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.

Titular See
A titular see in various churches is an episcopal see of a former diocese that no longer functions, sometimes called a "dead diocese". The ordinary or hierarch of such a see may be styled a "titular metropolitan" (highest rank), "titular archbishop" (intermediary rank) or "titular bishop" (lowest rank), which normally goes by the status conferred on the titular see. Titular sees are dioceses that no longer functionally exist, often because the territory was conquered by Muslims or because it is schismatic. The Greek–Turkish population exchange of 1923 also contributed to titular sees. The see of Maximianoupolis along with the town that shared its name was destroyed by the Bulgarians under Emperor Kaloyan in 1207; the town and the see were under the control of the Latin Empire, which took Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade in 1204. Parthenia, in north Africa, was abandoned and swallowed by desert sand. Catholic Church During the Muslim conquests of the Middle Eas ...

Bishop
A bishop is an ordained clergy member who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution. In Christianity, bishops are normally responsible for the governance of dioceses. The role or office of bishop is called episcopacy. Organizationally, several Christian denominations utilize ecclesiastical structures that call for the position of bishops, while other denominations have dispensed with this office, seeing it as a symbol of power. Bishops have also exercised political authority. Traditionally, bishops claim apostolic succession, a direct historical lineage dating back to the original Twelve Apostles or Saint Paul. The bishops are by doctrine understood as those who possess the full priesthood given by Jesus Christ, and therefore may ordain other clergy, including other bishops. A person ordained as a deacon, priest (i.e. presbyter), and then bishop is understood to hold the fullness of the ministerial priesthood, given responsibility b ...
