The '''Archdiocese of Mexico City''', a [[Latin Rite]] [[Archdiocese]], is an active metropolitan see in [[Mexico]], encompassing parts of the [[Federal District]] and surrounding areas. Established as a diocese in 1530 by [[Pope Clement VII]] and elevated to an archdiocese in 1546, it is led by Cardinal Carlos Aguiar Retes as of 2018. As the head of the [[Ecclesiastical Province of Mexico]], it oversees three suffragan dioceses and is a primatial see, reflecting its central role in Mexican Catholicism. Notably, its [[Metropolitan Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary]] in [[Mexico City]], constructed between 1573 and 1813, is a historic landmark hosting millions annually for the feast of [[Our Lady of Guadalupe]]. | |||
