The bishop
The register holds no ordinary for this see. Where a chair is vacant the vacancy is the fact, and it is recorded rather than filled in. See the bishop.
The cathedral
Catedral Castrense Jesucristo Redentor, Bogota stands in Colombia, the church that holds the cathedra from which this see takes its name.
