Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence

August 29, 2023

The Archdiocese of Florence (Latin: Archidioecesis Florentina) is a metropolitan see of the Catholic Church in Italy.[1][2] It was traditionally founded in the 1st century, according to the 14th century chronicler Giovanni Villani.[3] The diocese was directly subordinate to the Holy See (Papacy) until 1420.[4]

Florence was elevated to the dignity of an archdiocese on May 10, 1419, by Pope Martin V.[5] The ecclesiastical province of Florence, of which the Archbishop of Florence in the metropolitan, includes the suffragan dioceses of Arezzo-Cortona-Sansepolcro, Fiesole, Pistoia, Prato, and San Miniato.

The seat of the Archbishop of Florence is Florence Cathedral, otherwise the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore. Since September 2008 Cardinal Giuseppe Betori has been the Archbishop.

History Edit

On 29 July 1322, Pope John XXII reserved to the pope the right to nominate as well as confirm the bishops of Florence.[6]

Due to heavy rains in the autumn and winter of 1346–1347, the crops were a failure, in wheat as well as in grapes and olives. By May 1347 the price of wheat in Florence had doubled. Arrangements were made to import grain from south Italy, Sicily and Africa, but the merchants of Siena and Genoa, who were contracted to transport the foodstuffs, kept half for their own cities. 94,000 inhabitants of Florence were dependent upon municipal charity, and some 4,000 were said to have died of starvation.[7]

Then, in April 1348, the pestilence known as the Black Death, struck Florence. By July nearly 100,000 people were dead. The historian Giovanni Villani estimated that nearly three out of every five persons in Florence and its neighborhood had been struck down. Ultimately he himself succumbed.[8] In his famous introduction to the Decameron, Giovanni Boccaccio repeats the number 100,000 and provides harrowing details of the breakdown of social connections and human feelings.[9]

Other episodes of pestilence in Florence occurred in 1325, 1340, 1344, 1363, 1509, 1522–1528, and 1630.[10]

Council of Florence Edit

In 1438, the Council of Basel was moved to Ferrara, and, in doing so, split into two factions, one remaining at Basel and electing their own pope, the Antipope Felix V. The faction that settled at Ferrara had to leave soon, however, due to an appearance of the plague. They were reconstituted at Florence by Pope Eugenius IV, and became the Council of Florence, which was transferred to Rome in 1443.[11]

Chapter and cathedral Edit

The current cathedral of Florence is dedicated to the Assumption of the Body of the Virgin Mary into Heaven. The cathedral was originally dedicated to S. John the Baptist, and occupied the former temple of Mars. When it became too small for the clergy and necessary rituals, a new cathedral, dedicated to S. Reparata, was built.[12]

In 816, the Emperor Louis the Pious held a council at Aix, at which it was ordered that Canons and Canonesses live together according to a set of rules (canons, regulae). In the Roman synod of Pope Eugene II of November 826, it was ordered that Canons live together in a cloister next to the church. In 876, the Council of Pavia decreed in Canon X that the bishops should enclose the Canons: uti episcopi in civitatibus suis proximum ecclesiae claustrum instituant, in quo ipsi cum clero secundum canonicam regulam Deo militent, et sacerdotes suos ad hoc constringant, ut ecclesiam non relinquant et alibi habitare praesumant.[13] The cathedral was administered by a Chapter, composed of five dignities and thirty-seven Canons. The dignities were: the Provost, the Archdeacon, the Archpriest, and the Dean.[14]

The diocese also had twelve collegiate churches, the most important of which is San Lorenzo.[15]

Diocesan synods Edit

A diocesan synod was an irregularly held, but important, meeting of the bishop of a diocese and his clergy. Its purpose was (1) to proclaim generally the various decrees already issued by the bishop; (2) to discuss and ratify measures on which the bishop chose to consult with his clergy; (3) to publish statutes and decrees of the diocesan synod, of the provincial synod, and of the Holy See.[16]

On 29 July 1322 Pope John XXII reserved to the pope the right to nominate as well as confirm the bishops of Florence 6 Due to heavy rains in the autumn and winter of 1346 1347 the crops were a failure in wheat as well as in grapes and olives By May 1347 the price of wheat in Florence had doubled Arrangements were made to import grain from south Italy Sicily and Africa but the merchants of Siena and Genoa who were contracted to transport the foodstuffs kept half for their own cities 94 000 inhabitants of Florence were dependent upon municipal charity and some 4 000 were said to have died of starvation 7 Then in April 1348 the pestilence known as the Black Death struck Florence By July nearly 100 000 people were dead The historian Giovanni Villani estimated that nearly three out of every five persons in Florence and its neighborhood had been struck down Ultimately he himself succumbed 8 In his famous introduction to the Decameron Giovanni Boccaccio repeats the number 100 000 and provides harrowing details of the breakdown of social connections and human feelings 9 Other episodes of pestilence in Florence occurred in 1325 1340 1344 1363 1509 1522 1528 and 1630 10 Council of Florence Edit In 1438 the Council of Basel was moved to Ferrara and in doing so split into two factions one remaining at Basel and electing their own pope the Antipope Felix V The faction that settled

11 Chapter and cathedral Edit The current cathedral of Florence is dedicated to the Assumption of the Body of the Virgin Mary into Heaven The cathedral was originally dedicated to S John the Baptist and occupied the former temple of Mars When it became too small for the clergy and necessary rituals a new cathedral dedicated to S Reparata was built 12 In 816 the Emperor Louis the Pious held a council at Aix at which it was ordered that Canons and Canonesses live together according to a set of rules canons regulae In the Roman synod of Pope Eugene II of November 826 it was ordered that Canons live together in a cloister next to the church In 876 the Council of Pavia decreed in Canon X that the bishops should enclose the Canons uti episcopi in civitatibus suis proximum ecclesiae claustrum instituant in quo ipsi cum clero secundum canonicam regulam Deo militent et sacerdotes suos ad hoc constringant ut ecclesiam non relinquant et alibi habitare praesumant 13 The cathedral was administered by a Chapter composed of five dignities and thirty seven Canons The dignities were the Provost the Archdeacon the Archpriest and the Dean 14 The diocese also had twelve collegiate churches the most important of which is San Lorenzo 15 Diocesan synods Edit A diocesan synod was an irregularly held but important meeting of the bishop of a diocese and his clergy Its purpose was 1 to proclaim generally the various decrees already issued by the bishop 2 to discuss and ratify measures on which the bishop chose to consult with his clergy 3 to publish statutes and decrees of the diocesan synod of the provincial synod and of the Holy See 16 1073 Raynerius 17 1139 Gottifredo degli Alberti 18 1310 13 August Antonio D Orso 1327 1 August Francesco di Silvestro 19 1343 Angelo
