Roman Catholic Diocese Of Tropea
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tropea (Latin: Tropiensis) was a Roman Catholic diocese located in the city of Tropea in the province of Vibo Valentia, in Calabria (southern Italy). On 30 September 1986, the diocese was suppressed, and its territory incorporated into the Diocese of Mileto–Nicotera–Tropea). History By 594, a diocese was established as the Diocese of Meria or Myria. Pope Gregory I wrote to his notary in Reggio that the archdeacon Leo and the other clergy should assemble in their church of Myreia and elect a bishop, who, once consecrated, should receive the property of the church. The property was in the hands of Bishop Dono of Messana. The Diocese of Tropea is first heard of in 649, when Bishop Joannes attended the Roman council of Pope Martin I. The ''Diatyposis'' of the Emperor Leo VI (c. 900) lists the Greek Metropolitan of Reggio and his suffragans: the dioceses of Vibona, Tauriana, Locri, Rossano, Squillace, Tropea, Amantea, Cotrone, Cosenza, Nicotera, ...

Council Of Pisa
The Council of Pisa was a controversial ecumenical council of the Catholic Church held in 1409.

He was succeeded by John XXIII. Preliminaries During the Conclave of November 1406, Cardinal Angelo Correr had promised, along with all the other cardinals who signed the Electoral Capitulations, that if elected Pope, he would not create new cardinals except to keep the college of the Roman Obedience on a par with the Avignon Obedience. When he was elected Pope Gregory XII, he signed and ratified those capitulations. But in May 1408, without need, he insisted on creating four new cardinals, two of whom were his nephews. Th ...
