The Vicariate Apostolic of Orange River ((ラテン語:Vicariatus Apostolicus Fluminis Orangensis)) was a Roman Catholic missionary jurisdiction located in part of South Africa. == History == The Apostolic vicariate was erected as such in 1897 after having been a prefecture Apostolic since 20 June 1885. It comprised the whole of Little Namaqualand (beginning on the northern line of Clan William County in Cape Colony, i. e. 30° 35' S. lat.); extending to the Atlantic Ocean on the west and to the Orange River on the north. It further included Bushmanland, the districts of Kenhardt, Van Rhyns, Dorp and Frazerburg on the east, and beyond the Orange River the district of Gordonia in Bechuanaland. The prefecture, detached from the vicariate in July, 1909, was bounded on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, extending from the Orange River as far as Damaraland (23° 20' S. lat.), and comprises the city of Rehboth and its district. The eastern boundary line is 20° E. long. On July 9, 1940, it was renamed as Apostolic Vicariate of Keimoes. On January 11, 1951, it was promoted as Roman Catholic Diocese of Keimoes. On February 8, 1985, it was given its present name: Diocese of Keimoes – Upington. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apostolic Vicariate of Orange River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
