List of titular churches
In the Catholic Church, a member of the clergy who is created a cardinal is assigned a titular church in Rome, Italy. These are churches in the city, under the Diocese of Rome, which serve as honorary designations for cardinals that symbolise their relationship to the diocese and to its bishop, the pope. According to the Code of Canon Law, a cardinal may assist the titular church through counsel or through patronage, though "he has no power of governance over it, and he should not for any reason interfere in matters concerning the administration of its good, or its discipline, or the service of the church".
There are two ranks of titular churches: titles and deaconries. A title is a titular church that is assigned to a cardinal priest, whereas a deaconry is normally assigned to a cardinal deacon. If a cardinal priest or a cardinal deacon is later appointed a cardinal bishop, he is typically transferred from his titular church to the vacant title of a suburbicarian diocese in the vicinity of Rome. Patriarchs of Eastern Catholic Churches who are created cardinal bishops are not assigned titles of suburbicarian dioceses.
A cardinal may request that he be transferred to another titular church in a consistory; in addition, when a cardinal deacon opts to become a cardinal priest, he may request either that his deaconry be elevated pro hac vice to a title or that he be transferred from his deaconry to a vacant title. Other churches in Rome can also be established as new titular churches. Occasionally, a titular church may be held in commendam by a cardinal who has been transferred to a different titular church or to a suburbicarian diocese.
there are 233 current titular churches, 165 of which are titles and 68 of which are deaconries. Additionally, there are 25 historical titular churches that have been suppressed and 7 suburbicarian dioceses. Currently, 20 titular churches are vacant. The statuses of 59 titular churches as basilicas are also indicated.

Suburbicarian dioceses
There are seven suburbicarian dioceses, in the vicinity of Rome, the titles of which are assigned to the six cardinal bishops. These do not form part of the Diocese of Rome, but are separate dioceses that are its suffragans, with territory generally lying outside the city's boundaries. Suburbicarian dioceses are not titular churches per se, but are similar in function, in that they serve as honorary and titular assignments for cardinals. Since 1914, the title of [|Ostia] has been assigned ex officio to the dean of the College of Cardinals, in addition to that of his first suburbicarian diocese when appointed a cardinal bishop. The respective patriarchates of the three current cardinal bishops who are Eastern Catholic patriarchs are considered to be their titles.The locations given in the table below are those of the respective diocesan cathedrals. there are no vacant titles of suburbicarian dioceses.
