Ancient Diocese of Apt

January 01, 1970

The former French Catholic diocese of Apt, in southeast France, existed from the fourth century until the French Revolution. By the Concordat of 1801, it was suppressed, and its territory was divided between the diocese of Digne and the diocese of Avignon.[citation needed] Its seat was at Apt Cathedral, in Vaucluse.

History edit

The Chapter of the Cathedral of Apt was founded on 4 August 991 by Bishop Teudericus, in consultation with Prince Guillaume of Provence, Archbishop Annone of Arles, Archbishop Amalric of Aix, and Bishop Ingilram of Cavaillon, out of the clerics who served the cathedral.[1] The original charter establishes a corporation composed of a Provost and twelve canons.[2] By March 1247, dignities of the chapter are named in addition to the Provost: the Archdeacon, the Sacristan, the Precentor, and the Operarius.[3]

In 1790 the National Constituent Assembly conceived a plan to destroy the influence of the Estates throughout France and bring the whole country under central administration. This was to be done by the creation of some 83 or 84 'départements'. At the same time the Church was to be brought into subordination by abolishing the old ecclesiastical diocesan system and creating new dioceses which would have the same boundaries as the departments. The plan made more than fifty of the 135 Catholic dioceses in France redundant. The details were enacted by the Legislative Assembly, under the Civil Constitution of the Clergy (1790).[4] The diocese of Apt was one of the dioceses which were declared redundant and were suppressed. The abolition of Catholic dioceses was a violation of Canon Law, and the requirement that the clergy were to be obliged to take an oath to the Constitution in order to hold their jobs and collect their state-supplied salaries brought about a schism. New bishops and priests under the Constitutional system were to be elected by special 'Electors' in each department, who did not need to be Catholics or even Christians. That too was uncanonical and schismatic. The vows of monks and nuns were abolished by the National Assembly, and their property was seized by the State.

In 1801 First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte was preparing to end the religious confusion in France by entering into a Concordat with the Vatican. He had plans for the future, and he required a united France in order to carry them out successfully. In separate actions both he and Pius VII called on all bishops in France to submit their resignations. On November 29, 1801, by the bull Qui Christi Domini, Pope Pius VII suppressed all of the Roman Catholic dioceses in France, and immediately reinstituted them under papal authority. This act did away with whatever doubt or ambiguity might still exist as to a 'Constitutional Church' and 'Constitutional dioceses' in France.[5] Apt was not one of the dioceses that was restored.

The name of the diocese was revived, however, by Pope Benedict XVI in January 2009, as a titular see for bishops who have no diocese of their own.

Teudericus in consultation with Prince Guillaume of Provence Archbishop Annone of Arles Archbishop Amalric of Aix and Bishop Ingilram of Cavaillon out of the clerics who served the cathedral 1 The original charter establishes a corporation composed of a Provost and twelve canons 2 By March 1247 dignities of the chapter are named in addition to the Provost the Archdeacon the Sacristan the Precentor and the Operarius 3 In 1790 the National Constituent Assembly conceived a plan to destroy the influence of the Estates throughout France and bring the whole country under central administration This was to be done by the creation of some 83 or 84 departements At the same time the Church was to be brought into subordination by abolishing the old ecclesiastical diocesan system and creating new dioceses which would have the same boundaries as the departments The plan made more than fifty of the 135 Catholic dioceses in France redundant The details were enacted by the Legislative Assembly under the Civil Constitution of the Clergy 1790 4 The diocese of Apt was one of the dioceses which were declared redundant and were suppressed The abolition of Catholic dioceses was a violation of Canon Law and the requirement that the clergy were to be obliged to take an oath to the Constitution in order to hold their jobs and collect their state supplied salaries brought about a schism New bishops and priests under the Constitutional system were to be elected by special Electors in each department who did not need to be Catholics or even Christians That too was uncanonical and schismatic The vows of monks and nuns were abolished by the National Assembly and their property was seized by the State In 1801 First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte was preparing to end the religious confusion in France by entering into a Concordat with the Vatican He had plans for the future and he required a united France in order to carry them out successfully In separate actions both he and Pius VII called on all bishops in France to submit their resignations On November 29 1801 by the bull Qui Christi Domini Pope Pius VII suppressed all of the Roman Catholic dioceses in France and immediately reinstituted them under papal authority This act did away with whatever doubt or ambiguity might still exist as to a Constitutional Church and Constitutional dioceses in France 5 Apt was not one of the dioceses that was restored The name of the diocese was revived however by Pope Benedict XVI in January 2009 as a titular see for bishops who have no diocese of their own
