Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Marseille The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Marseille is a metropolitan archdiocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in France . The Archepiscopal see is in the city of Marseille, and the diocese comprises the arrondissement of Marseille , a subdivision of the department of Bouches-du-Rhône in the Region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur .History The Church of Marseille was erected in the 1st century, by St. Lazarus, the young man mentioned in the Gospels who had been raised from the dead by Jesus Christ himself. His family migrated to Provence at some point after the Resurrection.Revolution The diocese of Marseille was abolished during the French Revolution , under the Civil Constitution of the Clergy . Its territory was subsumed into the new diocese, called the 'Bouches-du-Rhone', which was part of the Metropolitanate called the 'Metropole des Côtes de la Méditerranée. The electors of 'Bouches-du-Rhone' met at Aix beginning on 19 February 1791, and on 23 February elected Abbé Charles Benoît Roux, curé of Eyragues near Arles. He was consecrated in Paris by Constitutional Bishops Gobel, Miroudot and Gouttes. He very much enjoyed the social life of Marseille, but after the execution of Louis XVI on 21 January 1793, Roux joined the counter-revolutionaries. When Marseille was occupied by troops of the Convention, he fled to Aix. He was arrested and imprisoned on 20 September ; he was taken to Marseille, where he faced a tribunal of the Revolution which condemned him to death. He was executed on 5 April 1794.The diocese was raised to the level of an Archdiocese on 31 January 1948 by Pope Pius XII . The suffragans of the archdiocese are: the Archdiocese of Aix , the Diocese of Ajaccio , the Archdiocese of Avignon , the Diocese of Digne , the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon , the Diocese of Gap , and the Diocese of Nice . In recent times the Archdiocese of Marseille has suffered from significant shortage of priests , despite having a reported Catholic population of over 700,000 not a single priest was ordained in 2018 or 2019.Bishops and Archbishops of Marseille to 1000 Oresius Proculus Venerius Eustasius Graecus Honoratus Cannatus Theodorus Serenus Petrus of Marseille Abdalong Maurontus Yvo Wadalus Theobertus Alboin Litiduinus Berengarius Drogon Pons1000–1500 Pons Raymond Raymond de Soliers Pierre Fulco de Thorame Rainier Pierre de Montlaur Benoît d'Aligan, O.S.B.
