Basilio Cacace
The Catholic Archdiocese of Ephesus is a suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church (in Latin: Archidioecesis Ephesina). It is the Catholic counterpart of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Ephesus, which is a titular bishopric under Patriarchate of Constantinople (in Greek: Μητρόπολις Εφέσου; Mitrópolis Efesou). History Both the Catholic and Orthodox churches lay claim to the ancient bishopric founded in the 1st century by Saint Timothy. Beginning in the 14th century, Ephesus was one of the archbishopric claimed by the Catholic Church, due in part to the Catholic Church involvement in the east Mediterranean. The first known bishop was Franciscan named Corrado (fl1318) whom Le Quien called ''vir doctus et in linguis orientalis versatus''. On several occasions the bishopric was attributed to bishops who later became cardinals. The last Catholic holder was Giovanni Enrico Boccella, [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Archbishop
In Christian denominations, an archbishop is a bishop of higher rank or office. In most cases, such as the Catholic Church, there are many archbishops who either have jurisdiction over an ecclesiastical province in addition to their own archdiocese ( with some exceptions), or are otherwise granted a titular archbishopric. In others, such as the Lutheran Church of Sweden and the Church of England, the title is borne by the leader of the denomination. Etymology The word archbishop () comes via the Latin ''archiepiscopus.'' This in turn comes from the Greek , which has as components the etymons -, meaning 'chief', , 'over', and , 'seer'. Early history The earliest appearance of neither the title nor the role can be traced. The title of "metropolitan" was apparently well known by the 4th century, when there are references in the canons of the First Council of Nicæa of 325 and Council of Antioch of 341, though the term seems to be used generally for all higher ranks of bishop ...

Boudewijn Catz
Boudewijn Catz or Cats (ca. 1601 - 18 May 1663) was apostolic vicar to the Dutch Mission from 1662 to 1663. Life Catz was born in Gorinchem. He served as vicar to the Diocese of Haarlem.
