(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In the Roman empire since the 1st century AD, a diocese was a city district or part of a province.Since the time of Diocletian (end of the 3rd century), it was a large administrative unit constituted by up to 16 provinces. The Empire was separated into 12 dioceses (later 15). The diocese was governed by praetor vicarius who was subjected to the praefectus.
Between the 4th and 6th centuries, Rome became more and more Christian. At the same time, the older administrative structure began to crumble. The senatorial aristocracy, especially in the provinces, remained a source of local authority. By this time, however, that authority was often vested in the spiritual office of bishop. It is therefore of little surprise that, as the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches began to define their administrative structure, they relied on the older Roman terminology to describe administrative units and hierarchy. Thus today in the Roman Catholic and some Protestant churches, a diocese is an administrative territorial unit governed by a bishop. Once the diocese became more associated with the office of bishop, the alternative bishopric also came into use. It is also called a see. The Eastern Orthodox church uses the term eparchy for their administrative units.
There are currently about 569 Catholic archdioceses and 2014 dioceses in the world.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Often the term Holy See is defined as the office or jurisdiction of the Pope. It may also be defined as the head of the Roman Catholic church, including the Pope. By this latter definition, the Holy See continues to exist when the papacy is vacant after the death or resignation of the Pope. During such vacancies the Catholic Church and the Vatican City are governed oligarchically by the College of Cardinals. The Holy See is recognized as having legal personality under international law.The Holy See is legally distinguishable from the Vatican City, which is a territory over which the Holy See has sovereignty: some treaties the Holy See is a party to in itself, other treaties it is a party to in respect of the Vatican City.
However, the foreign embassies are credited to the Holy See and not to the Vatican State.
Generally, the Holy See as a party to a treaty reflects the interests of the Roman Catholic church, while Vatican City is generally only party to treaties which are not of general significance, e.g., treaties regarding co-operation with Italy.
Apart from Rome the episcopal see of Mainz is also called a holy see.

The Patriarch of Constantinople is the Ecumenical Patriarch, the "first among equals" in the Eastern Orthodox Communion. In this capacity he serves as spiritual leader and primary spokesperson for the Communion (hence "first"), but has no official authority over the Patriarchs or over the other fifteen of the sixteen autocephalous Eastern Orthodox churches (hence "among equals").His titular position is Patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Constantinople, one of the sixteen autocephalous Churches, and he is one of the original four Eastern Orthodox patriarchs. In his role as head of the Orthodox Church of Constantinople, he additionally holds the title Archbishop of Constantinople and New Rome. He should not be confused with the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople.
As Constantine the Great had made Byzantium "New Rome", its bishop, once the humble suffragan of Heraclea, thought that he should become second only, if not almost equal, to the Bishop of Old Rome. For many centuries the popes opposed this ambition, not because any one thought of disputing their first place, but because they were unwilling to change the old order of the hierarchy. In 381 the First Council of Constantinople declared that: "The Bishop of Constantinople shall have the primacy of honour after the Bishop of Rome, because it is New Rome" (can. iii).
The popes (Damasus and Gregory the Great) refused to confirm this canon. Nevertheless Constantinople grew by favour of the Byzantine emperor, whose centralizing policy found a ready help in the authority of his court bishop.
The Council of Chalcedon in 451 established Constantinople as a patriarchate with jurisdiction over Asia Minor and Thrace and gave it the second place after Rome (can. xxviii). Pope Leo I refused to admit this canon, which was made in the absence of his legates; for centuries Rome still refused to give the second place to Constantinople. It was not until the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 that the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople was allowed this place; in 1439 the Council of Florence gave it to the Greek patriarch. Nevertheless in the East the wish of the Byzantine emperor was powerful enough to obtain recognition for his patriarch; from Chalcedon we must count Constantinople as practically, if not legally, the second patriarchate.
The current Patriarch is Patriarch Bartholomew I.

For the other meaning of the word "see", see episcopal see.
Vision or seeing is one of the senses, consisting of the ability to detect light and interpret (see) it as the perception known as sight or naked eye vision. Something is invisible if within one's line of sight; yet, unseen.
There is disagreement as to whether or not this constitutes one, two or even three distinct senses. Some people make a distinction between "black and white" vision and the perception of colour, and others point out that rod vision uses different physical detectors on the retina from cone vision. Some argue that the perception of depth also constitutes a sense, but others argue that this is really cognition (that is, post-sensory) function derived from having stereoscopic vision (two eyes) and is not a sensory perception as such.
The eye is the light-sensitive organ that performs the first stages of vision. The eye's retina performs the first stages of visual perception processing, with the remaining stages of visual perception occurring in the optic nerve and the visual cortex of the brain.
