Diocese of Cerignola-Ascoli Satriano (in Italian)

Historically the Diocese of Ascoli Satriano was a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Benevento. In 1819, the diocese of Cerignola was established, and one and the same bishop held both dioceses, with the name Diocese of Ascoli Satriano e Cerignola.[1][2]

History edit

Ascoli edit

The town of Ascoli was captured by Norman adventurers in March 1041.[3] At the council of Melfi in 1043, William d'Hauteville, called William Iron Arm, became the lord of Ascoli.[4]

In 969, Ausculum Appulum (now Ascoli Satriano) appears as a city amongst the suffragan sees of Beneventum.[5] A bishop of Ascoli, deposed in 1068 by Pope Alexander II, is sometimes adduced, but he was a bishop of Ascoli Piceno, not Ascoli Satriano.[6] The first known bishop of Ascoli, however, is Risando, who consented to a donation to the monastery of Cava in 1107.

Ascoli: Chapter and cathedral edit

The medieval cathedral of Ascoli, which had been (re)built by King Roger of Sicily in 1111, was destroyed by the great earthquake of 1456, which also destroyed the citadel.[7]

The successor cathedral building was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and to S. Leo of Ordona.[8] Giacomo Leoncavallo dates this Leo to 105, making him the successor of the Greek Photinus, who had been sent by the Apostle Peter to evangelize Ordona, the diocese from which Ascoli allegedly descended after the town of Ordona was completely destroyed.[9] The cathedral was administered by a corporation called the Chapter, composed of six dignities (the Archdeacon, the Archpriest, the Cantor, two Primicerii, and the Treasurer) and seven canons (later fourteen).[10] In 1680, the city of Ascoli had a population of about 2,000 persons.[11] In 1737, the population was 3,000. The Chapter consisted of six dignities and fourteen canons.[12]

Cerignola edit

The fief of Cerignola fell to the royal treasury under Charles I of Sicily, in 1273, on the death of Simon the chancellor. In 1283, Bertrando Artus sold it to Ugone de Vicini, who in his turn sold it to Giovanni Pipino of Barletta, whose family still possessed the fief in 1320. In 1348, the Lord of Cerignano was Giacomo Arucci, whom Queen Joanna I of Naples appointed grand chamberlain. In 1398, Benedetto Azzaroli, a native of Cerignola and the Vicegerens in Apulia, purchased the castle of Cerignoli, and the king assigned him the territory as well. In 1417, the fief returned to the treasury, and Queen Joanna II of Naples sold it to Giovanni Caracciolo. In 1583, his descendant Caterina Caracciolo brought it as a dowry to Ettore Pignatelli. One or another branch of the Pignatelli family held the property until the mid-19th century, when feudalism was abolished.[13]

It has been suggested that Cerignola, on account of its relative importance, may have been formerly a diocese, but there is no evidence on the point. Since at least the 15th century, Cerignola has been outside the diocesan system (nullius diocesis), governed ecclesiastically by the archpriest of the collegiate church of S. Pietro in Carignola.[14] The archpriest[15] was a prelate, but not a bishop, and did not have the right to ordain or consecrate.[16] From 1255, the archpriest and his five canons swore an oath to the archbishop of Bari and Canosa.[17] The capitular church of Cerinola was subject to the jurisdiction of the Provost of Canosa. In a document of 30 April 1455, Pope Calixtus III uses the expression “Cidonola nullius dioc.” with reference to Cerignola.[18]

Cerignola (Dioecesis Ceriniolensis-Asculana Apuliae) was established as a diocese on 18 June 1819, by Pope Pius VII, in the bull "Quamquam Per Nuperrimam".[19] The pope was frank in his motives: increasing difficulties in financing the diocese of Ascoli, and the greater population and wealth of Cerignola.[20] Cerignola was to have one and only one bishop, who was to have all the rights of a bishop, including the power to summon a synod and require the attendance of all abbots and inferior prelates in his jurisdiction. His diocese was to be a suffragan of the archdiocese of Benevento.[21] The dioceses of Cerignola and Ascoli were to be united under one bishop, aeque personaliter, so that neither diocese was to be subject to the other.[22] The bishop who was appointed to both Cerignano and to Ascoli was authorized to appoint a separate Vicar General in each of his dioceses, and, when the bishopric became vacant, each cathedral Chapter was authorized to elect its own Vicar Capitular during the vacancy.[23]

The name Carinola (Carinolensis seu Calinensis) was established in 1968 as a titular see.[24] Cerignola in Apulia has no connection with Carinola, a comune (municipality) in the Province of Caserta in the region of Campania in Italy.

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.[25]

Bishop Francesco Antonio Punzi (1685–1728) held a diocesan synod in Ascoli on 26–28 October 1692.[26] Bishop Antonio Maria Nappi (1818–1830) presided over a diocesan synod held in Ascoli on 21–23 June 1824.[27] Bishop Nappi then held a diocesan synod for the diocese of Cerinola in the cathedral of Cerinola from 30 June to 2 July 1824.[28] Bishop Leonardo Todisco Grande (1849–1872) presided over a diocesan synod on 10–12 April 1853.[29] Bishop Antonio Sena presided over a diocesan synod in the cathedral at Ascoli on 25–27 June 1878.[30]

Change of metropolitan edit

On 30 April 1979, the diocese of Foggia was promoted, to become the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Foggia (Latin Name: Fodiana-Bovinensis). It was assigned as suffragan dioceses: Siponto, Troia, Asculum et Cerinola, Bovino, Lucera, and S. Severo. Asculum e Cerinola had up to that point been suffragans of the archdiocese of Benevento.[31]

Consolidation of 1986 edit

The Second Vatican Council (1962–1965), in order to ensure that all Catholics received proper spiritual attention, decreed the reorganization of the diocesan structure of Italy and the consolidation of small and struggling dioceses.[32]

On 18 February 1984, the Vatican and the Italian State signed a new and revised concordat. Based on the revisions, a set of Normae was issued on 15 November 1984, which was accompanied in the next year, on 3 June 1985, by enabling legislation. According to the agreement, the practice of having one bishop govern two separate dioceses at the same time, aeque personaliter, was abolished. Instead, the Vatican continued consultations which had begun under Pope John XXIII for the merging of small dioceses, especially those with personnel and financial problems, into one combined diocese.

On 30 September 1986, Pope John Paul II ordered that the dioceses of Ascolana Apuliae e Cerignola be merged into one diocese with one bishop, with the Latin title Dioecesis Ceriniolensis-Asculana Apuliae. The seat of the diocese was to be in Cerignola, and the cathedral of Cerignola was to serve as the cathedral of the merged dioceses. The cathedral in Ascolana was to become a co-cathedral, and the cathedral Chapter was to be a Capitulum Concathedralis. There was to be only one diocesan Tribunal, in Cerignola, and likewise one seminary, one College of Consultors, and one Priests' Council. The territory of the new diocese was to include the territory of the former diocese of Ascolana.[33]

Norman adventurers in March 1041 3 At the council of Melfi in 1043 William d Hauteville called William Iron Arm became the lord of Ascoli 4 In 969 Ausculum Appulum now Ascoli Satriano appears as a city amongst the suffragan sees of Beneventum 5 A bishop of Ascoli deposed in 1068 by Pope Alexander II is sometimes adduced but he was a bishop of Ascoli Piceno not Ascoli Satriano 6 The first known bishop of Ascoli however is Risando who consented to a donation to the monastery of Cava in 1107 Ascoli Chapter and cathedral edit The medieval cathedral of Ascoli which had been re built by King Roger of Sicily in 1111 was destroyed by the great earthquake of 1456 which also destroyed the citadel 7 The successor cathedral building was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and to S Leo of Ordona 8 Giacomo Leoncavallo dates this Leo to 105 making him the successor of the Greek Photinus who had been sent by the Apostle Peter to evangelize Ordona the diocese from which Ascoli allegedly descended after the town of Ordona was completely destroyed 9 The cathedral was administered by a corporation called the Chapter composed of six dignities the Archdeacon the Archpriest the Cantor two Primicerii and the Treasurer and seven canons later fourteen 10 In 1680 the city of Ascoli had a population of about 2 000 persons 11 In 1737 the population was 3 000 The Chapter consisted of six dignities and fourteen canons 12 Cerignola edit The fief of Cerignola fell to the royal treasury under Charles I of Sicily in 1273 on the death of Simon the chancellor In 1283 Bertrando Artus sold it to Ugone de Vicini who in his turn sold it to Giovanni Pipino of Barletta whose family still possessed the fief in 1320 In 1348 the Lord of Cerignano was Giacomo Arucci whom Queen Joanna I of Naples appointed grand chamberlain In 1398 Benedetto Azzaroli a native of Cerignola and the Vicegerens in Apulia purchased the castle of Cerignoli and the king assigned him the territory as well In 1417 the fief returned to the treasury and Queen Joanna II of Naples sold it to Giovanni Caracciolo In 1583 his descendant Caterina Caracciolo brought it as a dowry to Ettore Pignatelli One or another branch of the Pignatelli family held the property until the mid 19th century when feudalism was abolished 13 It has been suggested that Cerignola on account of its relative importance may have been formerly a diocese but there is no evidence on the point Since at least the 15th century Cerignola has been outside the diocesan system nullius diocesis governed ecclesiastically by the archpriest of the collegiate church of S Pietro in Carignola 14 The archpriest 15 was a prelate but not a bishop and did not have the right to ordain or consecrate 16 From 1255 the archpriest and his five canons swore an oath to the archbishop of Bari and Canosa 17 The capitular church of Cerinola was subject to the jurisdiction of the Provost of Canosa In a document of 30 April 1455 Pope Calixtus III uses the expression Cidonola nullius dioc with reference to Cerignola 18 Cerignola Dioecesis Ceriniolensis Asculana Apuliae was established as a diocese on 18 June 1819 by Pope Pius VII in the bull Quamquam Per Nuperrimam 19 The pope was frank in his motives increasing difficulties in financing the diocese of Ascoli and the greater population and wealth of Cerignola 20 Cerignola was to have one and only one bishop who was to have all the rights of a bishop including the power to summon a synod and require the attendance of all abbots and inferior prelates in his jurisdiction His diocese was to be a suffragan of the archdiocese of Benevento 21 The dioceses of Cerignola and Ascoli were to be united under one bishop aeque personaliter so that neither diocese was to be subject to the other 22 The bishop who was appointed to both Cerignano and to Ascoli was authorized to appoint a separate Vicar General in each of his dioceses and when the bishopric became vacant each cathedral Chapter was authorized to elect its own Vicar Capitular during the vacancy 23 The name Carinola Carinolensis seu Calinensis was established in 1968 as a titular see 24 Cerignola in Apulia has no connection with Carinola a comune municipality in the Province of Caserta in the region of Campania in Italy 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 25 Bishop Francesco Antonio Punzi 1685 1728 held a diocesan synod in Ascoli on 26 28 October 1692 26 Bishop Antonio Maria Nappi 1818 1830 presided over a diocesan synod held in Ascoli on 21 23 June 1824 27 Bishop Nappi then held a diocesan synod for the diocese of Cerinola in the cathedral of Cerinola from 30 June to 2 July 1824 28 Bishop Leonardo Todisco Grande 1849 1872 presided over a diocesan synod on 10 12 April 1853 29 Bishop Antonio Sena presided over a diocesan synod in the cathedral at Ascoli on 25 27 June 1878 30 Change of metropolitan edit On 30 April 1979 the diocese of Foggia was promoted to become the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Foggia Latin Name Fodiana Bovinensis It was assigned as suffragan dioceses Siponto Troia Asculum et Cerinola Bovino Lucera and S Severo Asculum e Cerinola had up to that point been suffragans of the archdiocese of Benevento 31 Consolidation of 1986 edit The Second Vatican Council 1962 1965 in order to ensure that all Catholics received proper spiritual attention decreed the reorganization of the diocesan structure of Italy and the consolidation of small and struggling dioceses 32 On 18 February 1984 the Vatican and the Italian State signed a new and revised concordat Based on the revisions a set of Normae was issued on 15 November 1984 which was accompanied in the next year on 3 June 1985 by enabling legislation According to the agreement the practice of having one bishop govern two separate dioceses at the same time aeque personaliter was abolished Instead the Vatican continued consultations which had begun under Pope John XXIII for the merging of small dioceses especially those with personnel and financial problems into one combined diocese On 30 September 1986 Pope John Paul II ordered that the dioceses of Ascolana Apuliae e Cerignola be merged into one diocese with one bishop with the Latin title Dioecesis Ceriniolensis Asculana Apuliae The seat of the diocese was to be in Cerignola and the cathedral of Cerignola was to serve as the cathedral of the merged dioceses The cathedral in Ascolana was to become a co cathedral and the cathedral Chapter was to be a Capitulum Concathedralis There was to be only one diocesan Tribunal in Cerignola and likewise one seminary one College of Consultors and one Priests Council The territory of the new diocese was to include the territory of the former diocese of Ascolana 33 Bishops editDiocese of Ascoli Satriano edit Erected 11th century Maurus 1059

by the good of souls a fitting revision of diocesan boundaries be undertaken prudently and as soon as possible This can be done by dividing dismembering or uniting them or by changing their boundaries or by determining a better place for the episcopal see or finally especially in the case of dioceses having larger cities by providing them with a new internal organization At the same time the natural population units of people together with the civil jurisdictions and social institutions that compose their organic structure should be preserved as far as possible as units For this reason
