The Lipari diocese dates back to the 6th century. The names of some bishops have been handed down through their participation in synods and councils. A bishop of Lipari named Basil was among the participants in the Second Council of Nicaea in 787 . The Church of St. Bartholomew was visited by St. Willibald around 729 on his long pilgrimage . In his report , which he dictated to Hugeburc von Heidenheim , he also describes a volcanic eruption.
After the Arab domination , the diocese was re-established as the Diocese of Lipari-Patti (see there history), which was founded in 1399 by Pope Boniface IX. was divided. The territory of the Aeolian Islands became the Diocese of Lipari, and the territory on the island of Sicily became the Diocese of Patti .
Modern times
In 1627 Lipari received Rome immediacy through Urban VIII . The Controversia Liparitana arose in 1711 from a dispute between the Bishop of Lipari and local authorities about the taxation of the sale of agricultural products from tithe income , which grew into a fundamental dispute between state and church over the Monarchia Sicula , which was based on the legation privilege of Urbans II. appointed for Roger I. It went u. a. about the exequatur for church acts. It was not until 1728 that the controversy could be resolved by a compromise between Pope Benedict XIII, which was unsatisfactory for the papal side . and the Austrian rule in Sicily at that time. The controversy had received lively attention in contemporary journalism.
From 1911 to 1921, Mons. Angelo Paino , then Bishop of Lipari, against the parish and claimed the pumice stone deposits and above all their economic income for the church. At the trial, Norman privileges were presented as evidence on both sides; Finally, the final decision was made on the basis of a Rogers II document from 1134 in favor of the municipal administration: the disputed lands were declared demanial property.
In 1986, the Diocese of Lipari and the Prelature of Santa Lucia del Mela were incorporated into the Archdiocese of Messina, which has since been called the Archdiocese of Messina-Lipari-Santa Lucia del Mela . The Cathedral of San Bartolomeo in Lipari has been a co-cathedral of the Archdiocese ever since. The last independent bishop of Lipari was Ignazio Cannavò (from 1977), who was also Archbishop of Messina (from 1977) and Bishop of the Prelature of Santa Lucia del Mela (from 1976).
