The Diocese of Tortosa is a Roman Catholic diocese in Catalonia and Valencian Country. It is a suffragan diocese of the Archdiocese of Tarragona.〔(Tortosa ) - Catholic Encyclopedia article〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Diocese of Tortosa )〕 Auxiliary Bishop Enrique Benavent Vidal of Valencia has been Bishop of Tortosa since 2013.〔http://www.bisbattortosa.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1555:mons-enrique-benavent-vidal-bisbe-electe-de-tortosa&catid=37:notes-dactualitat&Itemid=339〕〔http://attualita.vatican.va/sala-stampa/bollettino/2013/05/17/news/31004.html〕 ==History== The Diocese of Tortosa gives a certain foundation to an ancient historical region that, despite having no political representation, shares common historical, cultural and linguistic ties. This territory is known as Ilercavonia in academic and scientific circles.〔(La Ilercavònia encara és viva )〕 The territory of the historical Diocese of Tortosa was greatly reduced during General Franco's dictatorship, following the Concordat of 1953 between the Francoist regime and the Vatican. Under the pretext of adapting the dioceses to the civil provincial limits the Consistorial Congregation, bending to the wishes of the dictator,〔Stanley G. Payne, ''Franco's Spain'', London 1968〕 broke up the traditional region of the Diocese of Tortosa: *On the 2d September 1955, the ''Cesaraugustanae et aliarum'' decree of the Consistorial Congregation was published and the following year the parishes of Arenys de Lledó, Calaceit, Cretes and Lledó d'Algars in Matarranya, doing away with the traditional Aragonese parishes of the Diocese of Tortosa. Meanwhile, Betxí, an enclave of the Diocese of Teruel, was briefly added (1956-1960) to the Diocese of Tortosa and Maials was transferred to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lleida. *Following the ''De mutatione finium Dioecesium Valentinae-Segorbicensis-Dertotensis'' decree, of 31 May 1960, the parishes of Nules, Vila-real, Castelló de la Plana, Lucena and Albocàsser that had historically belonged to the Diocese of Tortosa were aggregated to the Diocese of Segorbe-Castellón along with the parish of Betxí. Francoist propaganda presented the changes as an occasion for rejoicing. 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 Diocese of Tortosa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
