History
Through a misinterpretation of Acts 27:13, St. Paul was said to have preached the Gospel at Reggio Calabria, and to have consecrated his companion, St. Stephen, bishop. The first bishop known is Mark, legate of Pope Sylvester at the Council of Nicaea (325).
Other bishops:
*St. Sisinnius (536), mentioned in the "Acts of St. Placidus";
*John, legate of Pope Agathus at the Sixth Council (680);
*St. Cyrillus (749);
*Leontius, follower of Photius (869);
*St. Eusebius (d. 916).
When all Southern Italy was united to the Patriarchate of Constantinople, Reggio became a metropolitan see with thirteen suffragans, and followed the Greek Rite, which was changed to the Gallican Rite after the Norman Conquest; Archbishop Ricciulli adopted the Roman Rite in 1580. The Greek Rite, however, remained in force in the church of Santissima Maria della Cattolica, built by King Roger, and governed by a protopope with a numerous Greek clergy. Questions of jurisdiction caused frequent controversies with the archbishop. About 1600 Archbishop Annibale degli Afflitti suppressed the Greek Rite in that church, and the entire diocese now follows the Roman Rite.
Other bishops:
*Rangerio (1192);
*Fra Gentile (1279), Franciscan;
*Pietro Filomarino (1404);
*Antonio Ricci (1453), restorer of the cathedral;
*Gerolamo Centelles (1529), reformer of ecclesiastical discipline;
*Gaspare Ricciulli (1560), at the Council of Trent, rebuilt the cathedral which had been destroyed by the Turks;
*Mariano Ricciardi (1855-71), exiled after the annexation of the Kingdom of Naples;
*Cardinal Gennaro Portanova (1888). [ [http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/drecb.html "Catholic Hierarchy" page] ]
