(Redirected from Bishop of Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux)

The former French Roman Catholic Diocese of Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux (Latin: Dioecesis Sancti Pauli Tricastinorum; French: Diocèse de Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux), sometimes, just like the town, also known as the Diocese of Saint-Paul-en-Tricastin (Latin: Dioecesis Sancti Pauli Tricastinorum; French: Diocèse de Saint-Paul-en-Tricastin), existed from the sixth century to the French Revolution.

Its see was at Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, in the modern department of Drôme, southern France. Its territory was included in the expanded Diocese of Valence, by the Napoleonic Concordat of 1801.

History

edit

Ancient Augusta Tricastinorum became a bishopric in the Roman province of Gallia Viennensis by the 4th century. It first historically recorded bishop seems Florentius, participant at the Council of Epaone (Burgundian Kingdom) in 517.

According to a legend of the fifteenth century, St. Restitutus, first Bishop of St-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, was the man born blind, mentioned in the Gospel. Local traditions also make Saints Eusebuis, Torquatus, Paulus, Amantius, Sulpicius, Bonifatius, Castorinus and Michael early bishops of St-Paul-Trois-Châteaux. Of those, Louis Duchesne regards St. Paulus (fourth or sixth century), patron saint of the city, as the only known bishop, after whom the see was named.

The Diocese of St-Paul-Trois-Châteaux was always dependent on the archdiocese of Arles. Among its bishops were Heraclius (525-42), correspondent of St. Avitus; Saint Martin des Ormeaux (seventh century), who became a solitary.[1]

Owing to Saracen ravages from Iberia (827-29) the see of St-Paul-Trois-Châteaux was, by Decree of Gregory IV, united aeque principaliter (i.e. in personal union) with that of Orange until 1107, when the Diocese of Orange was re-established.

In 1911.06.12, it was united (as title of its Bishops) with the Diocese of Valence. Its Former Cathedral, Ancienne cathédrale Notre-Dame et Saint-Paul, dedicated to Saint-Paul and Our Lady, was not granted co-cathedral status.
