Roman Catholic Diocese of Forlì-Bertinoro

January 01, 1970

The Diocese of Forlì-Bertinoro (Latin: Dioecesis Foroliviensis-Brittinoriensis) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in Romagna, Italy. Until 1986 it was known as the Diocese of Forlì, in existence perhaps from the fourth century. In that year the Diocese of Bertinoro was united to it. The diocese is suffragan to the Archdiocese of Ravenna-Cervia.[1]

History edit

St. Mercurialis is considered the first bishop of Forlì, and has been said to belong to the second century; he is also said to be the Mercurialis who was allegedly present at the Council of Rimini in 359. Both assertions are based on legends of the 11th or 12th century.[2]

On 12 July 1173, a major fire destroyed nearly all of the city of Forlì, including the episcopal palace, the cathedral with its annexes, the other churches, and the monastery of S. Mercuriale, which housed the archives.[3] In 1353, another large fire destroyed the district of S. Mercuriale in Forlì and damaged large parts of the rest of the city.[4]

On 8 July 1286, Archbishop Bonifacio Fieschi de' Conti di Lavagna of Ravenna presided over a provincial council, held in Forlì. It was attended by the bishops of Imola, Faenza, Forlimpopoli, Ceseena, Sarsina, Adria, and Bishop Rinaldus of Forlì, as well as procurators of the bishops of Bologna, Cervia, Modena, and Parma.[5]

In 1769, the Cathedral of the cathedral of the Holy Cross was staffed and administered by a Chapter, consisting of four dignities (not dignitaries) and nineteen Canons.[6] The dignities were: the Provost, the Archpriest, the Archdeacon, and the Primicerius."[7]

Bishop Giacomo Theodoli (1635–1665) held his second diocesan synod in Forlì on 5 May 1639. He had previously held a synod, at some time between 1635 and 1639.[8] Bishop Claudio Ciccolini (1666–1688) held a diocesan synod on 22 April 1675.[9]

Consolidation of dioceses 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.[10] These considerations applied to Forlì and Bertinoro. Forlì claimed a Catholic population of 178,000, with 112 priests. Bertinoro, in 1980 had only 37,650 Catholics, but 64 priests.

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. This applied to Bishop Giovanni Proni, who had been Bishop of Bertinoro since 10 March 1970, and at the same time Bishop of Forlì since 9 June 1976.

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 Forlì and Bertinoro be merged into one diocese with one bishop, with the Latin title Dioecesis Foroliviensis-Brittinoriensis. The seat of the diocese was to be in Forlì, and the cathedral of Forli was to serve as the cathedral of the merged dioceses. The cathedral in Bertinoro 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 Forlì, 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 Bertinoro.[11]

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.

Reference works 5 2 Studies 6 External linksHistory editThis section needs expansion with any historical information You can help by adding to it October 2016 St Mercurialis is considered the first bishop of Forli and has been said to belong to the second century he is also said to be the Mercurialis who was allegedly present at the Council of Rimini in 359 Both assertions are based on legends of the 11th or 12th century 2 On 12 July 1173 a major fire destroyed nearly all of the city of Forli including the episcopal palace the cathedral with its annexes the other churches and the monastery of S Mercuriale which housed the archives 3 In 1353 another large fire destroyed the district of S Mercuriale in Forli and damaged large parts of the rest of the city 4 On 8 July 1286 Archbishop Bonifacio Fieschi de Conti di Lavagna of Ravenna presided over a provincial council held in Forli It was attended by the bishops of Imola Faenza Forlimpopoli Ceseena Sarsina Adria and Bishop Rinaldus of Forli as well as procurators of the bishops of Bologna Cervia Modena and Parma 5 In 1769 the Cathedral of the cathedral of the Holy Cross was staffed and administered by a Chapter consisting of four dignities not dignitaries and nineteen Canons 6 The dignities were the Provost the Archpriest the Archdeacon and the Primicerius 7 Bishop Giacomo Theodoli 1635 1665 held his second diocesan synod in Forli on 5 May 1639 He had previously held a synod at some time between 1635 and 1639 8 Bishop Claudio Ciccolini 1666 1688 held a diocesan synod on 22 April 1675 9 Consolidation of dioceses 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 10 These considerations applied to Forli and Bertinoro Forli claimed a Catholic population of 178 000 with 112 priests Bertinoro in 1980 had only 37 650 Catholics but 64 priests 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 This applied to Bishop Giovanni Proni who had been Bishop of Bertinoro since 10 March 1970 and at the same time Bishop of Forli since 9 June 1976 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 Forli and Bertinoro be merged into one diocese with one bishop with the Latin title Dioecesis Foroliviensis Brittinoriensis The seat of the diocese was to be in Forli and the cathedral of Forli was to serve as the cathedral of the merged dioceses The cathedral in Bertinoro 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 Forli 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 Bertinoro 11

therefore this sacred synod decrees that to the extent required 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
