Archbishop of Spalatro Roman Catholic Archdiocese Split Makarska archdiocese Latin Rite Roman Catholic church Croatia religion
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Split-Makarska is an archdiocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic church in Croatia. The diocese was established in 3 century AD and was made archidiocese and metropolitan see in 10 century. Modern diocese was erected in 1828, when the historical archdiocese of Salona was combined with the Diocese of Makarska. It was elevated as an archdiocese and metropolitan see in 1969, restoring the earlier status of the archdiocese of Split, as it is also known. The diocese was also known as Spalato-Macarsca. Its suffragans are the Diocese of Dubrovnik (Ragusa), Diocese of Hvar (-Brac e Vis), Diocese of Kotor (Cattaro), and the Diocese of Šibenik (Knin) Forty-seven bishops of Salona are known: Saint Domnius is patron saint of Archidiocese and city of Split. Hesychius III is mentioned in the twentieth book of Augustine of Hippo's De Civitate Dei; an epistle from Pope Gelasius I is addressed to Honorius; Honorius III conducted a synod in 530; Natalis at a Council in 590, unjustly deposed his archdeacon Honoratus, but Gregory the Great took the latter's part. In 639 Salona was destroyed by the Slavs. In 647 the city of Spalato (now Split) began to arise from the ruins of Salona, and after an interregnum of eleven years its archbishops took over the territory of the archbishops of Salona. Out of the long series of its seventy-nine archbishops may be mentioned St. Rayner (d. 1180), and the unfortunate Marcus Antonius de Dominis, who was deprived of his office after having filled it for fourteen years and died an apostate at Rome in 1624; Thomas, who resigned his office voluntarily (thirteenth century), is the author of a history of the bishops of Salona and Spalato.
