- Roman Catholic Diocese of Cerreto Sannita-Telese-Sant’Agata de’ Goti
-
The Italian Catholic diocese of Cerreto Sannita-Telese-Sant'Agata de' Goti, in Campania, Italy, has existed since 1986, when the diocese of Sant'Agata de' Goti was united into the historical diocese of Telese o Cerreto Sannita. The diocese is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Benevento.[1]
History
The first bishop of Telese mentioned is Agnellus (487). Having fallen into decay, the town was rebuilt in the ninth century. From the tenth century it was subject to the Archbishop of Benevento.
In 1612 Bishop Gian Francesco Leoni (1508) transferred the episcopal residence to Cerreto Sannita. In 1818 the see was united to the diocese of Piedimonte d'Alife[2], but it was re-established in 1852. Among its bishops were:
- Alberico Giacquinto (1540);
- Angelo Massarelli (1567), secretary of the Council of Trent, of which he wrote the acts and a diary;
- Vincenzo Lupoli (1792), a jurist.[3]
