Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Diócesis de Toledo: A larger, historically prominent Spanish diocese operating parishes, formation institutions, and Cáritas under the same tax-allocation and Episcopal Conference framework. Comparable structure, broader territorial and financial scale.
• Cáritas Española: National umbrella of Cáritas diocesanal arms including Cáritas Diocesana Plasencia. Compares as the parent/membership body aggregating the diocese's charitable operations and representing it at the national level for grantmaking and partnerships.

Direct peers

• Diócesis de Ávila: A small Spanish diocese with similar territorial scale, rural parish network, and formation infrastructure. Operates under the same tax-allocation funding regime and faces analogous clergy-shortage and secularization dynamics in inland Spain.
• Diócesis de Salamanca: Spanish diocese in an adjacent Castile-and-León/Extremadura corridor with similar rural territorial scope, seminary, and pastoral formation programs. Comparable funding model and pastoral challenges to Plasencia.
• Archidiócesis de Mérida-Badajoz: Spanish archdiocese covering an adjacent region with the same operational model—parishes, seminary, charitable arm, and diocesan magazine. Comparable in its reliance on tax-allocation funding and parish-based service delivery.
• Diócesis de Coria-Cáceres: Neighboring diocese in the same Cáceres province of Extremadura with overlapping geography, parishes, and pastoral mission. It is the most directly comparable peer—same Spanish region, same Episcopal Conference affiliation, similar rural territorial scope.
• Archidiócesis de Santiago de Compostela: Another Spanish Catholic archdiocese with a comparable territorial governance structure over parishes, formation institutions, and Cáritas. It is directly comparable as a Spanish ecclesiastical governance body serving a distinct regional territory under the same Spanish Episcopal Conference framework.
• Diócesis de Badajoz: Another Extremadura diocese operating under the same Spanish Episcopal Conference with the same regional constraints (low population density, rural parishes, Cáritas charitable operations). Highly comparable in scale, funding profile, and pastoral challenges.

Others

• COPE (Cadena de Órganos de Comunicación Episcopal): National Catholic broadcasting network through which Diocese of Plasencia airs programming. Comparable as a media/communications partner delivering pastoral reach; classified as enabling rather than directly competitive.
• Conferencia Episcopal Española: The governing body under which Diocese of Plasencia operates (listed as parent in the data). It coordinates policy, liturgy, and joint programs across all Spanish dioceses; comparable as the institutional umbrella and strategic governance peer.
