Roman Catholic Diocese of Citong
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Citong was a short-lived (1313-1370?) Latin Catholic Diocese in Mongol-imperial China.
History
It was established in 1313 as Diocese of Citong 刺桐 alias Quanzhou 泉州 (中文), Zaitun or Zayton, on territory split off from the then Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Khanbalik (precursor of Peking) within the empire of the Mongol Great Khan.
About 1370 it was suppressed, without formal successor.
