The '''Roman Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese of Goa and Daman''' ({{lang-la|Archidioecesis Goanae et Damanensis}}, {{lang-gom|Gõy ani Damanv Mha-Dhormprant}}, {{lang-pt|Arquidiocese de Goa e Damão}}) encompasses the [[Goa state]] and the [[Damaon territory]] in the [[Konkan region]], by the west [[coast of India]]. The [[ecclesiastical province]] of Goa and [[Damaon]] includes a [[suffragan diocese]], the [[Sindhudurg Diocese]] that comprises the [[Malvani language|Malvani]] areas of (central Konkan). The Archbishop of Goa also holds the titles of Primate of the East and Patriarch of the [[East Indies]], also hold the title of the [[East Syriac Rite|Syrian Catholic]] Primate of the [[Archdiocese of Cranganore]]. The beginnings lie in the ''[[Padroado]]'' system of [[Portuguese Goa and Damaon]], in the early 1900s the [[primatial see]] was transferred back to the [[Sacred Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples]], as the ''Padroado'' system of the [[Indo-Portuguese]] era was being dismantled.

It is the oldest [[bishopric]] of the [[Latin Rite]] of worship in terms of activity in the [[East Indies]], with its origins linked to the [[Portuguese discoveries]], and their subsequent arrival at the [[St Mary's islands]] and [[Calicut]], on the coast of the [[Malabar region]].

The current Metropolitan Archbishop and Patriarch of the East Indies is [[Filipe Neri António Sebastião do Rosário Ferrão|Filipe Neri Ferrão]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gcatholic.org/dioceses/diocese/eind0.htm# |title=Titular Patriarchal See of East Indies |access-date=2017-05-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170508104320/http://www.gcatholic.org/dioceses/diocese/eind0.htm# |archive-date=2017-05-08 |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Special churches ==
[[File:Sé de Santa Catarina.jpg|thumb|Cathedral of St Catherine, Goa]]
* The archbishop's cathedral see, the [[Se Cathedral]], or Sé Catedral de Santa Catarina, is in the city of [[Old Goa]], [[Goa]].
*The diocese also has a [[minor basilica]], the [[Basilica of Bom Jesus]] in [[Old Goa]]. The [[World Heritage Site]] composed of the [[Churches and Convents of Goa]] falls under its ecclesiastical jurisdiction. {{Citation needed|date=May 2017}}
* The former Cathedral of Bom Jesus of the now-suppressed Diocese of Daman in [[Daman, Daman and Diu|Daman]]

== Territory and statistics ==
The archdiocese consists of the [[Goa|State of Goa]] and the [[union territory]] of [[Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu]] in India.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dgoae.html |title=Archdiocese of Goa e Damão |website=[[Catholic-Hierarchy.org]] |date=2014 |access-date=2008-07-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080518044155/http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dgoae.html# |archive-date=2008-05-18 |url-status=live }}</ref> As of 2014, it pastorally served 641,231 Catholics (31.0% of 2,067,200 total) on 4,194 km2 in [[List of parishes of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Goa and Daman|167 parishes]] and 124 missions with 715 priests (410 diocesan, 305 religious), 1,503 lay religious (538 brothers, 965 [[Religious sister (Catholic)|sisters]]) and 80 seminarians.

== Ecclesiastical province ==
The Metropolitan has a single [[suffragan]] see:

* [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Sindhudurg]], which includes the districts of [[Sindhudurg]], [[Ratnagiri district|Ratnagiri]] and [[Kolhapur]] in [[Maharashtra]] state, except the St. Francis Xavier parish in the city of Kolhapur. It was created on 5 July 2005, when its territory was split off from the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Poona]]. It was a suffragan diocese of the [[Archdiocese of Bombay]] until 25 November 2006, when [[Pope Benedict XVI]] transferred it to the newly established metropolitan province of [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Goa e Damão|Goa and Damão]]. Between 1975 and 2006 the Archbishop of Goa and Damão, having no suffragan, was not entitled to wear the [[pallium]].{{citation needed|date=August 2018}}

== History ==
After the [[Portuguese conquest of Goa]] by [[Afonso de Albuquerque]] in 1510, King [[Manuel I of Portugal|Manuel I]] built a chapel there in honour of [[Catherine of Alexandria|St. Catherine]], named patron of the city in 1518. Christians in the region were given into the charge of {{ILL|Dom Duarte Nunes|pt}} OP, the [[Franciscan]] [[titular bishop|bishop]] of the [[titular see]] of Laodicea. He governed until 1527 when he was succeeded by Dom {{ILL|Fernando Vaqueiro|pt}} OFM, the [[Franciscan]] titular bishop of Aureopolis, from 1529 to 1535.<ref name=conselho>Conselho Ultramarino, p.455</ref>

King [[John III of Portugal]] commissioned the construction of a [[cathedral]] in Goa and [[Pope Clement VII]] founded the Diocese of Goa on 31 January 1533, with the [[papal bull]] titled ''Romani Pontificis Circumspectio''.<ref name=conselho /><ref>{{cite book|author=Stephen Neill|title=A History of Christianity in India: The Beginnings to AD 1707|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=2004|page=117|isbn=0521548853}}</ref> The jurisdiction of the new diocese at the time stretched from the [[Cape of Good Hope]] to [[China]] and [[Japan]].<ref>Gabriel Saldanha, p 356</ref> On 3 November 1534 the creation of the diocese was confirmed by the ''{{ILL|Aequum reputamus|pt}}'' bull of [[Pope Paul III]], since [[Clement VII]]'s death had prevented the publication of its establishment. The diocese was originally a [[suffragan]] of the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Funchal|diocese of Funchal]].

At the request of King [[Sebastian of Portugal|Sebastian]], on 4 February 1557 [[Pope Paul IV]] separated the Goan diocese from the [[ecclesiastical province]] of [[Lisbon]] and raised it to a metropolitan archdiocese, with the suffragan dioceses of [[Diocese of Cochin|Cochin]] and [[Diocese of Malacca|Malacca]].<ref name=conselho /><ref>Associação Marítima e Colonial, p. 314</ref> In the course of time other dioceses were included in the metropolitan area of Goa: [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Macau|Macau]], [[Diocese of Funai|Funai]] in [[Japan]], [[Kodungallur#Colonial period|Cranganore]] and [[Diocese of Saint Thomas of Mylapore|Meliapor]] in India, [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Nanjing|Nanjing]] and [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Beijing|Beijing]] in [[China]], and [[Roman Catholicism in Mozambique|Mozambique]] in Africa. Daman in India is still included in Goa.<ref>Associação Marítima e Colonial, p. 314-315</ref>

With the brief of 13 December 1572 Pope [[Gregory XIII]] granted the archbishop of Goa the title of Primate of the East.<ref>Instituto Histórico, Geographico e Ethnographico do Brasil, p. 171-172</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.apostolicnunciatureindia.com/DiocesesofIndiaDispFull.aspx?DID=241# |title=Apostolic Nunciature, India & Nepal |access-date=2018-08-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180730202701/http://www.apostolicnunciatureindia.com/DiocesesofIndiaDispFull.aspx?DID=241# |archive-date=2018-07-30 |url-status=live }}</ref> This is because the diocese of Goa was the first diocese of the [[Padroado]] in Asia. By 1857, Goa had gained several suffragan dioceses in the Indian subcontinent but retained only [[Macau]] and [[Mozambique]] outside that geographical area.<ref>Gabriel Saldanha, p.361</ref>

On 23 January 1886, Pope [[Leo XIII]], through the bull ''Humanae Salutis Auctor'', invested the archbishop of Goa with the honorary title of [[Patriarch of the East Indies]]. With the same bull, the diocese of Daman was established, to which was attached the title of the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cranganore|Archdiocese of Cranganore]], that had been suppressed by the 24 April 1838 ''Multa praeclare'' decree of [[Pope Gregory XVI]]. These provisions had already been made in the concordat between the Holy See and Portugal on 23 June 1886.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.vatican.va/archive/ass/documents/ASS-19-1886-87-ocr.pdf# |title=Concordat between the Holy See and Portugal, 1886 |access-date=2018-08-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180205082238/https://www.vatican.va/archive/ass/documents/ASS-19-1886-87-ocr.pdf# |archive-date=2018-02-05 |url-status=live }}</ref> The honorary title of patriarch recognised the primacy of honour of the archbishop of Goa among all the bishops of the East and the historical vastness of his jurisdiction, at a time when his jurisdiction was reduced. He also enjoyed the privilege of presiding over all the synods of the East Indies

When the diocese of Daman was dissolved on 1 May 1928 with ''Inter Apostolicam'', the title of Cranganore was attached to the Goa archdiocese. Thus, the archbishop of Goa came to be the titular archbishop of Cranganore.
[[File:Goan Catholic Distribution (India).svg|left|thumb|187x187px|Goan Catholics distribution across India.]]

In 1940, [[Dili]] (in [[East Timor]]) was elevated to a diocese and placed as suffragan under Goa; Mozambique was in the same year spun off from the metropolitan archdiocese. In 1953 the archdiocese of Goa lost the suffragan dioceses of Cochin, Meliampor and Canara following the ecclesiastical territorial reorganisation of the new Indian state.

On 19 December 1961, the [[Dominion of India|Indian Union]] annexed the territories of Goa, and Daman and Diu.<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/place/Daman-and-Diu Daman and Diu] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170801155903/https://www.britannica.com/place/Daman-and-Diu# |date=2017-08-01 }}, Britannica.com]</ref> The following year the Patriarch Archbishop [[José Vieira Alvernaz]] left the territory. In 1965, the religious jurisdiction of Diu was entrusted to the Missionary Society of St [[Francis Xavier]]. The complexities of annexing Portuguese-ruled territories meant that the Vatican did not accept the resignation of the last patriarch until 1975.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}} The dioceses of Dili and Macau were also de-linked from the ecclesiastical province and placed directly under the Holy See.

With the ''Quoniam Archdioecesi'' bull of 30 January 1978, Pope Paul VI appointed Bishop [[Raul Nicolau Gonçalves]] as Archbishop of Goa and Daman, also titled ''[[ad honorem]]'' [[Patriarch of the East Indies]]. By ''Inter Capital'' of 12 December 2003, [[Pope John Paul II]] appointed Rev. [[Filipe Neri Ferrao]] Archbishop of Goa and Daman, also granting him the honorary patriarch title.

The Archdiocese of Goa and Daman remained—until 25 November 2006—as just an archdiocese, since the archdiocese had had no suffragan dioceses since 1 January 1975, when Macao and Dili were separated from it. On 25 November 2006, Pope [[Benedict XVI]] with ''Cum Christi Evangelii'' made the diocese of Sindhudurg a suffragan of Goa and Daman, together with which it formed a new ecclesiastical province.

The civil district of [[North Kanara]] (Uttara Kannada) was part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Goa and Daman till 19 September 1953 when the New [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Belgaum]] was erected. Two civil districts, Belgaum and North Kanara, were separated from the Archdiocese of Goa and two other civil districts, Dharwad and Bijapur, were taken from the Diocese of Poona to form the Diocese of Belgaum.

* 31 January 1533: Archdiocese of Goa established from the Diocese of Funchal
* 4 February 1557: Diocese of Cochin established as a suffragan diocese
* 4 February 1558: Established suffragan diocese – Diocese of Malacca
* 4 February 1558: Promoted to Metropolitan Archdiocese of Goa
* 1 May 1928: Renamed Metropolitan Archdiocese of Goa and Daman
* 1 January 1976: Demoted to Archdiocese of Goa and Daman
