Roman Catholic Diocese of Balecium

April 09, 2024

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Balecium (Latin name) or of Balecio/Balezo (in Curiate/Venetian Italian) or of Baleč (in Serbian) is a former Latin Rite bishopric and present titular see of the Catholic Church in Albania. The town that was its seat was destroyed in 1356 by the Serbian kingdom of Rascia.

History edit

Circa 1300 (possibly much earlier) was established a Diocese of Balecium alias Balezo.

At the beginning of the 14th century, Baleč (alias Baleš) was the see of a small Catholic diocese.[1] In 1356, Bishop Andreas Citer complained that his bishopric was full of schismatics.[2] The diocese had been laid waste and impoverished by Serbian "schismatics of the kingdom of Rascia", who had completely destroyed the monastery situated 5000 paces from the cathedral. In response, Pope Innocent VI granted him in commendam, on 26 September of the same year, the Benedictine monastery of St. John in Drivast.[3][4] At this time Baleč must have ceased to exist as a town, so that, although bishops continued to be appointed to the see,[5][6] by 1448, when even the fortress rebuilt by Skanderbeg was destroyed, the town was no more than a memory.[7]

In the late 15th century the bishopric was formally suppressed after its see had been utterly destroyed.

Titular see edit

The bishopric of Balecium, no longer a residential see, is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see[8] since it was nominally restored as Latin titular bishopric under the names Balecium (Latin; adjective Balcien(sis) ) or Balecio (Curiate Italian).
