history

Coat of arms of the Lungro eparchy

In modern times, the Italo-Albanian Catholics of the Byzantine rite were under the jurisdiction of bishops of the Latin Church . Clemens XII presented them to you . by the Apostolic Constitution Superna dispositione of June 10, 1732, a titular bishop of the Byzantine rite as auxiliary bishop (without jurisdiction) who, among other things , had to carry out the priestly ordinations . Another Catholic-Byzantine auxiliary bishop served in Rome. Orthodox bishops officiated in Venice (for the Ecumenical Patriarchate), previously also in Agrigento (for the Archdiocese of Ohrid ).

Pope Benedict XV founded with the Apostolic Constitution Catholici fideles on February 13, 1919, the eparchy of territories ceded by the dioceses of Cassano all'Jonio and San Marco e Bisignano and the Archdiocese of Rossano . The Holy See established the Lungro Eparchy as the first Catholic diocese of the Byzantine Rite on Italian soil.
