∙ 9y agoNo, what is commonly called "The Catholic Church" is a collection of individual Catholic Churches (in Catholicism, they are known as "particular Churches", also known as individual dioceses) each ruled by a Bishop. Under the laws in the United States, all dioceses in the United States are incorporated. Thus there would be a corporation called the Archdiocese of Boston, etc. But there is no one, united corporation that would encompass the "Catholic Church" as a whole. That is known as the Mystical Body of Christ.
