Roman Catholic Diocese Of Saint-Étienne
The Diocese of Saint-Étienne (; ) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in France, based in the Loire department, on the left (western) bank of the Loire River, opposite Vienne. The distance by road from Vienne to Saint-Étienne is 51 km (32 mi). History Since the mid-19th century, it was realized that the diocese of Lyon, consisting of the two civil departments of Loire and Rhône, was too large for efficient administration. Several attempts to reform the situation were made, notably in 1916, when a group of Catholics from Saint-Étienne petitioned the Vatican unsuccessfully for a division of the two departments. The Vatican's response was to appoint an auxiliary bishop of Lyon, who would reside at Saint-Étienne, a solution which persisted until 1971. Bishop Hyacinthe-Jean Chassagnon served as Auxiliary Bishop from 28 June 1917 to 19 June 1922, when he was appointed bishop of Autun. Bishop Etienne Bornet was Auxiliary Bishop from 16 December 1937 to 4 June 1958. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Former Diocese Of Vienne
The Archbishopric of Vienne, named after its episcopal seat in Vienne in the Isère département of southern France, was a metropolitan Roman Catholic archdiocese. It is now part of the Archdiocese of Lyon. History The legend according to which Crescens, the first Bishop of Vienne, is identical with the Crescens of Saint Paul's Second Letter to Timothy, iv, 20 certainly postdates the letter of Pope Zosimus to the Church of Arles (417) and the letter of the bishops of Gaul in 451; because, although both these documents allude to the claims to glory which Arles owes to St. Trophimus, neither of them mentions Crescens. Archbishop Ado of Vienne (860–875) set afoot this legend of the Apostolic origin of the See of Vienne and put down St. Zachary, St. Martin and St. Verus, later successors of Crescens, as belonging to the Apostolic period. This legend was confirmed by the ''Recueil des privilèges de l'Eglise de Viene'', which, however, was not compiled under the supervision o ...
