Roman Catholic Diocese of Muro Lucano
The Latin Catholic diocese of Muro Lucano, in southern Italian region Basilicata, existed until 1986. In that year it was united into the archdiocese of Potenza-Muro Lucano-Marsico Nuovo.[1] [2]
History
The first Bishop of Muro Lucano of whom there is mention was Leo (1049). Its bishop Antonio (1376) became a partisan of the antipope Clement VII; he was therefore driven by Carlo of Durazzo to seek refuge at Polsino, whereupon Clement VII suppressed the Diocese of Muro. In 1418, however, Guiduccio de Porta was appointed to this see; he was learned in civil and canon law; among his successors were Flavio Orsini (1560), who became a Cardinal; the poet Gian Carlo Coppola (1643), who later became Bishop of Gallipoli, his native town; Alfonso Pacello (1674), founder of a congregation of priests for the care of the sick of the diocese. The see was suffragan of the archdiocese of Conza.[3]
