The Bishop of Hong Kong is the head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong, who is responsible for looking after its spiritual and administrative needs. The Diocese of Hong Kong is nominally part of the ecclesiastical province of Canton and thus is a suffragan of that archdiocese. However, it has been exempt in practice since 1951, when the People's Republic of China severed diplomatic relations with the Holy See. As a Crown colony of the United Kingdom at the time, Hong Kong was unaffected by this and relations with the Vatican continued unabated. Consequently, the bishop of Hong Kong answers "directly to the Holy See". The current bishop is Stephen Chow.

  • 天主教香港教區最初本屬天主教澳門教區的管轄範圍;由於教廷傳信部為了擺脫葡萄牙保教權干預教會事務,因此教廷於1841年4月22日宣布把香港島及其周圍六里地方脫離天主教澳門教區管轄範圍而成立宗座監牧區——香港監牧區,並委任教廷傳信部駐澳門代表若瑟神父為首任宗座監牧。1874年11月7日,天主教香港監牧區被升格為香港代牧區,其管轄範圍也擴至廣東省的新安縣、归善县及海豐縣;同時委任高神父為首任宗座代牧。及至1946年,教廷把香港代牧區升格為一個聖統制主教區,成為現時的天主教香港教區;同日,香港代牧區第四任宗座代牧恩理覺被委任為首任天主教香港教區正權主教。 在天主教教義上,宗座監牧是由一名神父擔任管理宗座監牧區的最高負責人,而宗座監牧區是直屬於教廷傳信部的一個最雛型的;宗座代牧是由一名領銜主教擔任宗座代牧區的首牧,而宗座代牧區和宗座監牧區一樣都是由直屬於教廷傳信部。正權主教是天主教教區的首牧外,也被視為宗徒繼承的傳遞者,由聖神(Holy Spirit)挑選並透過人類即教宗在適當時委任,因而天主教香港教區的主教也不例外。被委任的天主教香港教區首牧都是作為基督及教宗委派於天主教香港教區的代表;他除了在教宗職權的領導下負責分擔天主教香港教區的職責外,還需負責牧靈及慈善等工作。 (zh)
