Roman Catholic Diocese of Moulins
- Roman Catholic Diocese of Moulins
-
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Moulins, is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic church in France. The episcopal see is located in the city of Moulins. The diocese comprises all of the department of Allier in the region of Auvergne. The diocese was created in 1788, but the new bishop, although appointed, had not been recognised before the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789. The current bishop is Pascal Roland, appointed in 2003.
Under the Concordat of 11 June 1817 the diocese was re-established, from parts of the dioceses of Autun, Bourges, and Clermont-Ferrand, to cover the department of Allier. The first bishop was appointed in 1822, and in the same year the medieval collegiate church at Moulins was established as Moulins Cathedral, the seat of the diocese.
