My wife attends Mass at the local Polish Mission, which is owned by the Order of priests fulfilling the spiritual needs of Polish speaking immigrants.
The Mission does participate in a division of its Sunday collection with the Diocese Office, and promotes the annual pledge to the Diocese Fund.
Likewise a Catholic university lies within the Diocese, but the lay faculty answers to the Jesuit Order - who also own the property.

Those priests at the Polish mission cannot function unless given faculties by the local bishop.
Bishops, like it or not, are the ecclesiastical authorities in a diocese
The bishop could also withdraw faculties for the local Catholic university, and it would cease to become a "Catholic university."
Canon Law.
