The former French Catholic diocese of Riez existed at least from fifth century Gaul to the French Revolution. Its see was at Riez, in the modern department of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

History edit

According to an unsupported tradition, the establishment of the Church in this diocese is attributed to the first century and to Eusebius of Eudochius, companion of Lazarus, who had been raised from the dead by Christ himself.[1] A certain Prosper of Reggio of Reggio in Emilia (at the beginning of the fifth century) figures in the history of Riez and was perhaps its bishop.[2]

The first certainly known bishop of Riez is Maximus (433-60), who succeeded Honoratus as Abbot of Lérins and who, in November 439, held a synod at Riez with a view to regularizing the situation of the churches of Southern Gaul, particularly the competing ambitions of the metropolitans of Embrun and Arles. The synod was presided over by Archbishop Hilary of Arles.[3]

His successor, Faustus of Riez (461-93), also Abbot of Lérins, was noted for his writings against Predestinationists; it was to him that Sidonius Apollinaris dedicated his "Carmen Eucharisticum" in gratitude for hospitality received at Riez.[4]

Robert Ceneau, the pulpit orator (1530–32), afterwards Bishop of Avranches, and Cardinal Guido Bentivoglio (1622–25), who was nuncio in France and defender of French interests at Rome, were bishops there.[5]

In 1693 the number of residents in Riez was approximately 6,000, many of whom were Protestants. They were all subjects of the temporal power of the Bishop of Riez.[6] The entire diocese contained 52 named localities, and 60 parishes (including 5 rural priories).[7] In 1751, 3,000 faithful Christians (Catholics) are reported, and the diocese contained 54 parishes.[8]

This synod is not dated, and its acts quoted by Flodoard, do not appear in collections of church councils and synods. Louis Duchesne has noticed that the acts quoted by Flodoard are actually borrowed from the Council of Clichy in 627. De Clercq, p. 298, remarks, "Hic ergo omittendum videtur."

He was below the canonical age for consecration as a bishop, and, as long as Pope Pius V lived he was not granted his bulls. Finally, on 19 September 1572, Pope Gregory XIII granted him his bulls, in which he is called Doctor in utroque iure (Civil and Canon Law) and sub-deacon. He was never consecrated however. In 1575 he was revealed to be a Huguenot himself, though he managed to hold on to the diocese until he handed it over to Elzéar de Rastel. D'Ormson married in 1583.

He was named Bishop of Riez by King Louis XIV in 1685, but did not receive his bulls until 1693, due to the rupture in diplomatic relations between France and the Pope under Pope Innocent XI and Pope Alexander VIII. Desmarets was consecrated in Paris on 24 January 1694 by his cousin, Jacques-Nicolas Colbert, Archbishop of Rouen.
