History edit

Early history edit

The first known bishop of Bari was said to have been Gervasius,[3] or Gerontius,[4] who, in 347, was present at the Council of Sardica. Gerontius, however, was actually from the city of Beroea in Macedonia,[5] and there is no record of Gervasius, or of Bari, at the Council of Sardica.

In 530 bishop Peter is said to have held the title of Metropolitan under Epiphanius, bishop of Constantinople & Ecumenical Patriarch, though there is no reliable record of this. In the 6th century the bishops of Apulia were directly subject to the Roman pontiff. It was not until after the Byzantine Patriarchs regained their control of Calabria and Apulia after the decree of Leo I that Bari became an archbishopric, and that situation changed when the Normans invaded Calabria and Apulia in the 11th century and returned the Churches of Calabria and Apulia to the Roman obedience.[6]

Middle Ages edit

In 780 bishop Leontius was present at the Second Council of Nicaea.[7]

In the ninth century the Saracens laid waste Apulia, destroyed the city of Canosa (Canusium) and captured Bari.[8] In 841, however, the Byzantine army reconquered Bari, and in 844 Bishop Angelarius, Bishop of Canosa, brought to Bari the relics of Rufinus, Memorus, and Sabinus of Canosa, which he had rescued from the ruins of Canosa. Pope Sergius II conferred on Angelarius the title of Bishop of the two dioceses of Bari and Canosa, a title which the archbishops of Bari retained up to 1986.[9] In 988 the Saracens descended upon Bari, depopulated the countryside and took men and women to Sicily as captives. In 991 Count Atto fought against the Saracens at Taranto, where he and many men of Bari fell. In 1002 Bari was besieged from 2 May until October, when they were rescued by Pietro Orseolo (II), the Doge of Venice.[10]

In 933 Pope John XI granted the bishops of Bari the use of the pallium. It seems that the bishops were dependent on the Eastern Ecumenical Patriarch until the 10th century. Archbishop Giovanni II (952) was able to withdraw from this influence, refusing to accept the prescriptions of the patriarch concerning liturgical points. All connection with the Eastern Churches was finally severed during the eleventh century, as Bari became a direct ecclesiastical dependency of Rome. So before the 10th c was over, the top ranking Orthodox episcopal dignitary throughout Byzantine Italy, became the archbishop of Melfi, in spite of Bari remaining the center of Byzantine authority in the area, as the seat of the katepano of Italia until the capture of the city by the Normans in 1071.

Ironically the archbishop of Bari that irreversibly distanced his see from Byzantium, was Byzantius (1025), who obtained from the pope the privilege of consecrating his suffragans.[citation needed] He also began the construction of the new cathedral, which was continued by his successors, Nicolo (1035), Andreas (1062), and Elias (1089) of the Benedictine Order.

By contrast to Bishop Bisanzio's Catholicism affections, Andreas, the archbishop from 1062 to at least 1066, kept an eye to the roots of his Faith, for example journeying to Constantinople, and at some point even converting to Judaism. Archbishop Andreas then fled to Muslim-dominated Egypt, where he eventually died in 1078.[11] Remarkably, the next archbishop Urso (1080–1089)[12] was captured by the Muslim forces and converted to Islam.[13]

In 1087 some sailors from Bari, on their return from the East, brought with them the relics of Saint Nicholas, bishop of Myra. Roger Borsa, the Norman duke of Apulia, built a church, the Basilica of San Nicola to house his remains. This church became the object of pilgrimage. In 1113, the Baresi rejected the rule of Constance, the wife of Bohemond I of Antioch and made the archbishop Riso their leader instead. In return Constance seized the cathedral of Canosa and only by intervention of Pope Paschal II the bishop was allowed back into his own cathedral. Upon reconciliation and bettering relations between Constance and Riso the bishop was killed.[14]

Modern Period edit

In the reorganization of the dioceses of the Kingdom of Naples, in accordance with the articles of the Concordat of 1818 between Pope Pius VII and King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies,[15] the diocese of Bitetto was suppressed and made a part of the Diocese of Bari. The suffragan sees under Bari historically were: the diocese of Conversano, diocese of Ruvo, and diocese of Bitonto.[16]

In the Apostolic Constitution Qui Beatissimo of 20 October 1980, Pope John Paul II suppressed the ecclesiastical province of Trani, and created the ecclesiastical province of Bari, with the Archbishop of Bari as its Metropolitan.[17] The province of Bari thus included: Bari, Conversano, Ruvo, Bitunto, Trani and Baroli (Barletta), Bisceglie and Andria, Gravina, Melphi, Giovinazzo and Terlizzi, Monopoli, and the prelatures of Altamura and Aquaviva. On 30 September 1986 the independent diocese of Bitunto was suppressed and united with the diocese of Bari, and its bishop, Andrea Mariano Magrassi (1982-1986), who had been Archbishop of Bari-Canosa since 1977, was named Archbishop of the united diocese of Bari-Bitonto.[18]

He was required by the Byzantine administration to make an ad limina visit to Constantinople, from which he returned in September 1042; he had just missed the accession of Patriarch Michael Cerularius (May 1043). He was deposed by Pope Leo IX at the synod of Siponto in April 1050 on a charge of simony. Whether he was restored to the See of Bari or not, surviving evidence is silent. In 1055 Nicolaus made another trip to Constantinople (Garruba, p. 119 note 10). He died in 1061. Ughelli, pp. 603–604. Garruba, pp. 109–121.

In 1063 a Council was held at Bari, under the presidency of Archbishop Arnolfo, the Papal Vicar of Pope Alexander. In 1064 Bishop Andreas held a synod in Bari. In 1067 the Norman Count Robert Guiscard began a siege of Bari, which lasted until 1070, after which the city was separated from the Byzantine Empire and the diocese from the oversight of the Patriarch of Constantinople (Garruba, p. 122).

the Council of Sardica Gerontius however was actually from the city of Beroea in Macedonia 5 and there is no record of Gervasius or of Bari at the Council of Sardica In 530 bishop Peter is said to have held the title of Metropolitan under Epiphanius bishop of Constantinople amp Ecumenical Patriarch though there is no reliable record of this In the 6th century the bishops of Apulia were directly subject to the Roman pontiff It was not until after the Byzantine Patriarchs regained their control of Calabria and Apulia after the decree of Leo I that Bari became an archbishopric and that situation changed when the Normans invaded Calabria and Apulia in the 11th century and returned the Churches of Calabria and Apulia to the Roman obedience 6 Middle Ages edit In 780 bishop Leontius was present at the Second Council of Nicaea 7 In the ninth century the Saracens laid waste Apulia destroyed the city of Canosa Canusium and captured Bari 8 In 841 however the Byzantine army reconquered Bari and in 844 Bishop Angelarius Bishop of Canosa brought to Bari the relics of Rufinus Memorus and Sabinus of Canosa which he had rescued from the ruins of Canosa Pope Sergius II conferred on Angelarius the title of Bishop of the two dioceses of Bari and Canosa a title which the archbishops of Bari retained up to 1986 9 In 988 the Saracens descended upon Bari depopulated the countryside and took men and women to Sicily as captives In 991 Count Atto fought against the Saracens at Taranto where he and many men of Bari fell In 1002 Bari was besieged from 2 May until October when they were rescued by Pietro Orseolo II the Doge of Venice 10 In 933 Pope John XI granted the bishops of Bari the use of the pallium It seems that the bishops were dependent on the Eastern Ecumenical Patriarch until the 10th century Archbishop Giovanni II 952 was able to withdraw from this influence refusing to accept the prescriptions of the patriarch concerning liturgical points All connection with the Eastern Churches was finally severed during the eleventh century as Bari became a direct ecclesiastical dependency of Rome So before the 10th c was over the top ranking Orthodox episcopal dignitary throughout Byzantine Italy became the archbishop of Melfi in spite of Bari remaining the center of Byzantine authority in the area as the seat of the katepano of Italia until the capture of the city by the Normans in 1071 Ironically the archbishop of Bari that irreversibly distanced his see from Byzantium was Byzantius 1025 who obtained from the pope the privilege of consecrating his suffragans citation needed He also began the construction of the new cathedral which was continued by his successors Nicolo 1035 Andreas 1062 and Elias 1089 of the Benedictine Order By contrast to Bishop Bisanzio s Catholicism affections Andreas the archbishop from 1062 to at least 1066 kept an eye to the roots of his Faith for example journeying to Constantinople and at some point even converting to Judaism Archbishop Andreas then fled to Muslim dominated Egypt where he eventually died in 1078 11 Remarkably the next archbishop Urso 1080 1089 12 was captured by the Muslim forces and converted to Islam 13 In 1087 some sailors from Bari on their return from the East brought with them the relics of Saint Nicholas bishop of Myra Roger Borsa the Norman duke of Apulia built a church the Basilica of San Nicola to house his remains This church became the object of pilgrimage In 1113 the Baresi rejected the rule of Constance the wife of Bohemond I of Antioch and made the archbishop Riso their leader instead In return Constance seized the cathedral of Canosa and only by intervention of Pope Paschal II the bishop was allowed back into his own cathedral Upon reconciliation and bettering relations between Constance and Riso the bishop was killed 14 Modern Period edit In the reorganization of the dioceses of the Kingdom of Naples in accordance with the articles of the Concordat of 1818 between Pope Pius VII and King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies 15 the diocese of Bitetto was suppressed and made a part of the Diocese of Bari The suffragan sees under Bari historically were the diocese of Conversano diocese of Ruvo and diocese of Bitonto 16 In the Apostolic Constitution Qui Beatissimo of 20 October 1980 Pope John Paul II suppressed the ecclesiastical province of Trani and created the ecclesiastical province of Bari with the Archbishop of Bari as its Metropolitan 17 The province of Bari thus included Bari Conversano Ruvo Bitunto Trani and Baroli Barletta Bisceglie and Andria Gravina Melphi Giovinazzo and Terlizzi Monopoli and the prelatures of Altamura and Aquaviva On 30 September 1986 the independent diocese of Bitunto was suppressed and united with the diocese of Bari and its bishop Andrea Mariano Magrassi 1982 1986 who had been Archbishop of Bari Canosa since 1977 was named Archbishop of the united diocese of Bari Bitonto 18 Bishops
