Contents

The bishops' seat is Alghero Cathedral. Bosa Cathedral is a co-cathedral of the diocese.

History

The town of Alghero was begun by the Doria of Genoa in 1102. In 1106 John, Bishop of Alghero, assisted at the consecration of the Church of the Trinity in Saccargia. [1]

After a long period, the see was renewed and confirmed by Pope Julius II in his papal bull "Aequum Reputamus" of 8 December 1503, splitting its territory off from the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Sassari, from the suppressed Roman Catholic Diocese of Bisarcio, [2] Diocese of Castro and Diocese of Ottana. [3] The seat of the bishops of Alghero was to be in Alghero, in the church of the Immaculate Conception, raised to the status of a cathedral. It was granted a Chapter, consisting of three dignities (the Archpriest, the Archdeacon, and the Dean) and thirteen (later fourteen, then sixteen) canons. [4]

Bishop Pedro del Frago Garcés (1566–1572) had the cathedral pulled down, in order to replace it with a more commodious building. Funds ran out, however, and it was not until 1589 that Bishop Baccallar took up the building project again. [5]

Pietro Parens, a Genoese, became bishop on 18 December 1503; he was present at the Fifth Lateran Council in 1512.

On 2 April 1549, Bishop Pietro Viguer and the Chapter of the cathedral met and agreed on a set of statutes for the Chapter, which the bishop then published. [6]

In 1582–1583, the plague struck Alghero, with a major loss of life. Dozens of bodies have been discovered in what became the courtyard of the Jesuit college of San Michele in Alghero. [7] The college was founded officially on 11 November 1589. [8]

Bishop Andrés Baccallar (1578–1604) conducted an ad limina visit to Rome in 1590. His report to the Sacred Congregation of the Council survives, and provides detailed information about the state of the diocese of Alghero. [9] He reported that he had founded (and subsidized) a seminary. [10] In 1589, he also purchased a house suitable to be an episcopal residence. ALghero had never had an episcopal palace, and the bishops resided elsewhere. [11]

On 24 May 1727, Pope Benedict XIII granted the king of Sardinia (duke of Savoy), Victor Amadeus II, the privilege of nominating candidates to vacant bishoprics on the island of Sardinia. The privilege was extended to his successors by Pope Pius VI in the bull "Pastoris Officii" of 29 March 1779. [12]

Synods

Bishop Pedro del Frago Garcés (1566–1572) held a diocesan synod on 21–28 May 1572. [13] Bishop Andrés Bacallar (1578–1604) held a diocesan synod in 1584. [14] Bishop Giovanni Battista Lomellini (1726–1729) Held a diocesan synod in 1728. [15] Bishop Gioacchino Radicati held a diocesan synod on 5–7 December 1785. [16]

On 21 July 1779, the diocese of Alghero lost territory to establish the Diocese of Galtelli-Nuoro. [17] On 24 September 1798, it gained territory from the Archdiocese of Sassari. [18] On 9 March 1803 it gained territory from the Diocese of Bosa, and lost territory to establish the Diocese of Bisarcio. [19] On 31 December 1938 it lost territory to the Diocese of Nuoro.

On 9 September 1919, the collegiate church of Santa Maria ad Nives in the town of Cuglieri [20] (22km,14mi south of Bosa) was granted the title and privileges of a "minor basilica" by Pope Benedict XV. [21]

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Valverde near Alghero is also notable. [22]

Suppression of diocese of Bosa

On 30 September 1986, with the consent of Pope John Paul II, the Congregation of Bishops issued a decree, suppressing the diocese of Bosa and uniting it to Alghero. [23] The name of the diocese would be Algarensis-Bosanensis. The seat of the new diocese and its cathedral would be in Alghero; the cathedral in Bosa would become a "co-cathedral". The territory of the diocese would be the territory of both dioceses. [24] Bishop Giovanni Pes would be the bishop, and was made responsible for implemting the decree. [25]

Notes

  1. ↑ Buonaiuti, p. 310, col. 2, derived this claim from Cappelletti, p. 142. The document describing the consecration of Sma Trinità (Codex diplomaticus Sarda Vol. 1, p. 193) mentions the bishops present: "Quales fuerunt su donnu de su Archiepiscopu de Turres, su donnu de su archiepiscopu de Oristanis, su donnu de su archiepiscopu de Calaris, misser Albertu episcopu de Sorra, misser Pedru episcopu de Bisarchiu, misser Pedru episcopu de Bosa, su episcopu de Sulcis, su episcopu de Castra , su episcopu de Flumen, su episcopu de Pioaghe, su episcopu de Ortilen, et ateros episcopos, abades, priores, canonigos, preideros, et ateros religiosos...." There is no reference to a Bishop John of Alghero in the document. His inclusion is a conjecture of Cappelletti, derived from Mattei, p. 220, who lists him as the first known bishop of Ottana (Ottanensis, Ortilensis).
