Roman Catholic Diocese of Todi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roman Catholic Diocese of Todi

The Italian Catholic diocese of Todi existed until 1986, when it was united into the diocese of Orvieto-Todi.[1][2] Up until that point, the diocese had always been directly dependent on the Holy See.

History

Summarize
Perspective

During the Gothic War the city of Todi withstood Totila during a long and severe siege. The Lombard failed to capture it, and Todi and Perugia remained the two chief fortresses defending the passage through the duchy from Rome to the Exarchate. It was included in Pepin's donation to the Holy See.

Other bishops are:

Chapter and cathedral

The cathedral was also a parish church.

The Chapter of the cathedral of the Annunciation in Todi consisted of two dignities (the Provost and the Archdeacon) and twelve Canons, each with a prebend (assigned income). In addition there were eight mansionarii and other clergy.[3] In 1673 and in 1746 there were two dignities and twelve Canons.[4]

Synods

Bishop Angelo Cesi (1566–1606) presided over a diocesan synod in 1576, and published its constitutions, as well as those of earlier synods, including one of Bishop Andreas de Aptis (1356–1373).[5]

A diocesan synod was held by Bishop Pietro Maria Bichi (1658–1673) on 22–24 May 1662,[6] and another on 16 April 1668. Bishop Giuseppe Pianetti (1673–1709) held a diocesan synod in Todi on 27—29 April 1678.[7]

Bishop Francesco Maria Gazzoli (1805–1848) held a diocesan synod on 1–2 May 1818.[8]

Reorganization of dioceses

In a decree of the Second Vatican Council, it was recommended that dioceses be reorganized to take into account modern developments.[9] Initiated under Pope John XXIII and continued by his successors, a project aimed to reduce the number of dioceses in Italy and adjust their boundaries in response to modern population shifts and a shortage of clergy. The need for reorganization became more pressing following modifications to the Concordat between the Italian State and the Holy See on 18 February 1984, which were formalized in a law enacted on 3 June 1985.

On 27 September 1986, Pope John Paul II approved the changes, which were subsequently enacted by a decree of the Sacred Congregation of Bishops on 30 September 1986. As a result, the Diocese of Todi was merged with the Diocese of Orvieto to form the Diocese of Orvieto-Todi (Dioecesis Urbevetana-Tudertina), with Orvieto designated as the diocesan seat. The former cathedral in Todi was granted the honorary title of co-cathedral, and its chapter was renamed the Capitulum Concathedralis. The reorganization established a single episcopal curia, seminary, and ecclesiastical tribunal, with all clergy becoming part of the newly formed diocese. The territorial jurisdiction of the diocese encompassed the combined areas of the former dioceses.
