Diocese of Lanusei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Italian Catholic diocese of Lanusei is in Sardinia; before 1986 it was the diocese of Ogliastra. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Cagliari.^[1]

[edit] History

Ogliastra was formerly under the Archbishop of Cagliari. Pope Leo XII, at the petition of King Charles Felix of Sardinia, by a bull of 11 November, 1824, erected Ogliastra into a diocese, suffragan of Cagliari, with the Capuchin Serafino Carchero for its first bishop.

Tortoli, the episcopal seat, was in the district of Lanusei. Other bishops were:

• Giuseppe Paderi
• Emanuele Virgilio, previously Vicar-General of the diocese of Venosa.^[2]
