The '''[[Diocese]] of [[Segorbe]]-[[Castellón de la Plana|Castellón]]''' ([[Latin language|Latin]], ''Segobiensis''; ''Castellionensis'', {{lang-va|Diòcesi de Sogorb-Castelló}}) is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory located in north-eastern [[Spain]], in the [[Provinces of Spain|province]] of [[Castellón (province)|Castellón]], part of the [[autonomous communities of Spain|autonomous community]] of [[Valencia (autonomous community)|Valencia]]. The diocese forms part of the [[ecclesiastical province]] of [[Ecclesiastical province of Valencia|Valencia]], and is thus [[suffragan]] to the [[Archdiocese of Valencia]].


In 1912 the diocese was bounded on the north by Castellón and Teruel, on the east by Castellón, on the south by Valencia, and on the west by Valencia and Teruel, had its jurisdiction in the [[Provinces of Spain|civil Provinces]] of [[Castellón (province)|Castellón]], [[Valencia (province)|Valencia]], [[Teruel (province)|Teruel]] and [[Cuenca (province)|Cuenca]].
The '''Diocese of Segorbe-Castellón''' ({{langx|la|Dioecesis Segobricensis-Castillionensis}}; {{langx|ca-valencia|Diòcesi de Sogorb-Castelló}}) is a [[Latin Church]] [[diocese]] of the [[Catholic Church]] located in north-eastern [[Spain]], in the [[Provinces of Spain|province]] of [[Castellón (province)|Castellón]], part of the [[autonomous communities of Spain|autonomous community]] of [[Valencia (autonomous community)|Valencia]]. The diocese forms part of the [[ecclesiastical province]] of Valencia, and is thus [[suffragan]] to the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Valencia in Spain|Archdiocese of Valencia]].

The [[cathedral of Sgorbe]], once a [[mosque]], has been completely rebuilt in such a manner that it preserves no trace of Arab architecture. It is connected by a bridge with the old episcopal palace. Its time-stained tower and its cloister are built on a trapezoidal ground-plan. The church was reconsecrated in 1534, and in 1795 the nave was lengthened, and new altars added, in the episcopate of [[Lorenzo Gómez de Haedo]].

The seminary is in the Jesuit college given by king [[Charles III of Spain|Carlos III]]. The convents of the [[Dominican Order|Dominicans]], [[Franciscans]], the [[Augustinian]] nuns, and the [[Carthusian|Charterhouse]] (Cartuja) of Valdecristo have been converted to secular uses.


==History==
==History==
No name of any Bishop of Segorbe is known earlier than Proculus, who signed in the [[Third Council of Toledo]] (589). Porcarius assisted at the [[Council of Gundemar]] (610); Antonius, at the [[Fourth Council of Toledo]] (633); Floridius, at the [[Seventh Council of Toledo|seventh]] (646); Eusicius, at the [[Ninth Council of Toledo|ninth]] (655) and [[Tenth Council of Toledo|tenth]] (656); Memorius, at the [[Eleventh Council of Toledo|eleventh]] (675) and [[Twelfth Council of Toledo|twelfth]] (681); Olipa, at the [[Thirteenth Council of Toledo|thirteenth]] (683); Anterius at the [[Fifteenth Council of Toledo|fifteenth]] (688) and [[Sixteenth Council of Toledo|sixteenth]] (693).
No name of any Bishop of Segorbe is known earlier than Proculus, who signed in the [[Third Council of Toledo]] (589). He was followed by a succession of bishop until Anterius, who attended the [[Fifteenth Council of Toledo|fifteenth]] (688) and the [[Sixteenth Council of Toledo|sixteenth]] (693). After this, there is no information of its bishops until the Arab invasion, when its church was converted into a [[mosque]].<ref name=Ruiz/>


In 1172 [[Pedro Ruiz de Azagra]], second son of the Lord of Estella, held the city of [[Albarracín]], and succeeded in establishing there a bishop. Pedro's refusal to recognise Aragonese sovereignty extended to his bishop, Martin, who refused to recognise the supremacy of the [[Bishop of Zaragoza]], though ordered to do so by the pope.<ref>Buresi, Pascal. ''La frontière entre chrétienté et Islam dans la pénisule Ibérique: du Tage à la Sierra Morena (fin XIe-milieu XIIIe siècle)''. (2004) Editions Publibook</ref> Instead, Martin swore allegiance to the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toledo|Metropolitan of Toledo]]. Four years later, Martin took instead the title of Bishop of [[Segorbe]].<ref name=obispado>[https://obsegorbecastellon.es/diocesis/nuestra-historia/ "Nuestra historia", Obispado Segorbe Castellon]</ref> This choice of name follows the ideology of the [[Reconquista|Reconquest]], according to which the bishops were simply restoring the old Christian entities only temporarily taken over by the [[Moors]]. In this way, the city of Albarracín became the seat of the bishops of Segorbe.
After this there are no information of its bishops until the Arab invasion, when its church was converted into a [[mosque]].


When Segorbe was conquered by the king [[James I of Aragon]] in 1245, the cathedral seat was relocated from Albarracín to Segorbe. There arose serious territorial disputes with the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Valencia in Spain|Archdiocese of Valencia]] which claimed rights over several churches in Segorbe. The Bishop of Valencia, [[Arnau of Peralta]], entered the church of Segorbe by force and expelled the prelate. The controversy being referred to [[Rome]], Rome agreed with the Bishop of Segorbe-Albarracín. In 1318 [[Pope John XXII]] raised the see of Zaragoza to an Archdiocese, with the diocese of Segorbe-Albarracín as a suffragan.<ref name=obispado/>
In 1172 [[Pedro Ruiz de Azagra]], son of the Lord of Estella, took the city of [[Albarracín]], and succeeded in establishing there a bishop (Martín), who took the title of Arcabricense, and afterwards that of Segobricense, thinking that Albarracín was nearer to the ancient ''Segobriga'' ([[Segorbe]]) than to ''[[Ercavica]]'' or ''[[Arcabrica]]''.


The [[Segorbe Cathedral|Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady of Segorbe]], once a [[mosque]], was reconsecrated in 1534,<ref>{{cite book|last=Villanueva|first=Jaime|title=Viage literario á iglesias de España : Le Publica con algunas observaciones|year=1804|publisher=Imprenta real|location=Madrid|pages=19|chapter-url=https://archive.org/stream/viageliterario34villuoft#page/n9/mode/2up|language=Spanish|volume=3-4|chapter=Restauracion de la moderna iglesia de Segorve}}</ref>
This choice of name follows the ideology of the [[Reconquista|Reconquest]], according to which the bishops were simply restoring the old Christian entities only temporarily taken over by the [[Moors]]. In this way, the city of Albarracín became the seat of the bishops of Segorbe.
and in 1795 the nave was lengthened, and new altars added, in the episcopate of Lorenzo Gómez de Haedo.Amadó,<ref name=Ruiz>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13684a.htm Ramón Ruiz. "Segorbe." The Catholic Encyclopedia] Vol. 13. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1912. 9 November 2022 {{PD-notice}}</ref>


In 1577, [[Pope Gregory XIII]], at the urging of [[Philip II of Spain]], separated Albarracín and Segorbe. The terms of the papal bull specified that Segorbe belonged to the Kingdom of Valencia and Albarracín to that of Aragón. The order was well received in Albarracín, but not in Segorbe. The new bishopric of Albarracín was proclaimed a suffragan of Zaragoza, while that of Segorbe was of Valencia.<ref name=obispado/>
When Segorbe was conquered by king [[James I of Aragon]] in 1245, its church was purified, and Jimeno, Bishop of Albarracín, took possession of it. The bishops of [[Archdiocese of Valencia|Valencia]] opposed this, and [[Arnau of Peralta]], Bishop of Valencia, entered the church of Segorbe by force of arms. The controversy being referred to [[Rome]], and the bishops of Segorbe had part of their territory restored to them; but the [[Schism of the West]] supervened, and the status quo continued.


In 1960 the [[Episcopal see|see]] became the Diocese of Segorbe-Castellón. Following the ''De mutatione finium Dioecesium Valentinae-Segorbicensis-Dertotensis'' decree, of 31 May 1960, the parishes belonging to the [[Province of València]] were dismembered and aggregated to the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Valencia in Spain|Archdiocese of Valencia]]. On the other hand, the [[Nules]], [[Vila-real]], [[Castelló de la Plana]], [[Lucena, Córdoba|Lucena]] and [[Albocàsser]] parishes that had belonged to the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Tortosa]] were aggregated to the Diocese of Segorbe-Castellón along with the parish of [[Betxí]].
In 1571 [[Francisco Soto Salazar]] being bishop, the [[Diocese of Albarracín]] was separated from Segorbe.


==Present day==
Eminent among the bishops of Segorbe was [[Juan Bautista Pérez Rubert]], who exposed the fraudulent chronicles. In modern times [[Domingo Canubio y Alberto]], the [[Dominican Order|Dominican]], and [[Francisco Aguilar]], author of various historical works, are worthy of mention.
The Cathedral was elevated to the rank of [[minor basilica]] in 1985.<ref>{{cite web|title=Catedral de la Asunción de la Virgen|url=http://www.gcatholic.org/churches/spain/1183.htm}}</ref> Its time-stained tower and its cloister are built on a trapezoidal ground plan. It is connected by a bridge with the old episcopal palace. The Cathedral Museum is located in the upper cloister and its adjacent rooms.<ref>[http://www.spainisculture.com/en/museos/castellon/museo_catedralicio_de_segorbe.html "Segorbe Cathedral Museum", ''Spain is Culture'', Ministry of Culture and Sport]</ref>

In 1912 the city of [[Castellón de la Plana]], though the capital of the [[Provinces of Spain|province]] of [[Castellón (province)|Castellón]], had no [[episcopal see]]: by the [[Concordat of 1851]] the [[Diocese of Tortosa|See of Tortosa]], to which diocese a large part of the [[Castellón (province)|province]] belonged, was to be transferred to it.

In 1960 the [[Episcopal see|see]] became the Diocese of Segorbe-Castellón. Following the ''De mutatione finium Dioecesium Valentinae-Segorbicensis-Dertotensis'' decree, of 31 May 1960, the parishes belonging to the [[Province of València]] were dismembered and aggregated to the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Valencia|Archdiocese of Valencia]]. On the other hand the [[Nules]], [[Vila-real]], [[Castelló de la Plana]], [[Lucena, Córdoba|Lucena]] and [[Albocàsser]] parishes that had belonged to the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Tortosa]] were aggreagted to the Diocese of Segorbe-Castellón along with the parish of [[Betxí]]. [[Francoist]] propaganda presented the changes as an occasion for rejoicing.

The Diocese of Segorbe-Castellón (Latin: Dioecesis Segobricensis-Castillionensis; Valencian: Diòcesi de Sogorb-Castelló) is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church located in north-eastern Spain, in the province of Castellón, part of the autonomous community of Valencia. The diocese forms part of the ecclesiastical province of Valencia, and is thus suffragan to the Archdiocese of Valencia.

History

[edit]

No name of any Bishop of Segorbe is known earlier than Proculus, who signed in the Third Council of Toledo (589). He was followed by a succession of bishop until Anterius, who attended the fifteenth (688) and the sixteenth (693). After this, there is no information of its bishops until the Arab invasion, when its church was converted into a mosque.[1]

In 1172 Pedro Ruiz de Azagra, second son of the Lord of Estella, held the city of Albarracín, and succeeded in establishing there a bishop. Pedro's refusal to recognise Aragonese sovereignty extended to his bishop, Martin, who refused to recognise the supremacy of the Bishop of Zaragoza, though ordered to do so by the pope.[2] Instead, Martin swore allegiance to the Metropolitan of Toledo. Four years later, Martin took instead the title of Bishop of Segorbe.[3] This choice of name follows the ideology of the Reconquest, according to which the bishops were simply restoring the old Christian entities only temporarily taken over by the Moors. In this way, the city of Albarracín became the seat of the bishops of Segorbe.

When Segorbe was conquered by the king James I of Aragon in 1245, the cathedral seat was relocated from Albarracín to Segorbe. There arose serious territorial disputes with the Archdiocese of Valencia which claimed rights over several churches in Segorbe. The Bishop of Valencia, Arnau of Peralta, entered the church of Segorbe by force and expelled the prelate. The controversy being referred to Rome, Rome agreed with the Bishop of Segorbe-Albarracín. In 1318 Pope John XXII raised the see of Zaragoza to an Archdiocese, with the diocese of Segorbe-Albarracín as a suffragan.[3]

The Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady of Segorbe, once a mosque, was reconsecrated in 1534,[4] and in 1795 the nave was lengthened, and new altars added, in the episcopate of Lorenzo Gómez de Haedo.Amadó,[1]

In 1577, Pope Gregory XIII, at the urging of Philip II of Spain, separated Albarracín and Segorbe. The terms of the papal bull specified that Segorbe belonged to the Kingdom of Valencia and Albarracín to that of Aragón. The order was well received in Albarracín, but not in Segorbe. The new bishopric of Albarracín was proclaimed a suffragan of Zaragoza, while that of Segorbe was of Valencia.[3]

In 1960 the see became the Diocese of Segorbe-Castellón. Following the De mutatione finium Dioecesium Valentinae-Segorbicensis-Dertotensis decree, of 31 May 1960, the parishes belonging to the Province of València were dismembered and aggregated to the Archdiocese of Valencia. On the other hand, the Nules, Vila-real, Castelló de la Plana, Lucena and Albocàsser parishes that had belonged to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tortosa were aggregated to the Diocese of Segorbe-Castellón along with the parish of Betxí.

Present day

[edit]

The Cathedral was elevated to the rank of minor basilica in 1985.[5] Its time-stained tower and its cloister are built on a trapezoidal ground plan. It is connected by a bridge with the old episcopal palace. The Cathedral Museum is located in the upper cloister and its adjacent rooms.[6]
