History
In the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, Cardicium, a Latinized form of the town's name, became a Latin Church diocese. The earlier existence of the bishopric is indicated in Notitiae episcopatuum of the 12th or 13th century as a suffragan of Larissa. A manuscript list indicates that there was a Greek bishop named John in 1191-1192.[2]
Lequien (II, 979) and Gams[3] mention five Latin bishops of the see, from 1208 to 1389, the first being Bartholomew, to whom many letters of Pope Innocent III are addressed[2] and who seems to have been the only residential Latin bishop.[4] The diocese is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[5]
Manuscript lists give the names of later Greek Orthodox Church bishops: Metrophanes, degraded in 1623; Gregorius or Cyrillus, 1623; Sophronius, 1646-1649; Gregorius, about 1700; Meletius, 1743; Paisius, 18th century; Gregorius, about 1852. When Thessaly was united with Greece (1881), the Greek Orthodox eparchy had been vacant since 1875 and was suppressed in 1899 through being absorbed into that of Phthiotis.[2]
