Diocese of Gabula

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gabula diocese was a Latin diocese in Jabla ( Latakia Governorate , Syria ). The bishopric was founded in 1109 after the conquest of Jabla by the Crusaders as a Latin diocese, and it went under with the abandonment of the city by the Johanniter and possession by the Mamelukes in 1270. The title of bishop was awarded until the 14th century ( episcopus in partibus infidelium ).

history

In 1109 the crusader Tankred conquered the city of Jabla and incorporated it into the principality of Antioch . Soon after, a Latin diocese was founded in the city, which was now mostly called the Gabula diocese. It goes back to the ancient bishopric Gabala . The Bishop of Gabula was a direct suffragan of the Patriarch of Antioch. After the fall of Edessa in 1144, Bishop Hugo von Gabula traveled to Italy. There he reported to Pope Eugenius III in January 1145 . from the fall of Edessa or the county of Edessa and tried to convince him of the need for a new crusade. He also brought the story of the Priest King John with him to the West.
