The Diocese of Mileto-Nicotera-Tropea is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in Calabria, southern Italy, created in 1986. In that year the historical Diocese of Mileto was united with the Diocese of Nicotera-Tropea. The diocese is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Reggio Calabria-Bova.〔(''Catholic Hierarchy'' page )〕 ==History== Mileto was made an episcopal see by Pope Gregory VII in 1073. The earthquake of 1783 destroyed the cathedral, built by Count Roger, who also built the monastery of the Most Holy Trinity and St. Michael for Greek Basilian monks. Pope Callixtus II united the diocese of Mileto with the diocese of Tauriana and diocese of Vibona, the latter destroyed by the Saracens. The first bishop was Arnolfo; after him were *Godfrey (1094), under whom the see became immediately subject to Rome; *Cardinal Corrado Caracciolo (1402); *Cardinal Astorgio Agnensi (1411); *Antonio Sorbilli (1435), who founded the seminary in 1440; *Felice Centini (1611), afterwards a cardinal; *Gregorio Ponziani (1640), charged with a mission to England by Pope Urban VIII.〔(''Catholic Encyclopedia'' article )〕 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 Mileto-Nicotera-Tropea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
