Roman Catholic Bishop of Lindisfarne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Catholic Diocese of Lindisfarne is a titular see of the Catholic Church.

History

[edit]

The diocese existed as a regular see from the seventh century until Bishop Aldhun moved it to Durham in 995.

In 1970, the Pope Paul VI revived it as the name of a titular see (Latin: Lindisfarna). The first three officeholders served as auxiliary bishops in the Diocese of Westminster. The fourth is an apostolic nuncio and was granted the personal title of archbishop. As of 2024, all titular Bishops of Lindisfarne have been British or Irish.
