The Archdiocese of São Paulo ((ラテン語:Archidioecesis Sancti Pauli in Brasilia)) is a Latin Metropolitan Archbishopric of the Roman Catholic Church in Brazil. The Archdiocese is currently headed by Odilo Scherer since his appointment by Pope Benedict XVI on 21 March 2007, an appointment that ended almost four decades of Franciscan leadership in the archdiocese: both predecessors, Cardinals Paulo Evaristo Arns and Cláudio Hummes, belonged to that Order. Its cathedral episcopal see, the Catedral Metropolitana Nossa Senhora da Assunção e São Paulo, in the metropolis São Paulo, was dedicated to the Assumption of Mary on September 5, 1964. The city also has three minor basilicas : Basílica de Nossa Senhora da Assunção, Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Carmo (both also Marian) and Basílica do Santíssimo Sacramento (dedicated to the Hly Sacrament). == History == * The Diocese of São Paulo was erected by Pope Benedict XIV on 6 December 1745, on vast territory split off from the then Diocese of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro. * It lost territories on 1892.04.27 to establish the Diocese of Curitiba and on 1907.09.08 to establish the Diocese of Campanha. * It became a Metropolitan Archdiocese on 7 June 1908, having lost more territories to establish the Dioceses of Botucatu, Campinas, Ribeirão Preto, São Carlos do Pinhal and Taubaté. * It lost further territories to establish more Dioceses : on 1924.07.04 Sorocaba and Santos, on 1925.07.24 Bragança Paulista, on 1954.07.18 Santo André, on 1958.04.19 Metropolitan Aparecida, on 1962.06.09 Diocese of Mogi das Cruzes, on 1966.11.07 Jundiaí and on 1989.03.15 the dioceses of Campo Limpo, Osasco, Santo Amaro and São Miguel Paulista. * It enjoyed papal visits from Pope John Paul II in July 1980 and Pope Benedict XVI in May 2007. 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「Roman Catholic Archdiocese of São Paulo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
