Roman Catholic Diocese of Caiazzo
The Diocese of Caiazzo is a former Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in the province of Caserta, southern Italy, abolished in 1986, when it was united into the Diocese of Alife-Caiazzo. It was a suffragan of the archdiocese of Capua.[1][2]
History
According to legend, Christianity was introduced by St. Priscus, first Bishop of Capua. The first known bishop of Caiazzo was Arigisus, the exact time of whose episcopate is uncertain; however, as the name indicates, it could not have been before the beginning of the seventh century, when the Lombards settled in that region.
Others were:
- Stefano, who had been Abbot of S. Salvatore in Capue (died 1025), and his successor Ferdinando;
- Jacopo (died 1253), exiled by Emperor Frederick II;
- Giuliano Frangipane, elected in 1472;
- Vincio Maffa, elected in 1507, theologian at the Fifth Lateran Council (1512);
- Ascanio Parisani, elected in 1528
- Fabio Mirto, elected in 1537, who took part in the Council of Trent, and was Apostolic nuncio to Paris at the time of his death (1587);
- Ottavio Mirto Frangipani, elected in 1572;
- Orazio Acquaviva, who was captured by the Turks at the battle of Lepanto;
- Taddeo, elected in 1641.
