Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lucca

April 11, 2024

Not to be confused with Archdiocese of Lecce.

The Archdiocese of Lucca (Latin: Archidioecesis Lucensis) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in Italy. The diocese dates back as a diocese to at least the 4th century; it became an archdiocese in 1726. The seat of the archbishop is in Lucca, in the cathedral of S. Martino. It is not a metropolitan see, has no suffragan dioceses, and is immediately subject (exempt) to the Holy See (Papacy).[1][2]

History edit

During the Gothic Wars the city of Lucca was besieged and taken by Totila in 550. Hoping for assistance from the Franks, the Lucchesi obstinately resisted the attack of Narses, surrendering only after a siege of seven months (553). It later fell into the hands of the Lombards, was thenceforward a place of great importance, and became the favourite seat of the Marquesses of Tuscany.

In 981 Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor bestowed on its bishop civil jurisdiction over the entire diocesan territory; but in 1081 Emperor Henry IV made it a free city and conferred other favours upon it, especially in the way of trade. This was the origin of the Republic of Lucca. Lucca was generally on the side of the pope against the emperor, and hence joined the League of S. Ginesio (1197).[3]

Mythical history edit

There is a legend that the Gospel was preached at Lucca by a certain St. Paulinus, said to be a disciple of St. Peter, and the discovery in 1197 of a stone, recording the deposition of the relics of Paulinus, a holy martyr, apparently confirmed this belief. On the stone, however, St. Paulinus is not called Bishop of Lucca, nor is there any allusion to his having lived in Apostolic times.[4] His hagiography belongs to the 13th century.[5] His existence is unknown to all documents and monuments down to the end of the 12th century, and no church or chapel in the diocese was dedicated to him.[6] At the Council of Rimini (359), another Paulinus, Bishop of Lucca, was said to be present. Perhaps the legend of Paulinus, the follower of S. Peter, arose through a repetition of this Paulinus.[7] But no records of a council of Rimini in 359 survive. The claim of a second Paulinus or of his presence at Rimini cannot be tested.[8]

Earliest bishops edit

The first bishop of certain date is Maximus, present at the Council of Sardica (343). Remarkable for sanctity and miracles was St. Fridianus (Frediano) (560–588), son of Ultonius, King of Ireland, or perhaps of a king of Ulster (Ultonia), of whom in his "Dialogues" (III, 10) Gregory the Great relates a miracle.[9]

In 739, during the episcopate of Walprandus, the legendary Richard, King of the Angles and father of the Saints Willibald, Winnibald, and Walburga, died at Lucca and was buried in the church of S. Frediano. Under Bishop Giovanni (c. 781–800) it is said that the Volto Santo was brought to Lucca from Palestine; carbon dating puts the work c. 780–880.[10]

Chapter and cathedrals edit

The original cathedral of the diocese of Lucca was the church of S. Reparata. At the beginning of the 8th century, the seat of the bishop was transferred to S. Martino, and S. Reparata became a collegiate church staffed by canons.[11] On 6 October 1070, Pope Alexander II and 22 bishops and abbots consecrated the new cathedral of S. Martin in Lucca.[12] The cathedral was administered and staffed by a corporation called the Chapter, composed of four dignities (Archpriest, Archdeacon, Primicerius, and Abbot) and fourteen canons, two of whom served as the Theologus (preacher) and Penitentiary. They enjoyed the privilege of using the mitre and a gold pectoral cross.[13]

On 7 May 1120, Pope Calixtus II granted the use of the pallium to Bishop Benedictus (1118–1128) and his successors.[14] Pope Lucius III granted the bishops the right to have the primatial cross carried before them in procession in their own diocese on 12 November 1181.[15]

Suppression of the diocese of Lucca edit

Garfagna was a river valley and a group of communes located north-northeast of the city of Lucca. Ecclesiastically, it was subject to the bishops of Lucca, but its civil administration was part of the Holy Roman Empire and subject to the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, who administered it through an imperial vicar.[16] In 1222, constant hostility between Lucca and Pisa broke out into open warfare. In 1228, Pope Gregory IX intervened in 1228, and ordered the parties to make peace.[17]

The nobles and barons of Garfagnana, taking an opportunity to free themselves from Lucca, swore oaths of allegiance to Pope Gregory IX on 23 November 1228. Pope Gregory appointed a papal vicar to administer the territory, in place of the imperial vicar. In 1229, Gregory wrote to Bishop Opizzo of Lucca, warning him not to molest the people of the Garfagnana.[18] When war broke out between Lucca and Pisa in 1230, not for the first time, the people of Garfagnana took advantage of the war, to rise in revolt to free themselves from the Lucchese. The Lucchese, despite the support of Pope Gregory for Pisa and his intervention in the Garfagnana, were not minded to allow the revolt of Garfagnana to go unpunished.[19] Their principal attack was on the castle and town of Loppia, the capital of the imperial territory, which they destroyed.[20]

On 8 April 1231, Pope Gregory IX wrote a letter to the people, prelates, and clergy of Lucca, announcing that, due to the enormous crimes (propter enormes civium Lucanorum culpas) of the citizens, he had decided to remove the bishop of Lucca and suppress the diocese.[21] He appointed the bishop of Florence, then the archbishop of Pisa, then again the bishop of Florence, to be the representative of the pope in exerecising episcopal jurisdiction in the city and diocese of Lucca.[22] The diocese was restored, and a new bishop, Guercio Tebalducci, was appointed, by Gregory IX on 12 December 1236.[23]

Gregory died on 22 August 1241. The Garfagnana was back under the control of Frederick II and the comune of Lucca by December 1242.[24]

Early 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 and of the Holy See.[25]

On 12 March 1253, Bishop Guercio (1236–1255) presided over a diocesan synod in the cathedral of S. Martino in Lucca.[26] Bishop Henricus (1300–1330) held a diocesan synod in 1300.[27] A diocesan synod was held by Bishop Berengarius (1349–1368) in the episcopal palace in Lucca on 14 October 1351. He held a second synod on 20 October 1366, in the cathedral.[28] Bishop Paolo Gabrielli (1374–1380) held a diocesan synod on 13 November 1374.[29] Bishop Nicolò Guinigi (1394-1404; 1432–1435) held two diocesan synods, one on 12 August 1404, and another on 16 September 1414.[30]

Schism edit

Pope Gregory XII (Roman Obedience) fled from Rome and the power of Paolo Orsini on 9 August 1407. He travelled to Viterbo, to prepare for a congress which was to be held in Savona. In September, he and the papal court moved to Siena, where he held meetings with representatives of the French and of Pope Benedict XIII.

In 1408 Pope Gregory went to Lucca from Siena, to attempt to arrange a meeting with Pope Benedict XIII (Avignon Obedience), to settle the schism. On 9 May 1408, while still in Lucca, Pope Gregory created fourn new cardinals, two of whom were his nephews.[31] This was in apparent violation of the electoral capitulations signed and sworn to at his election in 1406.[32] Eight of his cardinals removed themselves from Lucca in anger and fear, beginning on 11 May, and made for Pisa. The cardinals held a formal meeting at Livorno on 29 June, denouncing Gregory XII and calling for a church council. In fear of the French fleet, which held the city of Genoa, Gregory abandoned the announced plan to meet in Savona, and returned to Siena on 14 July 1408.[33] At the Council of Pisa on 5 June 1409, Gregory and Benedict were deposed.

Territorial losses edit

In 1519, the parish church of S. Maria Maggiore in Pescia was created a Provostship, and its Provost was assigned 60 parishes of the diocese of Lucca as his ordinary jurisdiction, nullius dioecesis, independent of the bishop of Lucca and immediately subject to the Holy See (Papacy). On 17 March 1727, Pope Benedict XIII made Pescia the seat of a diocese, separating its territory entirely from the diocese of Lucca, and appointed the first bishop. Bartolomeo Pucci, the Bishop of San Sepolcro, was transferred to the diocese of Pescia on 20 September 1728. [34]

Post-Tridentine synods edit

Bishop Alessandro Guidiccioni the Elder (1549–1600) held a diocesan synod in the cathedral of S. Martino in Lucca on 12 November 1564, following the decrees laid down by the Council of Trent, which had adjourned in the previous year. In his Summons, the bishop laid out in detail the precise expectations of a synod. His second synod was held on 4 March 1574, in which the establishment of a diocesan seminary was approved.[35] On 15 September 1579, Bishop Guidiccioni held another synod, in the main hall of the episcopal palace.[36] BIshop Alessandro Guidiccioni the Younger (1600–1637) held a diocesan synod on 25–27 November 1625.[37] In 1646, Bishop Giovanni Battista Rainoldi (1645–1650) held a diocesan synod.[38] On 10 April 1653, Bishop Pietro Rota (1650–1657) presided over a diocesan synod.[39] Cardinal Girolamo Buonvisi (1657–1677) held a diocesan synod on 30 May–1 June 1661.[40] On 16–18 April 1681, Cardinal Giulio Spinola (1677–1690 resigned) presided over a diocesan synod.[41] Cardinal Francesco Buonvisi (1690–1704) held a diocesan synod in the cathedral of S. Martino on 28–30 April 1700.[42]

At the beginning of August 1719, Bishop Genesio Calchi (1714–1723) sent out the usual summonses, announcing that there would be a general diocesan synod in Lucca, to open on 18 September 1719. This raised an immediate outcry on the part of the clergy of the Garfagnana, who were required to attend, as part of the ecclesiastical territory of the diocese of Lucca, even though they were part of the political territory then under the control of the Duke of Mantua. Complaints to the duke led to a complaint on the part of the duke to the pope, requesting that the synod not be held. Pope Clement XI wrote to the bishop of Lucca on 10 September 1719, pointing out the complex difficulties, and requesting the bishop to find a way to cancel, or at least postpone, the synod. On the 14th, the bishop wrote to the Council of State of Lucca, asking that they see that there was calm so that his synod could be held, but the Council sided with the pope in requesting the bishop to suspend the holding of the synod.[43]

Bishop Fabio Colloredo (1731–1742) held a synod on 15–17 May 1736.[44]

Territorial losses edit

On 5 December 1622, Pope Gregory XV established the diocese of San Miniato on territory which had formed part of the diocese of Lucca.[45]

Interdict edit

In the 1640s, the Republic of Lucca was a subject of great annoyance to the Papacy. Lucca allowed German protestants to reside in the city, spreading heresy; it violated legitimate exemptions of the clergy from laws and regulations; and it considered it its right to tax commercial transactions in goods, particularly grain. Bishop Guidiccioni in his advanced age was not able to make progress in enforcing the church's demands. On his death, Cardinal Marco Antonio Franciotti was appointed bishop, in the expectation that a native of Lucca would succeed in restraining the government. He failed. On 1 September 1639, therefore, Pope Urban VIII ordered Franciotti to leave the city, and he appointed an Apostolic Commissary to deal with the Republic, Bishop Cesare Raccagni of Città di Castello, who also failed. The dreaded interdict was pronounced by the pope on 2 April 1640. The clergy obeyed the pope, but the Republic trusted to the support of the Grand Duke of Tuscany and the King of Spain. Only after protracted negotiations was the interdict lifted, on 31 March 1643.[46] Cardinal Franciotti was appointed papal legate in the March of Ancona (May 1640 to December 1642). At the conclusion of his term, he moved to Rome, where he provided shelter for his brothers, who had been driven out of Lucca.[47]

On 11 September 1726, by the bull "Inscrutabili divinae", Pope Benedict XIII raised the diocese of Lucca to the status of a metropolitan archdiocese.[48]

Territorial losses edit

On 18 July 1789, at the request of the government of Florence, Pope Pius VI transferred 18 parishes from the diocese of Lucca to the diocese of Pisa, including the Vicariates of Barga and of Pietrasanta, and transferred 7 parishes from the diocese of Pisa to the diocese of Lucca.[49] In April 1826, Pope Leo XII, basing his decision on a bull of Pope Pius VII of 3 July 1822, removed the Priorato of Castelnuovo in the valley of the Garfagnana, which included 40 parishes, from the diocese of Lucca, as well as several churches in the Vicariate of Castiglione.[50]

Territorial gains edit

In the changes following the Second Vatican Council, the Vatican again revisited the centuries-long problem of the Garfagnana.[51] After extensive consultations, and with authority granted them by Pope John Paul II, the Vatican Congregation of Bishops issued the decree, "Pastoralis Collocatio", on 5 September 1992, transferring 106 parishes of the Garfagnana from the diocese of Massa (Massensis-Apuana) to the diocese of Lucca. Massa-Cararra had been created in 1822.[52]

Parishes edit

A document survives dated 1260, giving a complete list of the parishes and churches in the diocese of Lucca, with their annual incomes.[130] A list of the parishes and churches in 1736 is given in the appendix of the Synodus Lucana of that year.[131] The archdiocese, as of 2008, has a total of 362 parishes, all of which fall within the (civil) region of Tuscany. 354 are in the Province of Lucca and 8 in the Province of Pistoia.[132] For a listing of parishes by province and commune see List of parishes of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lucca.

obstinately resisted the attack of Narses surrendering only after a siege of seven months 553 It later fell into the hands of the Lombards was thenceforward a place of great importance and became the favourite seat of the Marquesses of Tuscany In 981 Otto II Holy Roman Emperor bestowed on its bishop civil jurisdiction over the entire diocesan territory but in 1081 Emperor Henry IV made it a free city and conferred other favours upon it especially in the way of trade This was the origin of the Republic of Lucca Lucca was generally on the side of the pope against the emperor and hence joined the League of S Ginesio 1197 3 Mythical history edit There is a legend that the Gospel was preached at Lucca by a certain St Paulinus said to be a disciple of St Peter and the discovery in 1197 of a stone recording the deposition of the relics of Paulinus a holy martyr apparently confirmed this belief On the stone however St Paulinus is not called Bishop of Lucca nor is there any allusion to his having lived in Apostolic times 4 His hagiography belongs to the 13th century 5 His existence is unknown to all documents and monuments down to the end of the 12th century and no church or chapel in the diocese was dedicated to him 6 At the Council of Rimini 359 another Paulinus Bishop of Lucca was said to be present Perhaps the legend of Paulinus the follower of S Peter arose through a repetition of this Paulinus 7 But no records of a council of Rimini in 359 survive The claim of a second Paulinus or of his presence at Rimini cannot be tested 8 Earliest bishops edit The first bishop of certain date is Maximus present at the Council of Sardica 343 Remarkable for sanctity and miracles was St Fridianus Frediano 560 588 son of Ultonius King of Ireland or perhaps of a king of Ulster Ultonia of whom in his Dialogues III 10 Gregory the Great relates a miracle 9 In 739 during the episcopate of Walprandus the legendary Richard King of the Angles and father of the Saints Willibald Winnibald and Walburga died at Lucca and was buried in the church of S Frediano Under Bishop Giovanni c 781 800 it is said that the Volto Santo was brought to Lucca from Palestine carbon dating puts the work c 780 880 10 Chapter and cathedrals edit The original cathedral of the diocese of Lucca was the church of S Reparata At the beginning of the 8th century the seat of the bishop was transferred to S Martino and S Reparata became a collegiate church staffed by canons 11 On 6 October 1070 Pope Alexander II and 22 bishops and abbots consecrated the new cathedral of S Martin in Lucca 12 The cathedral was administered and staffed by a corporation called the Chapter composed of four dignities Archpriest Archdeacon Primicerius and Abbot and fourteen canons two of whom served as the Theologus preacher and Penitentiary They enjoyed the privilege of using the mitre and a gold pectoral cross 13 On 7 May 1120 Pope Calixtus II granted the use of the pallium to Bishop Benedictus 1118 1128 and his successors 14 Pope Lucius III granted the bishops the right to have the primatial cross carried before them in procession in their own diocese on 12 November 1181 15 Suppression of the diocese of Lucca edit Garfagna was a river valley and a group of communes located north northeast of the city of Lucca Ecclesiastically it was subject to the bishops of Lucca but its civil administration was part of the Holy Roman Empire and subject to the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II who administered it through an imperial vicar 16 In 1222 constant hostility between Lucca and Pisa broke out into open warfare In 1228 Pope Gregory IX intervened in 1228 and ordered the parties to make peace 17 The nobles and barons of Garfagnana taking an opportunity to free themselves from Lucca swore oaths of allegiance to Pope Gregory IX on 23 November 1228 Pope Gregory appointed a papal vicar to administer the territory in place of the imperial vicar In 1229 Gregory wrote to Bishop Opizzo of Lucca warning him not to molest the people of the Garfagnana 18 When war broke out between Lucca and Pisa in 1230 not for the first time the people of Garfagnana took advantage of the war to rise in revolt to free themselves from the Lucchese The Lucchese despite the support of Pope Gregory for Pisa and his intervention in the Garfagnana were not minded to allow the revolt of Garfagnana to go unpunished 19 Their principal attack was on the castle and town of Loppia the capital of the imperial territory which they destroyed 20 On 8 April 1231 Pope Gregory IX wrote a letter to the people prelates and clergy of Lucca announcing that due to the enormous crimes propter enormes civium Lucanorum culpas of the citizens he had decided to remove the bishop of Lucca and suppress the diocese 21 He appointed the bishop of Florence then the archbishop of Pisa then again the bishop of Florence to be the representative of the pope in exerecising episcopal jurisdiction in the city and diocese of Lucca 22 The diocese was restored and a new bishop Guercio Tebalducci was appointed by Gregory IX on 12 December 1236 23 Gregory died on 22 August 1241 The Garfagnana was back under the control of Frederick II and the comune of Lucca by December 1242 24 Early 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 and of the Holy See 25 On 12 March 1253 Bishop Guercio 1236 1255 presided over a diocesan synod in the cathedral of S Martino in Lucca 26 Bishop Henricus 1300 1330 held a diocesan synod in 1300 27 A diocesan synod was held by Bishop Berengarius 1349 1368 in the episcopal palace in Lucca on 14 October 1351 He held a second synod on 20 October 1366 in the cathedral 28 Bishop Paolo Gabrielli 1374 1380 held a diocesan synod on 13 November 1374 29 Bishop Nicolo Guinigi 1394 1404 1432 1435 held two diocesan synods one on 12 August 1404 and another on 16 September 1414 30 Schism edit Pope Gregory XII Roman Obedience fled from Rome and the power of Paolo Orsini on 9 August 1407 He travelled to Viterbo to prepare for a congress which was to be held in Savona In September he and the papal court moved to Siena where he held meetings with representatives of the French and of Pope Benedict XIII In 1408 Pope Gregory went to Lucca from Siena to attempt to arrange a meeting with Pope Benedict XIII Avignon Obedience to settle the schism On 9 May 1408 while still in Lucca Pope Gregory created fourn new cardinals two of whom were his nephews 31 This was in apparent violation of the electoral capitulations signed and sworn to at his election in 1406 32 Eight of his cardinals removed themselves from Lucca in anger and fear beginning on 11 May and made for Pisa The cardinals held a formal meeting at Livorno on 29 June denouncing Gregory XII and calling for a church council In fear of the French fleet which held the city of Genoa Gregory abandoned the announced plan to meet in Savona and returned to Siena on 14 July 1408 33 At the Council of Pisa on 5 June 1409 Gregory and Benedict were deposed Territorial losses edit In 1519 the parish church of S Maria Maggiore in Pescia was created a Provostship and its Provost was assigned 60 parishes of the diocese of Lucca as his ordinary jurisdiction nullius dioecesis independent of the bishop of Lucca and immediately subject to the Holy See Papacy On 17 March 1727 Pope Benedict XIII made Pescia the seat of a diocese separating its territory entirely from the diocese of Lucca and appointed the first bishop Bartolomeo Pucci the Bishop of San Sepolcro was transferred to the diocese of Pescia on 20 September 1728 34 Post Tridentine synods edit Bishop Alessandro Guidiccioni the Elder 1549 1600 held a diocesan synod in the cathedral of S Martino in Lucca on 12 November 1564 following the decrees laid down by the Council of Trent which had adjourned in the previous year In his Summons the bishop laid out in detail the precise expectations of a synod His second synod was held on 4 March 1574 in which the establishment of a diocesan seminary was approved 35 On 15 September 1579 Bishop Guidiccioni held another synod in the main hall of the episcopal palace 36 BIshop Alessandro Guidiccioni the Younger 1600 1637 held a diocesan synod on 25 27 November 1625 37 In 1646 Bishop Giovanni

Martino on 28 30 April 1700 42 At the beginning of August 1719 Bishop Genesio Calchi 1714 1723 sent out the usual summonses announcing that there would be a general diocesan synod in Lucca to open on 18 September 1719 This raised an immediate outcry on the part of the clergy of the Garfagnana who were required to attend as part of the ecclesiastical territory of the diocese of Lucca even though they were part of the political territory then under the control of the Duke of Mantua Complaints to the duke led to a complaint on the part of the duke to the pope requesting that the synod not be held Pope Clement XI wrote to the bishop of Lucca on 10 September 1719 pointing out the complex difficulties and requesting the bishop to find a way to cancel or at least postpone the synod On the 14th the bishop wrote to the Council of State of Lucca asking that they see that there was calm so that his synod could be held but the Council sided with the pope in requesting the bishop to suspend the holding of the synod 43 Bishop Fabio Colloredo 1731 1742 held a synod on 15 17 May 1736 44 Territorial losses edit On 5 December 1622 Pope Gregory XV established the diocese of San Miniato on territory which had formed part of the diocese of Lucca 45 Interdict edit In the 1640s the Republic of Lucca was a subject of great annoyance to the Papacy Lucca allowed German protestants to reside in the city spreading heresy it violated legitimate exemptions of the clergy from laws and regulations and it considered it its right to tax commercial transactions in goods particularly grain Bishop Guidiccioni in his advanced age was not able to make progress in enforcing the church s demands On his death Cardinal Marco Antonio Franciotti was appointed bishop in the expectation that a native of Lucca would succeed in restraining the government He failed On 1 September 1639 therefore Pope Urban VIII ordered Franciotti to leave the city and he appointed an Apostolic Commissary to deal with the Republic Bishop Cesare Raccagni of Citta di Castello who also failed The dreaded interdict was pronounced by the pope on 2 April 1640 The clergy obeyed the pope but the Republic trusted to the support of the Grand Duke of Tuscany and the King of Spain Only after protracted negotiations was the interdict lifted on 31 March 1643 46 Cardinal Franciotti was appointed papal legate in the March of Ancona May 1640 to December 1642 At the conclusion of his term he moved to Rome where he provided shelter for his brothers who had been driven out of Lucca 47 On 11 September 1726 by the bull Inscrutabili divinae Pope Benedict XIII raised the diocese of Lucca to the status of a metropolitan archdiocese 48 Territorial losses edit On 18 July 1789 at the request of the government of Florence Pope Pius VI transferred 18 parishes from the diocese of Lucca to the diocese of Pisa including the Vicariates of Barga and of Pietrasanta and transferred 7 parishes from the diocese of Pisa to the diocese of Lucca 49 In April 1826 Pope Leo XII basing his decision on a bull of Pope Pius VII of 3 July 1822 removed the Priorato of Castelnuovo in the valley of the Garfagnana which included 40 parishes from the diocese of Lucca as well as several churches in the Vicariate of Castiglione 50 Territorial gains edit In the changes following the Second Vatican Council the Vatican again revisited the centuries long problem of the Garfagnana 51 After extensive consultations and with authority granted them by Pope John Paul II the Vatican Congregation of Bishops issued the decree Pastoralis Collocatio on 5 September 1992 transferring 106 parishes of the Garfagnana from the diocese of Massa Massensis Apuana to the diocese of Lucca Massa Cararra had been created in 1822 52 Bishops of Lucca editTo 1100
