The Diocese of Lucera-Troia (Latin: Dioecesis Lucerina-Troiana), sometimes called Nocera, is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in Apulia, in southern Italy, with its episcopal seat at Lucera Cathedral. The diocese reached its present configuration in 1986, by combining the older diocese of Lucera with the diocese of Troia,[1][2] the seat of which was Troia Cathedral, now a co-cathedral of the united diocese.
Ecclesiastical history
[edit]Lucera
[edit]Local tradition traces the origin of the bishopric of Lucera to the third century and Saint Bassus.[3] Two other imaginary bishops, Johannes and Marcus, first appear in a martyrology written in the 11th or 12th century, whose authority is usually rejected.[4] Pope Gelasius I (492–496) wrote to two local bishops, complaining about the attack on the Monastery in Fundo Luciano in the territory of the diocese of Lucera led by two priests of the diocese of Lucera, and orders the bishops to advise the (unnamed) bishop of Lucera to go to the monastery to ensure that attacks against the clergy should not take place.[5] The first historically certain bishop is Marcus (c. 743).
It was in the 1220s, under Bishop Bartolomaeus, that Frederick II began the settlement of Sicilian Saracens at Lucera.[6]
In 1391, the diocese of Lucera was increased by the addition of the bishopric of Castel Fiorentino (Farentino), a city founded in 1015 by the Byzantine catapan Basil Mesardonites, and the place of Emperor Frederick II's death.
After 1409, the diocese of Tortiboli - created before 1236 - was united to Lucera. In 1969, the name (though not the diocese) was revived under its Latin name Tortibulum.[7]
In 1609, 1687, and 1759, the diocese of Lucera is attested as a suffragan of the archdiocese of Benevento.[8]
Troia
[edit]Around 1031, the diocese of Troia is attested as being directly subject to the pope.[9] This was confirmed by Pope Paschal II in a bull of 10 November 1100, granting the bishops of Troia the right to be consecrated by the pope in perpetuum.[10]
In 1127, Count Roger II of Sicily presented Pope Honorius II (1124–1130) with a large gift of gold and silver, and promised him the towns of Troia and Montefusco, if the pope would grant him the standard and title of Duke of Apulia. In November 1127, Pope Honorius was in Troia, where he held a council, in which he excommunicated Count Roger and anyone who should support his efforts to become Duke of Apulia.[11] On 5 December 1127, the pope granted Troia a charter of constitutions and liberties. He also turned aside the leaders of Apulia, fearing the creation of a Norman kingdom in southern Italy.[12]
On 31 December 31, 1963, the diocese of Troia
The cathedral of Troia, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was administered by a Chapter of twenty canons, headed by four dignities (led by the Archdeacon, and the Archpriest).[13] In 1675, there were four dignities and sixteen canons. In 1752, there were four dignities and twelve canons.[14]
Pope Urban II held a synod at Troia on 11–12 March 1093, at which fifty-five bishops were in attendance.[15]
Post-Napoleonic restoration
[edit]Following the extinction of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, the Congress of Vienna authorized the restoration of the Papal States and the Kingdom of Naples. Since the French occupation had seen the abolition of many Church institutions in the Kingdom, as well as the confiscation of most Church property and resources, it was imperative that Pope Pius VII and King Ferdinand IV reach agreement on restoration and restitution. Ferdinand, however, was not prepared to accept the pre-Napoleonic situation, in which Naples was a feudal subject of the papacy. Neither was he prepared to accept the large number of small dioceses in his kingdom; following French intentions, he demanded the suppression of fifty dioceses.[16] Lengthy, detailed, and acrimonious negotiations ensued.[17] On 17 July 1816, King Ferdinand issued a decree, in which he forbade the reception of any papal document, including without prior reception of the royal exequatur. This meant that prelates could not receive bulls of appointment, consecration, or installation without the king's permission.[18]
A concordat was finally signed on 16 February 1818, and ratified by Pius VII on 25 February 1818. Ferdinand issued the concordat as a law on 21 March 1818.[19] The re-erection of the dioceses of the kingdom and the ecclesiastical provinces took more than three years. The right of the king to nominate the candidate for a vacant bishopric was recognized, as in the Concordat of 1741, subject to papal confirmation (preconisation).[20] On 27 June 1818, Pius VII issued the bull De Ulteriore in which the metropolitan archdiocese of Benevento was restored. The united dioceses of Montecorvino and Vulturaria were permanently suppressed and added to the territory of the diocese of Lucera.[21] Lucera continued as a suffragan of Benevento.[22]
The diocese of Troia had been immediately subject to the Holy See in 1752,[23] and it remained so under the new arrangements in the Kingdom of Naples in 1818.[24]
Post-Vatican-II changes
[edit]Following the Second Vatican Council, and in accordance with the norms laid out in the council's decree, Christus Dominus chapter 40,[25] Pope Paul VI ordered a reorganization of the ecclesiastical provinces in southern Italy. The decree "Eo quod spirituales" of 12 September 1976 created a new episcopal conference in the region called "Basilicata".[26] Pope Paul VI ordered consultations among the members of the Congregation of Bishops in the Vatican Curia, the Italian Bishops Conference, and the various dioceses concerned.
On 30 April 1979, Pope John Paul II continued the reorganization by promoting the diocese of Foggia to the rank of metropolitan archbishopric, and assigned to its new ecclesiastical province the dioceses of Siponto, Troia (which had been directly subject to the Holy See), Ausculo e Cerignola, Bovino, Lucera, Santo Severino and Vestana.[27]
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. 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 September 30, 1986, the diocese of Troia was united with Lucera to form the diocese of Lucera–Troia,[28] as a suffragan of the also reconstituted Metropolitan Archdiocese of Foggia-Bovino.[29] Both its cathedral in Lucera and its co-cathedral in Troia have the rank of minor basilica.

Therefore, in order to accomplish these aims this sacred synod decrees as follows: 1) The boundaries of ecclesiastical provinces are to be submitted to an early review and the rights and privileges of metropolitans are to be defined by new and suitable norms. 2) As a general rule all dioceses and other territorial divisions that are by law equivalent to dioceses should be attached to an ecclesiastical province. Therefore dioceses which are now directly subject to the Apostolic See and which are not united to any other are either to be brought together to form a new ecclesiastical province, if that be possible, or else attached to that province which is nearer or more convenient. They are to be made subject to the metropolitan jurisdiction of the bishop, in keeping with the norms of the common law. 3) Wherever advantageous, ecclesiastical provinces should be grouped into ecclesiastical regions for the structure of which juridical provision is to be made.

- ^ The pope (it is not known whether it was John XXI or Nicholas III) reserved the appointment of the next bishop to himself. Unfortunately John XXI died on 20 May 1277, and Nicholas III was elected on 25 November 1277 after a six-month-long conclave.

- ^ Eubel has another Pietro between Rogerio and Pietro: Pietro de Cateneto, O.F.M.
- ^ Following the death of Bishop Pietro, the cathedral Chapter met to elect a successor; eleven canons voted for Guillelmus, a Cluniac monk and Prior of the priory of the Cluniac priory of Podio (diocese of Sisteron), while two voted for Magister Bernardo da Boiano, the Archdeacon of Troia, who was then at Avignon. Thereupon Canon Beneventus, who was presiding, declared Guillelmus elected. Guillaume was duly examined by a committee of three cardinals and declared suitable. Pope Clement V confirmed the election, and performed the consecration of Guillelmus personally. He notified interested parties in letters of 12 April 1309. Eubel I, p. 499. Regestum Clementis papae V Vol. IV (Rome: Typographia Vaticana 1886), p. 76-77, no. 3940.
- ^ Following the death of Bishop Guillelmus, the cathedral Chapter met to elect a successor; after three days they could not reach a consensus, and therefore proceeded to a scrutiny, though three canons refused to participate and withdrew. The others then elected Beraldus, parish priest of the ecclesia de Salis in the diocese of Toulouse. A delegation carried the electoral certificate to Avignon, and Pope Clement appointed the customary committee of three cardinals to examine the election and the candidate. A technical error as to the age of Beraldus (26 or 36) was found, and a public meeting was held by the pope to determine the matter. No one raised objections, and therefore the pope confirmed the election. The Bishop of Ostia, Nicolaus Alberti, was delegated to consecrate Beraldus a bishop, and three cardinals assigned to invest him with the pallium. Pope Clement signed a letter attesting to the full facts on 12 June 1311. Eubel I, p. 499. Regestum Clementis papae V, Vol. VI: Annus sextus (Rome: Typographia Vaticana 1887), pp. 210-212, no. 7032.
- ^ Following the death of Bishop Beraldus, the cathedral Chapter elected Bishop Sinibaldus of Guardialfiera, who died while his election was being processed in Avignon. The Chapter then elected Rostagni de Subrano, O.F.P., whose election was voided by Pope John XXII. The pope then provided (appointed) Arnaldus, on 20 October 1322. Eubel I, pp. 269, note 1; 499. G.

Eubel, p. 257, citing the Liber Obligationum (payment book for bulls, etc.) gives the date of 17 April 1468. Vassalli's successor at Potenza was appointed on 17 April 1469.
