of an ecclesiastical person, corporation, or institution from the authority of the ecclesiastical superior next higher in rank. For example, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Strasbourg and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem are exempt, being directly subject to the Holy See.
See exempt dioceses for a list of exempt entities.
