Newer development

The number of territorial abbeys is reduced as planned since the Second Vatican Council by the Holy See. Goal is the unbundling of monastic and diocesan duties. In the Catholic Church there is now the world yet 11 territorial abbeys.

In 2002 the territory of the traditional Italian Benedictine Subiaco slammed the surrounding dioceses except for a small residual. The term, Territorial Abbey ' is here since only one title with purely symbolic and historical value. So, for example, the territory of the Territorial Abbey Subiaco limited only still on the abbey itself

The Roman Territorial Abbey of San Paolo fuori le Mura OSB had to give up the 2005 supervised by their pastoral territory. The former Territorial Abbey Abbey has since become a regular. On the list of latest Spin- territorial abbeys are more ancient monasteries, including the Italian abbeys of Monte Oliveto, Monte Vergine and Holy Trinity di Cava de'Tirreni.

The Territorial Abbey Claraval in Brazil was disbanded in December 2002 and the " diocesan " territory incorporated into the diocese Guaxupé. The Cistercian abbey is as normal monastery on.
