RIO CUARTO, Diocese of. - City and diocese of the province of Cordoba (Argentina).

It has an area of 54,300 sq km with a population of 300,000 inhabitants, of whom 295,000 are Catholics. The clergy of the diocese is composed of 30 diocesan priests and 36 regulars distributed among 25 parishes. There are 10 male religious communities and 18 female ones (Ann. Pont. 1952, p. 339).

Pope Pius XI, with the apostolic constitution Nobili Argentinae nationis, of 20 April 1934, created the diocese of R. C. by dismemberment from that of Cordoba, raising its church of the B. M. V. Immaculate to the rank and dignity of cathedral. It is a suffragan of Cordoba.
