520 |a This paper investigates the distribution of influence in determining policies and actions in eighty-five Roman Catholic dioceses. Based on the responses of over three thousand diocesan priests, the influence structures were centralized both in the actual and ideal situation for all dioceses. In a comparison with union locals, Leagues of Women Voters, and stations of a delivery company, the religious organizations were found to be the most centralized and to have the least amount of total influence operating within the system. The nature of the professionalism of the Roman Catholic diocesan priesthood and the impact of innovative reforms stemming from the Second Vatican Council are discussed in the light of these results.
