RESISTENCIA, DIOCESE OF. - City and diocese in the territory of Chaco and Formosa in Argentina.

It has an area of 172,173 sq. km. with a population of 583,000 inhabitants, of whom 375,000 are Catholics; it has 24 parishes served by 11 diocesan priests and 60 regulars; it has 22 male religious communities and 10 female ones (Ann. Pont. 1952, p. 337).

The diocese was created by Pius XII with the apostolic constitution Ecclesiarum omnium, of 3 June 1939, by dismemberment from the archdiocese of S. Fé, of which it is a suffragan. The parish church, dedicated to St. Ferdinand, has been elevated to the rank and dignity of cathedral.
