Titular Archdiocese of Nazareth

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Archdiocese of Nazareth ( Italian arcidiocesi di Nazareth , Latin Archidioecesis Nazarena ) is a titular archbishopric of the Roman Catholic Church .

It goes back to a lost bishopric in the ancient city of the same name , which at the time was in the Roman province of Palestine secunda .

Archdiocese

The Archdiocese of Nazareth resided in Beisan until 1109 . His suffragans included:

With the conquest of Acon , the last seat of the archbishop in the Holy Land, in 1291 the archbishopric no longer existed. Nevertheless, archbishops were still appointed, who finally had their seat in Barletta, Italy, from the end of the 14th century . Thus Nazareth had become an Italian archdiocese. In 1455 the Archdiocese of Nazareth was merged with the Diocese of Canne . In 1536 the diocese of Monteverde was attached to the Archdiocese of Nazareth . The last bishop was Josephus (Giuseppe) Mormile, who died in 1801. The seat has been vacant since then. With the Bull De utiliori in 1818 the area of ​​the Archdiocese was attached to the Archdiocese of Trani . In 1828 the Archbishop of Trani was also awarded the title of Archbishop of Nazareth by the Bull Multis quidem . Thus, the Archbishops Gaetano Maria de Franci (1828-1847) and Giuseppe de 'Bianchi Dottula (1848-1860) carried the title of Archbishop of Trani and Nazareth and Bisceglie . The Archdiocese of Trani and Nazareth and Bisceglie was on April 21, 1860 by Pope Pius IX. Renamed with the Apostolic Constitution Imperscrutabili Dei in the Archdiocese of Trani and Barletta, so that the Archdiocese of Nazareth has since been a purely titular Archdiocese.
