Diocese of the Catholic Church in Spain
The Diocese of Canarias or Diocese Canariense-Rubicense (Latin : Dioecesis Canariensis ) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church located in the Canary Islands in the ecclesiastical province of Seville in Spain.[1] [2] The dioceses includes the islands of Gran Canaria , Fuerteventura and Lanzarote (Oriental Province). However, it does not include the whole archipelago, since the Diocese of Tenerife (or Nivariense) includes the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife . For this reason, the use of the name of the archipelago is currently a very controversial topic in the Canary Islands.[3] [4] It has recently emerged between the society of Lanzarote the desire to recover the diocesan headquarters of San Marcial del Rubicón.[5] [6]
