The diocese of Grenoble-Vienne ( Latin Dioecesis Gratianopolitana-Viennensis Allobrogum , French Diocèse de Grenoble-Vienne ) is a Roman Catholic diocese in France . It now includes the Isère department .

history

The diocese was established in the 4th century; the first bishop known by name was a certain Domninus who attended the Synod of Aquileia in 381 . Around the middle of the 5th century it was incorporated into the ecclesiastical province of Vienne .

In 1779 parts of the diocese were ceded to the newly founded diocese of Chambéry . In the course of the restructuring in France as a result of the French Revolution , the Concordat of 1801 expanded to include the area of ​​the former diocese of Die and parts of the dissolved diocese of Gap and the archdiocese of Vienne. In 1822 the diocese of Gap was re-established, so that the territory of the diocese of Grenoble has since covered that of the Isère department.
