Gratianopolis (Mauretania Caesariensis)
Gratianopolis was an ancient city and Roman Catholic diocese in Mauretania Caesariensis in present-day Algeria. It was one of several towns named after the Roman emperor Gratian (367 to 383), and is only known from mentions in church council minutes. Its history, location and present condition are unknown. The name survives as a Roman Catholic titular see, and since 1911 has been the title of the Greek Catholic Apostolic Exarchate. Ecclesiastical history Gratianopolis was important enough in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis to become the seat of the Catholic bishop. It had two recorded bishops who attended church councils in the 5th century: * Publicius (Catholic) and Deuterius (Donatist heretic), both at the Conference of Carthage (411). * Thalassius, who was present at the Synod of Carthage (484). The diocese ceased to exist with the coming of Islam in the 7th century, and Gratianopolis is not mentioned in a list of dioceses in the sixth and seventh centuries ...

The Order of Friars Minor Capuchin (; postnominal abbr. O.F.M. Cap.) is a religious order of Franciscan friars within the Catholic Church, one of Three " First Orders" that reformed from the Franciscan Friars Minor Observant (OFM Obs., now OFM), the other being the Conventuals (OFM Conv.). Franciscans reformed as Capuchins in 1525 with the purpose of regaining the original Habit (Tunic) of St. Francis of Assisi and also for returning to a stricter observance of the rule established by Francis of Assisi in 1209. History Origins The Order arose in 1525 when Matteo da Bascio, an Observant Franciscan friar native to the Italian region of Marche, said he had been inspired by God with the idea that the manner of life led by the friars of his day was not the one which their founder, St. Francis of Assisi, had envisaged. He sought to return to the primitive way of life of solitude and penance, as practised by the founder of their Order. His religious superiors tried to suppre ...
