The Roman Catholic Diocese of Châlons is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic church in France. The diocese comprises the department of Marne, excluding the arrondissement of Reims.〔(Official web site ) (in French}]〕〔(Châlons-sur-Marne ) - Catholic Encyclopedia article〕 It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Reims.〔(Diocese of Châlons ) from (catholic-hierarchy.org )〕 ==History== United in 1802 with the Diocese of Meaux and in 1821 with the archdiocese of Reims, the diocese of Châlons was re-established in 1822, and is suffragan to Reims. Local legends maintain that the evangelization of Châlons by St. Memmius, sent thither by St. Peter and assisted by his sister Poma, also by St. Donatian and St. Domitian, took place in the first century. In the revised list of the diocesan saints in the Breviary these legends have been suppressed. The cathedral was consecrated in 1147 by Pope Eugene III, assisted by St. Bernard and eighteen cardinals. Among its celebrated abbeys the diocese counted those of St. Memmius, founded in the fifth century by Alpinus; Toussaints, founded in the eleventh century; Montier-en-Der, founded in the seventh century by St. Bereharius, a monk from Luxeuil; Saint-Pierre au Mont, founded during the same period. Notre-Dame de l'Epine, near Châlons, was a place of pilgrimage as early as the beginning of the fifteenth century. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roman Catholic Diocese of Châlons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
