History edit

According to the hagiographical "Life of Gaudentius", written c. 700,[4] he was born in Ivrea, and came to Novara, where a priest named Laurentius was preaching and baptizing. When Laurentius was killed, he took up the task of catechizing, with the blessing of Bishop Eusebius of Vercelli, in whose territory Novara was situated. There he was noticed as a future episcopal candidate by Bishop Ambrose of Milan during a visit to Novara. Gaudentius was consecrated a bishop by Ambrose's successor, Bishop Simplicianus (397–401).[5] He served in Novara for twenty years.[6]

In 972, the Holy Roman Emperor Otto I granted the dominium of the town of Novara and twenty-four miles surrounding the town to Bishop Aupaldo and his successors, the Bishops of Novara. The bishops therefore enjoyed the title of Count as well as the same rights as a Count of the Empire.[7]

In 1059, Pope Nicholas II summoned the archbishop of Milan and his suffragans to attend his synod, which met in Rome in April. Among the suffragan bishops who attended was Bishop Oddo of Novara.[8]

In 1352, Bishop Guilelmo Amidano (1342–1355) had all of the regulations concerning the Chapter of Novara collected and arranged in a single volume.[9]

In 1394 and 1395, Bishop Pietro Filargi successfully negotiated with King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia, the King of Rome, the recognition of Gian Galeazzo Visconti as Imperial Vicar and the first Duke of Milan. King Wenceslaus also granted Bishop Pietro of Novara the title of Princeps Sacri Imperii.[10]

Novara lost part of its territory on 16 March 1530, when Pope Clement VII established the Diocese of Vigevano.[11]

Giovanni Antonio Serbelloni, Cardinal of S. Giorgio in velabro, Bishop of Novara, did not attend the First Provincial Council of Milan on 14 October 1565, under the presidency of Cardinal Carlo Borromeo, Archbishop of Milan.[12] Bishop Romolo Archinto (1574–1576) attended the Fourth Provincial Synod of Milan in 1576, and signed the decrees.[13] Bishop Pomponio Cotta (1577–1579) attended and subscribed the decrees of the Fifth Provincial Synod of Milan in March 1579.[14] Bishop Francesco Bossi (1579–1583) was unable to attend the Sixth Provincial Synod of Milan in May 1582, but sent his Vicar General, Giovanni Paolo Albergono, as his procurator.[15] Bishop Carlo Bescapè (1593–1615) was present at the Seventh Provincial Synod of Milan in May 1609 and subscribed the decrees.[16]

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, of the provincial synod, and of the Holy See.[17]

Bishop Oldrado (1356–ca. 1388) presided over a diocesan synod in the cathedral of Novara on 3 January 1365.[18]

On 9 May 1568, Cardinal Giovanni Antonio Serbelloni (1560–1574) held a diocesan synod.[19] Bishop Cesare Speciano (1584–1591) presided over a diocesan synod in 1590.[20]

A diocesan synod was held by Bishop Giulio Maria Odescalchi (1656–1666) in 1660.[21] A synod was held in 1674 by Bishop Giuseppe Maria Maraviglia (1667–1684), and another in 1675.[22]

Bishop Giovanni Battista Visconti (1688–1713) presided over a diocesan synod on 6–8 July 1707.[23] Bishop Marco Aurelio Balbis Bertone (1757–1789) held a diocesan synod on 1–3 July 1778.[24]

Cardinal Giuseppe Morozzo Della Rocca (1817–1842) presided over a diocesan synod in Novara on 11–13 July 1826.[25] In August 1856, Synodical Statutes of the diocese of Novara were issued under the auspices of Bishop Giacomo Filippo Gentile (1843–1875). Bishop Edoardo Pulciano (1892 –1901) held a diocesan synod on 4–6 September 1900.[26] A diocesan synod was held by Bishop Giuseppe Castelli (1924–1943) on 9–11 September 1936.[27] On 20–22 October 1955, Bishop Gilla Vincenzo Gremigni (1951–1963) held a diocesan synod.[28]

French occupation edit

On 17 March 1805, the Emperor Napoleon established the Kingdom of Italy, and had himself crowned its king, on 23 May, in the cathedral of Milan by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Caprara, the papal legate. Novara became part of the kingdom, and was made the capital of a "department" called Agogna. When Napoleon abdicated in 1814, the kingdom came to an end, and Milanese territory was occupied by the Austrians. The Kingdom of Sardinia was restored by the Congress of Vienna in 1815. It included Novara.

Back in power, King Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia requested Pope Pius VII, who had also returned to the restored Papal States, to restore the dioceses in the Piedmont. On 17 July 1817, the pope issued the bull "Beati Petri", which reconstituted de novo the ten dioceses which had been suppressed under the French.[29] In addition, the pope created a new ecclesiastical province and elevated the diocese of Vercelli to the rank of metropolitan archdiocese, with the dioceses of Alessandria, Biella, and Casale as suffragans.[30]

Upon further consideration and consultation with ecclesiastical authorities in Milan, Pius VII chose to make additional adjustments. In an apostolic letter to Cardinal Paolo Giuseppe Solaro, "Cum Per Nostras" (26 September 1817), he authorized the cardinal to remove two dioceses from the jurisdiction of the metropolitan archbishop of Milan, and transfer the diocese of Novara to the ecclesiastical province of Vercelli, in the Kingdom of Sardinia.[31]
