Yes, in some countries, for legal reasons, like the United States, the Church was set up in such a manner that the Bishop, as a corporate sole, owns every bit of real property in the diocese.

Does the bishop have authority over Catholic hospitials in his diocese?

He may, it depends. The bishop has authority over every piece of property owned by the Catholic Church in his diocese - actually, in the United States, he is listed as the sole owner as a corporate sole. He has authority over every Catholic in his diocese. So if the Catholic hospital is owned by a religious order or by the diocese, and has Catholic working there, he would have moral authority over them. If the diocese actually owns the hospital or the Bishop is on the Board of Directors, then he would have direct legal input. A lot depends on how the hospital is set up.


Does the Catholic Church own Safeway stores did they ever own Safeway stores?

No. First of all, there is no "Catholic Church," each individual diocese in the world is an individual "particular Church" and is headed by a Bishop. For instance, the Bishop of Rome (the Pope) technically "owns" the Vatican, while Timothy Cardinal Dolan in New York is the owner (in American legal terms) of every Church building, school, convent, etc. in the Archdiocese of New York. . Secondly, no individual diocese ever owned Safeway stores, they were founded by Sam Seelig in 1912. Same Seelig did not list a religion, but he merged or was bought out by the Skaggs family which is when they became Safeway. The Skaggs family was a relatively poor Baptist family.


Where does a Catholic diocese get their money?

All Catholic Parishes and Dioceses get the majority of their money from charitable collections or from bequests, endowments or gifts. In some cases Catholic organizations provide services to governmental agencies and like all service providers they charge a fee to deliver these services. Typically the money flows from parishioners to the parish via the annual or weekly collection. Each parish then tithes to the diocese. Throughout the year there are often special collections or fund raising events that go directly to specific causes at the diocesan level.

In West Virginia does the owner of a property's mineral right have to notify the property owner before he sales them?

If the mineral rights have been severed from the property and the owner of the mineral rights does not own the property then there is no need to notify the property owner. It's possible to own the mineral rights and not own the property. That would be called the "mineral estate". The owner of the property if different than the mineral owner would be the owner of the "property estate". Being the "mineral estate" owner gives you the same rights as being a "property owner". You can do as you wish with your mineral interests. Only time there is a need to notify the property owner is if any leasing will be going on. Hope this helps.
