Roman Catholic archdiocese in Spain
The Military Archbishopric of Spain (Spanish: Arzobispado Castrense de España) is a military ordinariate of the Roman Catholic Church. Immediately subject to the Holy See, it provides pastoral care to Roman Catholics serving in the Spanish Armed Forces and their families.
Cathedral Church of the Armed Forces, in Madrid.
The first military vicariate-general, Carlos de Borja y Centellas, was appointed in 1705, but the position lapsed in abeyance in 1930. Twenty years later, a military vicariate was re-established on 5 August 1950, and a few months later a military vicar was appointed on 12 December 1950. It was elevated to a military ordinariate on 21 July 1986 and is headed by an archbishop. The Episcopal seat is located at the Cathedral of the Armed Forces (Catedral de las Fuerzas Armadas) in Madrid, Spain.[citation needed]
