The Roman Catholic Diocese of Pedena (Latin: Dioecesis Petinensis) was a Catholic diocese located in the town of Pedena (modern day Pićan) in the central part of Istria, Croatia, 12 km southeast of Pazin. Pedena is now the name of a Latin titular see.
History
editThe date of the establishment of the Diocese of Pedena (Italian) / Petina (Latin) / Pican (Croat) / Petinen(sis) (Latin adjective) cannot be discerned, based on current evidence.[1] It was in existence by the second half of the 6th century.
In 996, the Emperor Otto III confirmed the suffragan status of the diocese of Pedena with regard to the Patriarchate of Aquileia.[2]
On 2 April 1237, Pope Gregory IX wrote to the bishop of Emona (Cittanova) and the bishop-elect of Trieste, expressing his concern that the diocese of Aquileia was far too extensive for the patriarch to administer it adequately, particularly the eastern parts in the neighborhood of Hungary, in which he could not perform visitations. There were vacancies of pastors and people were dying without being anointed, or were suffering without having sufficient spiritual care, so that they were falling into error. The patriarch had suggested that the seat of the bishop of Pedena be moved to the monastery of Obremburch (Oberburgense, Ottemburg), which was directly subject to the Patriarchate. The two prelates were ordered to investigate the situation of Aquileia and of Pedena, to see whether a mutually agreeable solution to the problems could be worked out.[3] Nothing further is known, except that the seat of the diocese was not moved.
In 1766, the city of Pedena was inhabited by c. 200 Catholics. The entire diocese contained 24 loca. The cathedral of Pedena was dedicated to Saint Nicephorus (Nikefor). The new cathedral was built on its ruins in the 14th century, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It was staffed and administered by one dignity, the Archdeacon, and three canons, later reduced to two.[4] It is currently the parish church of the village, and Mass is celebrated in Old Church Slavonic.
From 1788, a series of administrative changes took place in northeastern Italy. The bishop of Pedena, Aldrago Antonin de Piccardi had been transferred to the diocese of Senj e Modruš (Croatia) on 14 February 1785, and was not replaced. On 20 August 1788, diocese of Pedena, was suppressed, and its territory was added to that of Gradisca.[5] Under pressure from Emperor Joseph II, Pope Pius VI then abolished the diocese of Trieste and Archdiocese of Gorizia in 1788, merging them into the new diocese of Gradisca.[6]
In 1969, the name "Pedena" was revived, as the name of a Titular Episcopal See.
