The Diocese of Łomża () is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church located in the city of Łomża in the ecclesiastical province of Białystok in Poland.

Forum Popilii
Forum Popilii (Italian: Forlimpopoli) is a Catholic titular see. The current Titular Bishop of Forum Popilii is Robert Joseph Fisher. History Forum Popilii, today Forlimpopoli, near Forlì in Italy, was founded in 173 BC by the Consul M. Popilius Laenas. The first bishop is supposed to have been St. Rufillus, appointed by Pope Sylvester, and he is supposed to have transformed a temple of Isis into a church. At all events Rufillus is the patron of the city, and the church in which his body is preserved is said to have been an ancient temple of Hercules. In 500 Asellus, Bishop of Forlimpopoli, was present at the Roman synod that passed on the election of Pope Simmaeus, and in 649 Bishop Stephen attended the Roman council concerning the Monothelites. This city had much to suffer from the Lombards, and in 665 or 670, while the people were assembled in the cathedral for the ceremonies of Holy Saturday, it was suddenly attacked by King Grimoald, who pillaged it and butchered nu ...
