[edit] Previous Bishops
Ruth Harris' book provides some details about past bishops; more details would be welcome. It is possible that this list (Laurence, Schoepfer, Choquet, Theas, Perrier) is complete since the apparitions, but this is far from certain. Preacherdoc (talk) 14:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- I was wrong. There have been loads of other bishops. The Catholic Hierarchy website [1] gives details of all the bishops since 1692, and I have included these. Some bishops died in office and I have indicated this. Occasionally a successor was appointed immediately (indicated); sometimes there was a delay of several months before a successor was appointed. Some bishops were appointed elsewhere (sometimes after only a short time); some retired from office.
- There is a gap in the chronology from 1782 to 1817, which the Catholic Hierarchy website does not explain, except to note that the diocese was "suppressed" in 1801 and "restored" in 1822.Preacherdoc (talk) 11:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
