The Diocese of Porto and Santa-Rufina (Lat: ''Portuensis et Sanctae Rufinae'') is a suburbicarian see of the Holy Roman Church and a diocese of the Catholic Church in Italy. It was formed from the union of two suburbicarian sees of Rome. From 1967, the diocese has had both a titular Cardinal bishop, and a resident bishop who handles the diocesan business. ==Early Christian history of Porto== Porto was in ancient times Portus, the chief harbour of Rome. It owes its origin to the port built by Claudius on the right of the Tiber, opposite Ostia; Trajan enlarged the basin, and in a short time there grew around it a city which soon became independent of Ostia. It was near Porto that Julius Nepos compelled Emperor Glycerius to abdicate (474). During the Gothic War the town served the Goths (537 and 549) and the Byzantines (546-52) as a base of operations against Rome. In the 9th and 10th centuries it was sacked on several occasions by the Saracens. In 849 Pope Leo IV fortified it and established there a colony of Corsicans for the defence of the coast and the neighbouring territory; but the city continued to decay. Christianity was early established there. Several martyrs of Porto are known, including Herculanus, Hyacinthus, Martialis, Saturninus Epictetus, Maprilis and Felix. The place was also famous as the probable see of St. Hippolytus. In 314 Gregorius was bishop. The great ''xenodochium'', or hospice, of Pammachius was built about 370. Among the other bishops should be mentioned *Donatus (date uncertain), who built the basilica of St. Eutropius *Felix, a contemporary of Gregory the Great *Joannes, legate to the Sixth General Council (680) *Gregorius, who accompanied Pope Constantine to Constantinople (710) *Gregorius II (743-61) *Citonatus, present at the consecration of the antipope Constantine (767) *Giovanni (797)〔(The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church - Creations of Cardinals of the 9th Century )〕 *Stephano (826)〔 *Radoaldus (853).〔 He acted contrary to his instructions on the occasion of the difficulties with Photius at Constantinople (862), and who was deposed for having prevaricated in connexion with the divorce of Lothair II of Lorraine *Formosus (864),〔(The Ecole Glossary )〕 who became pope (891) *Walpert (876)〔 *Valentino (883)〔 *Silvestro (891-898)〔 *Crisogno (after 904)〔(The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church - Creations of Cardinals of the 10th Century )〕 *Costantino (958)〔(The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church - Creations of Cardinals of the 10th Century )〕 *Benedictus (963-964 and again 967-969),〔(The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church - Creations of Cardinals of the 10th Century )〕 who consecrated the antipope Leo VIII *Gregorio (985-994),〔(The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church - Creations of Cardinals of the 10th Century )〕 who built the irrigation system of the territory of the diocese *Benedetto (998-1029)〔Source for the period 1029-1130: Hüls, ''Kardinäle, Klerus und Kirchen Roms: 1049-1130'', p. 117-124.〕 *Giovanni (1036–1050) *Rolando (ca.1050/57) *Giovanni (1057–1089), joined the obedience of antipope Clement III in 1084 *Giovanni (1087–1095) *Mauritius (1097–1101), sent by Pope Paschal II to establish order in religious affairs in the Holy Land *Callistus II (1119–24), who united to the See of Porto the other suburbicarian See of Silva Candida or Santa Rufina. 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「Suburbicarian Diocese of Porto e Santa Rufina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
