In the catalyst abnormality diagnosis process, the abnormality diagnosis apparatus diagnoses that there is an abnormality in the exhaust gas control apparatus with the value of the first misfire counter being smaller when the stop process is performed than when the stop process is not performed during the operation of the internal combustion engine by the prescribed amount.
