Roman Catholic titular see
The Catholic Archdiocese of Ephesus is a suppressed and
titular see of the
Roman Catholic Church
[1]
[2]
[3] (in Latin: Archidioecesis Ephesina). It is the
Catholic counterpart of the
Greek Orthodox
Metropolis of Ephesus , which is a
titular bishopric under
Patriarchate of Constantinople (in Greek: Μητρόπολις Εφέσου; Mitrópolis Efesou).
History
Both the Catholic and Orthodox churches lay claim to the
ancient
bishopric founded in the 1st century by
Saint Timothy .
[4]
Beginning in the 14th century,
[5]
[6] Ephesus was one of the archbishopric claimed by the Catholic Church, due in part to the Catholic Church involvement in the east Mediterranean.
The first known bishop was
Franciscan named Corrado
(fl 1318) whom
Le Quien called vir doctus et in linguis orientalis versatus .
[7]
On several occasions the bishopric was attributed to
bishops who later became
cardinals . The last Catholic holder was
Giovanni Enrico Boccella ,
[8]
[9]
emeritus bishop of
Smyrna , who died on 22 May 1992.
