The term “Apostolic See” can refer to any see founded by one of the Apostles, but, when used with the definite article, it is used in the Catholic Church to refer specifically to the see of the Bishop of Rome, whom the Catholic Church sees as successor of Saint Peter, the leader of the apostles.

'+Geographical/Regional usage+':

'+Description+': The Apostolic See is the supreme interpreter of the Salesian Constitutions (C. 192), and also approves them as well as the deliberations of a general chapter (C. 148). The Rector Major is the representative of the Apostolic see for the UPS and vice versa (R. 105). The task of dealing with the Apostolic see is ordinarily entrusted to a procurator general who is appointed by the RM with the consent of his council and remains in office ad nutum.

'+Context (examples of use)+':

'+Other notes+': The Pope governs the Catholic Church through the Roman Curia (Vatican Civil Service). The Roman Curia consists of a number of departments (often called dicasteries) that administer church affairs. Those departments consist of the Secretariat of State, nine Congregations, three Tribunals, now twelve Pontifical Councils (with the recent addition of a PC for New Evangelization), and seven Pontifical Commissions. The Secretariat of State, under the Cardinal Secretary of State, directs and coordinates the Curia.

Although the Holy See is closely associated with the Vatican City State, the independent territory over which the Holy See is sovereign, they are two international identities. The Holy See is not the same sovereign entity as the Vatican City State, which only came into existence in 1929 with the Lateran Treaty. The Holy See dates back to early Christian times. Ambassadors are officially accredited to the Holy See and not the Vatican City State, and Papal representatives to states and international organizations are recognised as representing the Holy See, not the Vatican City State. The Holy See as legal person bears many similarities with the crown in Christian monarchies.

The Holy See (''Sancta Sedes'' in Latin) is the Episcopal jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in Rome, in which its Bishop is commonly known as the Pope. It is the pre-eminent Episcopal see of the Catholic Church, forming the central government of the Church. As such, diplomatically, and in other spheres, the Holy See acts and speaks for the whole Catholic Church. It is also recognised by other subjects of international law as a sovereign juridical entity under international law, headed by the Pope, with which diplomatic relations can be maintained.
