The Archdiocese of Siena-Colle di Val d'Elsa-Montalcino (Latin: Archidioecesis Senensis-Collensis-Ilcinensis) is a Latin Church archdiocese of the Catholic Church in Tuscany. The seat of the archbishop is the Cathedral of the Assumption in Siena. Until 1459, the diocese was immediately subject to the Holy See (Papacy), and its bishops attended the Roman synods. In 1459, Pope Pius II made Siena a metropolitan archbishopric.

History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (January 2020)

From September 1407 to January 1408, Siena played host to the papal Court of Pope Gregory XII of the Roman Obedience.

In 1423, Siena was host to what was announced as a general council of the Church. Such meetings had been mandated by the Council of Constance, and, though Pope Martin V was most reluctant to have another council like Pisa or Constance, he authorized the assembly to meet in Pavia in the Spring of 1423. On 22 June, however, alleging the presence of the pestilence in Pavia, the Pope transferred the council to Siena. On 21 July 1423 the Council reopened in Siena, though there was only one general session, on 8 November. Work continued until the papal legates dissolved the council on 26 February 1424, though the papal bull of dissolution was not published until 12 March.

When Enea Silvio Bartolomeo Piccolomini, who was born near the town and served as bishop of Siena since 1450, got elected as Pope Pius II in 1458, he soon issued the bull "Triumphans Pastor" (22 April 1459), in which he raised the diocese of Siena to metropolitan status, and assigned to it as suffragans the dioceses of Soano, Chiusi, Massa, and Grosseto.

Consolidation

The Second Vatican Council, in order to ensure that all Catholics received proper spiritual attention, decreed the reorganization of the diocesan structure of Italy and the consolidation of small and struggling dioceses.

In 1980, the diocese of Montalcino claimed a Catholic population of 24,500 persons. Colle di Val d'Elsa had slightly over 60,000.

On 18 February 1984, the Vatican and the Italian State signed a new and revised concordat. Based on the revisions, a set of Normae was issued on 15 November 1984, which was accompanied in the next year, on 3 June 1985, by enabling legislation. According to the agreement, the practice of having one bishop govern two separate dioceses at the same time, aeque personaliter, was abolished. This made the combining of Montalcino and Colle di Val d'Elsa under one bishop infeasible. Instead, the Vatican continued consultations which had begun under Pope John XXIII for the merging of small dioceses, especially those with personnel and financial problems, into one combined diocese. On 30 September 1986, Pope John Paul II ordered that the dioceses of Montalcino and Colle be merged with the diocese of Siena, into one diocese with one bishop, with the Latin title Archidioecesis Senensis-Collensis-Ilcinensis. The seat of the diocese was to be in Siena, and the cathedral of Siena was to serve as the cathedral of the merged dioceses. The cathedrals in Montalcino and Colle were to become co-cathedrals, and the cathedral Chapters were to be a Capitulum Concathedralis. There was to be only one diocesan Tribunal, in Siena, and likewise one seminary, one College of Consultors, and one Priests' Council. The territory of the new diocese was to include the territory of the former dioceses of Montalcino and of Colle.

Synods

A provincial synod was an irregularly summoned meeting of the Metropolitan Archbishop of an ecclesiastical province with his suffragan bishops and other prelates, for the purpose of legislating for and reforming the collection of dioceses which belonged to the synod. A diocesan synod was an irregularly held, but important, meeting of the bishop of a diocese and his clergy. Its purpose was (1) to proclaim generally the various decrees already issued by the bishop; (2) to discuss and ratify measures on which the bishop chose to consult with his clergy; (3) to publish statutes and decrees of the diocesan synod, of the provincial synod, and of the Holy See.

Cardinal Francesco Maria Tarugi (1597–1607), Archbishop of Siena, presided over a provincial synod in Siena in 1599, and published the decrees of the assembly.

Archbishop Giuseppe Mancini (1824–1855) held a provincial synod in Siena from 30 June to 7 July 1850. The sessions were attended by four suffragan bishops (Massa e Populonia, Sovana e Pitigliano, Grosseto, and Chiusi e Pienza) as well as two bishops directly dependent upon the Holy See (Arezzo, Montepulciano). The decrees of the synod were published.

In its decree Christus Dominus, section 22, it stated: "Concerning diocesan boundaries, therefore, this sacred synod decrees that, to the extent required by the good of souls, a fitting revision of diocesan boundaries be undertaken prudently and as soon as possible. This can be done by dividing dismembering or uniting them, or by changing their boundaries, or by determining a better place for the episcopal see or, finally, especially in the case of dioceses having larger cities, by providing them with a new internal organization.... At the same time the natural population units of people, together with the civil jurisdictions and social institutions that compose their organic structure, should be preserved as far as possible as units. For this reason, obviously, the territory of each diocese should be continuous."

  14. Optatus of Milevis, Contra Parmenianam Donatistam, mentions a "Florianus a Sinna" who was present at the Roman synod of 306. Learned scholars have assigned him to Senigaglia, Senia in Dalmatia, Segni in Latium, Siscia in Illyricum, Aesinus (Jesi), Caesena, and Siena in Tuscany.

  15. Pecci, pp. 2-3, believes that Dodo is a barbarian name, and consequently not that of a bishop of Siena in the 5th century. Pecci: "Io però mi avanzerei più facilmente acredere, col parere del dottissimo Signor Dott. Giovanni Lami, che la voce Dodone possa derivare dalle Nazioni barbare, e per conseguenza un Vescovo di tal nome in quel secolo non abbia occupata la Sede di Siena." Lanzoni, p. 567, italicizes the name, as doubtful.
  16. Bishop Eusebius was present at the Roman synod of Pope Hilarius which met in S. Maria Maggiore on 17 November 465. J.-D. Mansi, Sacrorum Conciliorum nova et amplissima collectio, editio novissima, Tomus VII (Florence: A. Zatta 1762), p. 959. Ughelli, p. 528, is wrong in naming the council as the Council of Chalcedon.
  17. Ughelli, p. 528, places Magnus in 520, on the authority of Tizio. Pecci, pp. 3-4, places the authentic Magnus in the 8th century. Lanzoni, p. 567, italicizes the name, as doubtful.
  18. Ughelli, p. 528, believes that this Maurus is not the bishop of Volterra, despite the fact that he consecrated two churches in that diocese. Pecci, pp. 4-5. Lanzoni, p. 567, believes that this Maurus is the same as the genuine Maurus, attested in 649. Lanzoni, p. 567, italicizes the name, as doubtful.
  19. Lanzoni, p. 567, rejects the name and the person: "Eegistrato dall' Ughelli (III, 528) nell'anno 597, per altro il suo nome è altamente sospetto; o è spurio o dev'essere abbassato dopo il 604."

  28. Lupus' date is unattested. There are no documents beyond the 15th century episcopal list, which is riddled with duplicate names and other errors. Pecci, p. 10-11.
  29. Pecci, p. 12, notes that there are no sources for Causivius, and that his alleged date conflicts with the known tenure of Bishop Adeodatus.

  38. Perteus may be the correct reading of the name of the bishop who attended the Roman synod of Pope Eugenius II. J.-D. Mansi, Sacrorum Conciliorum nova et amplissima collectio, editio novissima, Tomus XIV (Venice: A. Zatta 1769), p. 999. Pecci, pp. 62-63. Cappelletti, pp. 402-403.

In 850, Bishop Concio (or Cancio) was present at a Roman synod presided over by Pope Leo IV and the Emperor Lothair, in which his case with the bishop of Arezzo was heard. He was present at the Roman synod of Pope Leo IV on 8 December 853, in which Anastasius, Cardinal priest of S. Marcello, was excommunicated and deposed. J.-D.

  42. this Gerardus is known only by a single document, which does not survive, and whose authenticity has been questioned. Pecci, p. 85. Cappelletti, p. 412.
  43. The name is dubious, unattested. Pecci, p. 86: "si accordano tutti i Cronologisti a riferire, che presedesse al governo del Clero Sanefe nell' 864, ma non adducono testimonianza di alcuna sorta di scritture."
  44. The authority for Ansifredus is a book published in 1506 by Bartolomeo Benevolentius, in which Ansifredus is said to have sought certain relics from Pope Stephen VIII c. 940. When his book was translated into Italian by Fabius Benevolentius, Fabius pointed out that Stephen VIII lived c. 1046. Ughelli, p. 531-532. Ansifredus is passed over in silence by Pecci and by Gams.
  45. Ubertino is known only from the statement of Ughelli, p. 532, who gives only the name and a date; others repeat his statement. Pecci, p. 93, is wary of the lack of any detail: "si riporta coll' autorità dell' Ughelli, del Padre Isidoro Ugurgieri, e di altri Cronologisti all' anno 900; ma non descrivono del medesimo particolarità, nè citano autorità alcuna."
  46. Egidius is rejected by Pecci, p. 93: "Egidio è dato per Pastore al Gregge della Chieaa di Siena nel 906; ma neppure di esso citano gli Scrittori autorità di documenti. He is included in Gams' list, at p. 752 column 1.
  47. A document referring to Bishop Theodericus and subscribed by him is dated either 913 or 915, depending on the computation of the 26th year of the reign of King Berengar, who issued the document. Pecci, pp. 93–96, quotes the document in full.
  48. Bishop Gerardus (or Gherardus) is known only from a document dated July 946. Schwartz, p. 223. The document is quoted and discussed by Pecci, pp. 96–98.
  49. Schwartz, p. 223, italicizes his name: "Beide von Ughelli und Pecci (Storia del vescovado di Siena 98) ohne Belege genannt.
  50. A bishop of Siena appears to have been present at the conciliabulum of 963, which sought to depose Pope John XII. His name, however, was not Pisanus; that has been explained as a copyist's error, who mistook the name of a diocese (Pisa) for the name of a person as he was transcribing the work of Liutprand of Cremona. Such is the explanation put forth in Ughelli III, p. 532, in the note criticizing Ughelli. Other manuscripts give the name Stephanus: J.-D. Mansi, Sacrorum Conciliorum nova et amplissima collectio, editio novissima, Tomus XVIII (Venice: A. Zatta 1773), p. 465. Pecci, p. 100.
  51. Ughelli, p. 532, remarks: "Sed Lucido huic, nullum reperi scriptorem, qui aliquam lucem temporis, quo floruerit, adferret, sed reponitur post Pisanum ante Adeodatum II." Pecci, p. 101, is equally without resources. Gams, p. 752, omits his name entirely from his list of Bishops of Siena.

  53. Schwartz, p. 221, note 1, reports grave suspicion as to the authenticity of his single signature: "Giselbertus nur 1. Dezember 1012 in den sehr verdächtigen Unterschriften einer Bulle Benedikts VIII. für Urgel (J.-L. 3993) genannt...."
  54. Bishop Leo was present at the Roman synod of Pope John XIX on 6 April 1027. J.-D. Mansi, Sacrorum Conciliorum nova et amplissima collectio, editio novissima, Tomus XIX (Venice: A. Zatta 1774), p. 479. Cappelletti, p. 420. Schwartz, p. 222.
  55. Bishop Adalbertus was present at the Roman synod of Pope Benedict IX on 2 November 1036, but, according to Schwartz and others there cited (p. 222, note 1), he was bishop of Sena Gallia (Sinigaglia). Mansi, Tomus XIX, p. 582. Ughelli III, p. 535. Pecci, pp. 110-111.

  57. Bishop Roffredus was present at the Roman synod of Pope Nicholas II. Mansi, Tomus XIX, p. 911 (The manuscripts also give his name as Nofredus, and Roffredus as bishop of Ateste; at p. 919 one finds "Joannes Senensis"). Pecci, p. 124.

  60. Gualfredus (Gaufridus) is first found on 6 February 1108 at the transfer of the remains of S. Ansanus. He died on 24 July 1127. Ughelli, p. 540-543. Pecci, p. 141–149. Schwartz, p. 223. Ughelli says that he was present at the council of 22 October 1106 of Pope Paschal II at Guastalla. This is not confirmed by the evidence; see: Uta-Renate Blumenthal (1978). The Early Councils of Pope Paschal II, 1100–1110. Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies. p. 42. ISBN 978-0-88844-043-3. In March 1123, he was present at the Lateran synod of Pope Calixtus II: Kehr III, p. 202, no. 21. On 30 March 1124, the pope assigned the eighteen controversial parishes to Bishop Gualfredus: Kehr, p. 202, no. 25. On 8 March 1125, the new pope, Honorius II, heard the appeal between Gualfredus and the bishop of Arezzo: Kehr, p. 203, no. 29.

  62. On 25 October 1174 and on 22 June 1176, Gunteramus was still bishop-elect: Kehr III, p. 205, nos. 39–41. On 28 January 1188, Pope Clement III confirmed the privileges of the diocese and bishop of Siena for Bishop Gunteramus: Kehr, p. 206, no. 44. He died on 13 December 1188. Ughelli III, pp. 547–551. Pecci, pp. 169–184.
  63. Master Bonus had been a Canon of the cathedral of Siena. On 20 April 1189, Pope Clement III confirmed the privileges of the Church of Siena for Bishop Bonus. On 5 November 1189, Bishop Bonus participated in the consecration of the church of S. Spirito in the abbey of Torri. Bonus (Bono) died on 25 October 1215. Pecci, pp. 184–196. Kehr, p. 206, no. 45.

  65. Tommaso was a Roman, who had studied at the Dominican convent of Santa Sabina on the Aventine. He had been bishop-elect of Cephalonia, according to Eubel. He was appointed bishop of Siena on 13 December 1253 by Pope Innocent IV. Tommaso died in 1273 (not as Gams, p. 752, has it, dying in 1254 and being succeeded by Tommaso Balzetti; they are the same person); his successor was appointed on 12 June 1273. Pecci, pp. 216–228. Cappelletti, p. 469. Eubel I, p. 446.
  66. In 1265, Bernardus was a papal chaplain. Bernardus was confirmed as Bishop of Siena by Pope Gregory X on 2 June 1273. Bernardus died in 1281, after 29 August. Pecci, pp. 228–238. Eubel I, pl. 446.
  67. Raynaldus, a Canon of the cathedral of Siena, was elected by the cathedral Chapter on 12 September 1281 (Pecci, p. 230), and confirmed by Pope Martin IV on 16 November 1282. He died on 8 June 1307. Pecci, pp. 239–250. Eubel I, p. 446.
  68. A native of the village of Casule, Rogerius was appointed Bishop of Siena on 14 May 1307 by Pope Clement V. He was serving as papal Vicar of Rome when he died on 7 June 1316 (not 1317, as Ughelli, p. 562, has it). Pecci, pp. 251–265. Eubel I, p. 446.
  69. Bishop Donusdei's correct name is given in contemporary documents quoted by Pecci, pp. 265–274. He held the degree of Doctor in utroque iure. A Canon of the cathedral of Siena, he was elected by the cathedral Chapter in a contest with Canon Bindo, but was provided (appointed) by Pope John XXII on 23 May 1317, when the matter was submitted to the papal court. He made his last Will and Testament on 5 December 1350. Ughelli, pp. 562–563. Eubel I, p. 446.
  70. Azzolino was a Canon of the cathedral of Siena. He was elected, but also provided by Pope Clement VI on 22 October 1351. He died on 1 January 1371. Eubel I, p. 446.
  71. Jacobus held the degree of Doctor of Canon Law, and was Auditor Causarum (judge) in the papal court. Pecci, pp. 274–282. Eubel I, p. 446.
  72. A Gascon, Guglielmo had previously been Bishop of Comachio. He was elected Bishop of Siena on 16 December 1371, and confirmed by Pope Gregory XI. He was employed by the pope, however, on a mission in Lombardy, and did not enter Siena until July 1373. The authorities report that he died in Siena in January 1377. Pecci, however, says that he became Bishop of Larino. Pecci, pp. 285–288.
