The Diocese of Bolzano-Brixen (German: Diözese Bozen-Brixen, Italian: Diocesi di Bolzano-Bressanone, Latin: Dioecesis Bauzanensis-Brixinensis) is a Catholic diocese in northern Italy, with its seat in the city of Bolzano. Its territory corresponds with that of the province of South Tyrol with its predominantly German-speaking population. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Trento.[1][2]

The current configuration of the diocese was created by Pope Paul VI, in a papal bull of 6 August 1964, when the South Tyrolean parts of the archdiocese of Trento around Bolzano and Merano were merged into the Diocese of Brixen. In turn, the Austrian parts of the Brixen diocese around Feldkirch, Vorarlberg were at first allocated to the Apostolic Administration of Innsbruck-Felkirch, that only in 1964 was promoted as a Diocese and separated in two in 1968.[3] [4] The Ladin districts of Fodom (Livinallongo del Col di Lana and Colle Santa Lucia) and Anpez (Cortina d’Ampezzo) passed from Brixen to the Diocese of Belluno. At the same time the episcopal see was moved from Brixen to Bolzano, where the Assumption of Mary parish church was elevated to a co-cathedral, while the chapter remained in Brixen.

The diocesan ordinary (bishop) is Ivo Muser, appointed on 27 July 2011 by Pope Benedict XVI.

History

The history of the diocese begins when the diocese was established in Säben (Sabiona)[5] in the 6th century, and it was subject to the patriarchate of Aquileia.[6]

On 20 April 798, on orders of Charlemagne, Pope Leo III established the new archdiocese of Salzburg, and assigned it as suffragans the dioceses of Passau, Ratisbon, Freising, Säben, and Neuburg.[7]

It was under Bishop Albuinus (c. 974–1006), probably in 993, that the residence of the bishop and his episcopal seat were transferred from Säben to Brixen, some twelve miles to the northeast, in the same valley. The episcopal treasury, however, remained in Säben, and the church of the Holy Cross at the monastery of Säben continued to function as a cathedral of the diocese. A new cathedral was established in the church of Ss. Cassius and Ingenuinus in the monastery of the same title in Brixen.[8] Albuin's predecessor, Richbert(us), had also lived at Brixen from time to time, but when he died he was buried with his predecessors in the cathedral of the Holy Cross in Säben.[9]

Synods

The Emperor Henry IV held a synod at Brixen, on 25 June 1080, attended by thirty bishops, including Bishop Altwin of Brixen. The synod accused Pope Gregory VII of sacrilege, perjury, homicide, and other crimes, and deposed him from his papal office.[10] Pope Gregory replied by excommunicating the emperor and all of his supporters, including presumably Bishop Altwin of Brixen, at a synod held in Rome in February 1081.

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.[11]

Bishop Bruno von Bullenstetten und Kirchberg (1250–1288) presided over a diocesan synod in Brixen in 1287 or 1288. Bishop Landulfus held a diocesan synod c. 1296.[12] Bishop Johannes Wulfing von Güttingen (1306–1322) held a synod in 1318.[13]

A diocesan synod was held in Brixen by Bishop Christoph von Schrofenstein (1509–1521) in 1511.[14] Bishop Christoph Andreas von Spaur (1601–1613) presided over a diocesan synod in Brixen on 23–26 September 1603.[15]

Bishop Kaspar Ignaz von Künigl zu Ehrenburg (1703–1747) held a diocesan synod in 1710.[16]

Bishop Simon Aichner (1884–1904) held a diocesan synod on 27–31 August 1900.[17]

Seminary

The Council of Trent, in its 23rd session in 1562, decreed that each diocese, to the extent that it was feasible, should have a diocesan seminary for the training of priests.[18] As early as 1567, Archduke Ferdinand II and Cardinal Madruzzo began to draw up plans, but financial difficulties as well as problems with a site for the institution impeded progress. The Salzburg provincial synod of 1569 was encouraging, and again in 1576, but not with financial aid. Madruzzo's coadjutor and successor, Prince-Bishop Johann Thomas von Spaur (1578–1591), kept the plan alive, with the support of the Jesuit Peter Canisius, but still the problem was financial, even with a proposed tax on the Canons. The diocesan seminary of Brixen was finally founded by Bishop Johann Thomas Spaur in 1607, in the Kirchmayr house in the Runggad. It was not until 1764–1767 that the seminary acquired its own building.[19]

In 1779, the cathedral church, dedicated to the taking up (Assumption) of the body of the Virgin Mary into heaven, and to Ss. Cassianus, Ingenuinus, and Albuinus, had a Chapter composed of two dignities and nineteen Canons.[20]

On 29 September 1822, in the bull "Quae Nos Gravissimi", on a petition presented by Count Antal Apponyi, ambassador of the Emperor Francis I to the Holy See, Pope Pius VII granted the emperor the privilege of nominating the bishops of Trent and Brixen. The bull states that this was done with the consent of the Chapters of the two cathedrals (who thereby lost their right to free election of their bishop), as well as of the bishop of Brixen.[21]

On 7 March 1825, Pope Leo XII issued the bull "Ubi Primum", in which he named Salzburg as the metropolitan of the ecclesiastical province, and assigned as suffragans the dioceses of Trent, Brixen, Gurk, Seckau, and Lavant.[22]

archdiocese of Salzburg and assigned it as suffragans the dioceses of Passau Ratisbon Freising Saben and Neuburg 7 It was under Bishop Albuinus c 974 1006 probably in 993 that the residence of the bishop and his episcopal seat were transferred from Saben to Brixen some twelve miles to the northeast in the same valley The episcopal treasury however remained in Saben and the church of the Holy Cross at the monastery of Saben continued to function as a cathedral of the diocese A new cathedral was established in the church of Ss Cassius and Ingenuinus in the monastery of the same title in Brixen 8 Albuin s predecessor Richbert us had also lived at Brixen from time to time but when he died he was buried with his predecessors in the cathedral of the Holy Cross in Saben 9 Synods EditThe Emperor Henry IV held a synod at Brixen on 25 June 1080 attended by thirty bishops including Bishop Altwin of Brixen The synod accused Pope Gregory VII of sacrilege perjury homicide and other crimes and deposed him from his papal office 10 Pope Gregory replied by excommunicating the emperor and all of his supporters including presumably Bishop Altwin of Brixen at a synod held in Rome in February 1081 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 11 Bishop Bruno

EditThe Council of Trent in its 23rd session in 1562 decreed that each diocese to the extent that it was feasible should have a diocesan seminary for the training of priests 18 As early as 1567 Archduke Ferdinand II and Cardinal Madruzzo began to draw up plans but financial difficulties as well as problems with a site for the institution impeded progress The Salzburg provincial synod of 1569 was encouraging and again in 1576 but not with financial aid Madruzzo s coadjutor and successor Prince Bishop Johann Thomas von Spaur 1578 1591 kept the plan alive with the support of the Jesuit Peter Canisius but still the problem was financial even with a proposed tax on the Canons The diocesan seminary of Brixen was finally founded by Bishop Johann Thomas Spaur in 1607 in the Kirchmayr house in the Runggad It was not until 1764 1767 that the seminary acquired its own building 19 In 1779 the cathedral church dedicated to the taking up Assumption of the body of the Virgin Mary into heaven and

Apponyi ambassador of the Emperor Francis I to the Holy See Pope Pius VII granted the emperor the privilege of nominating the bishops of Trent and Brixen The bull states that this was done with the consent of the Chapters of the two cathedrals who thereby lost their right to free election of their bishop as well as of the bishop of Brixen 21 On 7 March 1825 Pope Leo XII issued the bull Ubi
