Abstract

The territorial organization of the Portuguese ecclesiastical structure underwent several developments in the 20th century, one of its last achievements being the constitution of the diocese of Viana do Castelo in 1977. However, this process had not only support, but also opposition, in such a way that it was interrupted. In 1977 some changes allowed the Holy See to canonically constitute the new diocese that corresponded, in practice, to the district of Viana do Castelo, thus fulfilling the recommendations of the II Vatican Council which had recommended that ecclesiastical circumscriptions correspond, when possible, to civil circumscriptions.
