History

edit

The earliest mention of Montefeltro, as Montem Feretri, is in the diplomas by which first Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne confirmed the donation of Pepin.[4] In 785 the bishopric was established as Diocese of Montefeltro.[citation needed]

The first known bishop of Montefeltro was Agatho (826), whose residence was at San Leo.[5]

Bishop Joannes (1218–1221?) was granted the title of Count by the Emperor Frederick II.[6]

From the death of Bishop Ennio Filonardi in the first half of 1565 to the arrival of Bishop Gianfrancesco Sormani, the diocese of Montefeltro was without a resident bishop. Bishop Carlo Visconti of Ventimiglia was appointed on 6 July, probably as Apostolic Administrator, but he was in Rome, having just been appointed a cardinal; in any case, he died on 12 November 1565. It was not until after March 1567 that Sormani was installed. During all this time, the Chapter and city were being harassed by the soldiers of Duke [7]

Cathedral(s)

edit

On 26 May 1572, in the bull "Rationi congruit," Pope Gregory XIII ruled that the bishop and Chapter of Montefeltro could move to the collegiate church of S. Bartholomew, reside there, and hold divine offices there. There was only one cathedral in a diocese, howwever, and both S. Leo and S. Bartholomew could not both be cathedrals. The insignia of a cathedral would remain at S. Leo.[8]

In 1572, Pope Gregory XIII also appointed an Apostolic Visitator and Delegate, Bishop Gerolamo Raggazoni of Famagosta,[9] to investigate the conditions of the dioceses of Urbino, S. Leo and Montefeltro, Senigaglia, Psauro, Fossombrone, Cagli, Gubbio, and other churches. Montefeltro was visited officially in September 1574; the cathedral of S. Leo was found without officiating clergy, and the bishop was non-resident; the episcopal palace was in ruins and the Chapter residences nearly so. The main altar of the cathedral had had to be protected by a kind of baldachino, so that it would not be damaged by falling pieces of the roof. The other four altars were undecorated and unfit, and if not refurbished for divine service it was ordered that they be reemoved.[10]

In 1592, Bishop Giovanni Francesco Sormani (1567–1601) held a diocesan synod, and issued a set of synodial decrees, which were published in Rimini in 1592. Bishop Pietro Cartolari (1601–1607) also held a diocesan synod.[11]

In 1672, the city of Montefeltro, with a population of c. 1,000, was in the territory of Urbino and under the temporal sovereignty of the Papacy. The diocese was a suffragan of the archbishopric of Urbino, and the cathedral of S. Leo was administered and staffed by a corporation called the Chapter, which contained three dignities and fourteen canons.[12]

Under Bishop Flaminio Dondi (1724) the see was again transferred to San Leo, but later it returned to Pennabilli.[13] On 6–8 July 1734, Bishop Giovanni Crisostomo Calvi (1729–1747) held a diocesan synod in Pennabilli.[14] In 1747, the bishops were resident in Pennabilli, and were using the collegiate church of S. Bartolommeo for their episcopal functions.[15] Bishop Giuseppe Maria Terzi (1777–1803) held a diocesan synod in Pennabilli, in the church of S. Leo, on 13–15 October 1779. The synodal decrees were published.[16]

The parish of S. Apollinaris in the village of Paderno was removed from the diocese of Montefeltro by order of Pope Pius XI and the Sacred Consistorial Congregation on 20 February 1938, and assigned to the diocese of Sarsina.[17]

A change of territory took place on 3 January 1942, when Pope Pius XII and the Sacred Consistorial Congregation removed the parish of S. Marina in Bese from the jurisdiction of the diocese of Montefeltro and placed it in the diocese of Borgo San Sepolcro.[18]

Revising diocesan boundaries, conference, metropolitanate

edit

Acting in conformity to the decree "Christus Dominus" of the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965),[19] Pope Paul VI and the Sacred Congregation for Bishops issued the decree "Proprius dioecesis" on 22 February 1977.

To consolidate the diocese, the territories of three parishes were removed from the jurisdiction of the diocese of Sarsina and added to Montefeltro;[20] likewise, two parishes were removed from San Marino-Montefeltro and assigned to Sarsina.[21] Eleven parishes were removed and assigned to the Diocese of Rimini.[22] The diocese was renamed the 'Diocese of San Marino–Montefeltro.[23] The pope also decided that San Marino-Montefeltro would no longer belong to the ecclesiastical conference of Picenum, but rather be assigned to the conference of Aemiliana-Flaminia.[24] At the same time, the diocese was removed from the metropolitanate of Urbino, and transferred to the metropolitan of Ravenna-Cervia.[25]

Montefeltro enjoyed Papal visits from Pope John Paul II in August 1982,[26] and Pope Benedict XVI on 19 June 2011.[27]

On 18 September 2012, Pope Benedict XVI appointed the bishop of San Marino-Montefeltro, Bishop Luigi Negri, to serve as one of the Synod Fathers for the October 2012 13th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops.[28]

Concerning diocesan boundaries, 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. 23. In revising diocesan boundaries first place must be accorded to organic unity of each diocese, with due regard to the personnel, the offices and institutions, which form, as it were, a living body. In individual cases all circumstances should be carefully studied and the general criteria which follow should be kept in mind. 1.) In determining a diocesan boundary, as far as possible consideration should be given the variety in composition of the people of God, for this can contribute greatly to a more effective exercise of the pastoral office. 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. For this reason, obviously, the territory of each diocese should be continuous.
