Bishopric of Acci

The first bishopric was established in 47 AD. The legend of the Seven Apostolic Men, preserved in the Mozarabic Missal, places the episcopal see of
St. Torquatus Saint Torquatus ( es, Santo Torcuato) is venerated as the patron saint of Guadix, Spain. Tradition makes him a Christian missionary of the 1st century, during the Apostolic Age. He evangelized the town of ''Acci'', identified as Guadix, and beca ...

From then until 303, when Felix presided at the Council of Elvira, no record is preserved of the Accitanian bishops.Ramón Ruiz Amadó, "Guadix" in ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' (New York 1914)

In 741 it was suppressed, due to the Moorish conquest of Andalusia. In the Mozarabic period the diocese of Acci continued to exist.

, the apostolic rank possessed by the see of Acci previous to the Islamic invasion is attributed to that of Guadix. The '' Annuario Pontificio'' gives the date of foundation of the diocese of Guadix as 1st century AD. It also lists the ancient see of Acci as a titular see (one that no longer has a diocesan bishop), thus distinguishing it from the bishopric of Guadix, so there are two parallel titles and lists of incumbents. Since the Ancient diocese was nominally restored in 1969 as Latin Titular bishopric of Acci, Latin adjective Accitan(us), it has had the following incumbents, so far all of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank, ''including an Eastern Catholic'': *

granted on 4 August 1486. It comprised the territory of the old dioceses of Acci and Basti. The collegiate church at Baza, the new name of Basti, was reluctant to accept rule from Guadix. As a compromise, the collegiate church was given authority, under the bishop, over twelve parishes, and the name of the bishopric was changed to Diocese Guadix-Baza, indicating a union of two dioceses under a single bishop. This continued until 1851, when the collegiate church became a simple parish church and the diocese resumed the name of Diocese of Guadix. In 1957 it lost territory to the
