The diocese is now a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Rennes, Dol, and Saint-Malo, but had previously been suffragan to Bourges, Paris, Sens, and Tours (in ascending order).[timeframe?]Area[edit]The Diocese of Le Mans comprises the entire department of Sarthe, created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790, pursuant to the law of 22 December 1789; the province of Maine was divided into two departments, Sarthe to the east and Mayenne to the west. Prior to the French Revolution it comprised 636 parishes, and was one of the most extensive dioceses of France; at the time of the Concordat of 1801, it lost some parishes in Vendômois and Normandy, and acquired some in Anjou. The Diocese of Le Mans thereafter embraced 665 communes, up to 1855, when the department of Mayenne was detached to form the Diocese of Laval.History[edit]The origin of the Diocese of Le Mans has given rise to discussions concerning the value of the Gesta domni Aldrici, and of the Actus Pontificum Cenomannis in urbe degentium. Collectively called "the Le Mans forgeries",[1] they were compiled in the episcopal curia at Le Mans during the episcopate of Aldric (832-857). The counterfeit extends to early charters of the diocese, and to various saints' lives. Even the Testament of Bishop Aldric was falsified to fit the fraudsters' purposes: to inflate the bishop's authority, and entitlement to various properties within the diocese, including monasteries normally under the king. This applied especially to the Benedictine abbey at Saint-Calais. The various mendacious claims were thrown out at a Synod at Verberie[2] in 869, by both the king (Charles the Bald)[3] and the bishops and abbots he had assembled.[4]During the time of Bishop Bertrand in the last part of the sixth century, the diocese underwent a survey (pouillé). It too was corrupted and used by the ninth century forger of the Actus Pontificum Cenomannis in urbe degentium, rendering it useless. It names several parishes recently created in the ninth century among thirty four allegedly founded by St Julianus, one of the Seventy disciples.[5]The "Gesta"[6] relate that Bishop Aldric (ca. 800-857)[7] had the bodies of Saints Julianus, Turibius, Pavatius, Romanus, Liborius, and Hadoindus, first bishops of Mans, brought to his cathedral; the Acts make St. Julianus one of the seventy-two disciples of Christ and state that he arrived at Le Mans with two companions: Turibius, who became bishop under Antoninus (138-161), and Pavatius who was bishop under Maximinus (235-238) and under Aurelian (270-275), in which event, Pavatius would have lived over two hundred years. Liborius, successor of Pavatius, would have been the contemporary of Valentinian (364-375). Of course, if Julian had been of the apostolic age, he would not have been termed a 'bishop', nor would he have founded a church or cathedral. Christians were not a legal cult until the time of Constantine I (d. 337), and a diocese could neither own property as a collective entity nor build public places of worship.According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, "these chronological absurdities of the Acts have led Louis Duchesne to conclude that the first Bishop of Le Mans whose episcopate can be dated with certainty is Victurius, who attended the Councils of Angers and of Tours, in 453 and 461, and to whom Gregory of Tours alludes as 'a venerable confessor'. Turibius who, according to the Acts, was the successor of Julianus, was, on the contrary, successor to Victurius and occupied the see from 490 to 496."In January 2017, the Diocese of Le Mans set up policy guidelines aimed at tackling the sex abuse crisis facing the Diocese.[8]Cathedral and churches[edit]The buildings that served as the cathedral of Le Mans before 1080 are known only through textual evidence.[9] Even the textual evidence, such as it is, shows that there was no work of any importance on the cathedral from 557 to 832, the beginning of the reign of Bishop Aldric, though it was interrupted by his flight from his diocese. The new choir, at least, was consecrated before his flight, in 834, according to the Acta.[10] During the reign of Bishop Gontier, the town of Le Mans was attacked and the cathedral was pillaged by Comte Rotger.[11]Apse of Cathedral of Le MansNotre-Dame de la CoutureA new and larger cathedral of St. Julian of Mans was begun under Bishop Vulgrin, but the choir collapsed and had to be rebuilt by Bishop Arnaud (1065-1081), and work continued for the rest of the century. There was a fire in Le Mans in 1134 which damaged the cathedral, and work had to be undertaken again. Between 1217 and 1254 a new choir was built, and the supposed relics of St. Julien placed in a splendid new home.[12] The building exhibits specimens of all styles of architecture up to the fifteenth century, its thirteenth century choir being one of the most remarkable in France.On 3 October 1230, Bishop Maurice (1215–1231) issued a charter in which he suppressed the offices of the six Archpriests who had served the diocese, and instituted six territorial Archdeacons in their place, all of whom were to be ordained priests within a year of their appointment: the Archdeacons of Mans, Sabolio, Lavalle, Castrildis, Montfort, and Passeyo. The arrangements were approved by the Roman Curia in 1232.[13] The Chapter of the Cathedral had nine dignities: the Dean, the Cantor, the Scholasticus, and the six Archdeacons. There were thirty eight prebends and four semi-prebends. All the offices were in the gift of the bishop, except that of the Dean, who was elected by the Chapter.[14]In the winter of 1447/1448 southern Maine was under attack from the French armies of Charles VII. The English garrison in Le Mans was besieged, and on 16 March 1448 surrendered to the French.[15]The city of Le Mans was occupied and pillaged by the Huguenots between 3 April 1562 and 11 July 1562. Ideologically the cathedral was a special target, where anything smacking of Catholic practices and traditions was destroyed, but also the cathedral was a repository of precious gold, silver and jewels, and also the baser metals, bronze, brass and iron, which could be used for military purposes. Although the Huguenots were driven away by an approaching royal army, they continued to wreak havoc on the diocese and its churches and monasteries.[16] On 5 May 1583 there was a fire in the cathedral, which damaged the vaults and destroyed the silver bell in the Choir.[17]The church of Notre-Dame de la Couture (originally dedicated to S. Peter[18]) dates from the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, traces of earlier buildings having disappeared completely.[19] The Abbey of Solesmes, founded by Geoffroy de Sablé in 993 and completed in 1095,[20] has a thirteenth-century which is a veritable museum of sculptures of the end of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Its "Entombment of Christ," in terracotta, is famous; the Mary Magdalen in the group, already celebrated even in the fifteenth century for its beauty attracted the attention of Richelieu, who thought of having it brought to Paris. Several sculptures depicting scenes in the life of the Virgin Mary form a series unique in France.Bishops of Le Mans[edit]To 1000[edit]St. Julianus (Julian)[21]Turibius[22] (see below)Pavatius, PavaciusLiborius[23] (348-396);[24] founded the Saint-Martin de Luché Church[25]RomanusVicturius[26] (450s and 60s)Turibius (490-496)[27]Principius[28] (497-511)Innocentius[29] (532-43)Domnolus (560-81)Badigysel (581-586)Bertechramnus, Bertram, Bertran, Bertrand (587-623), founder of the Abbey of Notre-Dame de la CoutureHadoindus,[30] Haduin, Harduin (623-54)Berecharius, Berarius, Beraire (655-70)[31]St. Aldric[32] (832-57).[33]Robert (857-883/5), famous for the forgeries that appeared at Le Mans under himAiglibert[34]MainardusSegenfredus, Seinfroy (d. 997)1000 to 1500[edit]Avesgaud of Bellème (997-1036)Gervais de Château-du-Loir 1036–1055Wilgrin 1055–1064Arnaud 1067–1081Hoël 1085–1097Hildebert of Lavardin 1097–1125Guy D'Etampes 1126–1135Hugues de Saint-Calais 1135–1142Guillaume de Passavant 1142–1186Renaud 1186–1189Hamelin 1190–1214Nicolas 1214–1216Maurice 1215–1231 (or 1234)Geoffroi de Laval 1231–1234Geoffroi de Loudon 1234–1255[35]Guillaume Roland 1256–1260Geoffroi Freslon 1260–1274Geoffroi D`Assé 1274–1277Jean de Toulay 1277–1294Pierre Le Royer 1294–1295Denis Benoit 1296–1298Robert de Clinchamp 1298–1309Pierre de Longueil[36] 1312–1326[37]Guy de Laval 1326–1339Geoffroi de La Chapelle 1339–1350Jean de Craon 1350–1355Michel de Briche 1355–1368Gonthier de Baignaux 1368–1385Pierre de Savoisy 1385–1398Adam Chatelain 1398–1439Jean d'Hierray (Jean D'Ansières, Jean de Jeriau)[38] 1439–1451Martin Berruyer 1452–1467[39]Thibaud de Luxembourg 1468–1474[40] (Cardinal)Philippe de Luxembourg 1477–15071500-1800[edit]Franz von Luxemburg[41] 1507–1509 (also Bishop of Saint-Pons de Thomières)Philippe de Luxemburg 1509–1519 (second time)Louis de Bourbon[42] 1519–1535 (Cardinal)René du Bellay[43] 1535–1546Jean du Bellay 1542–1556 (Cardinal, 1 Nov 1542 Appointed – 27 Jul 1556 Resigned)Charles d'Angennes de Rambouillet 1559–1587 (Cardinal)Claude d'Angennes de Rambouillet 1588–1601Charles de Beaumanoir de Lavardin[44] 1601–1637Emmeric-Marc de La Ferté 1637–1648Philibert-Emmanuel de Beaumanoir de Lavardin[45] 1648–1671Louis de La Vergne de Monthirard de Tressan 1671–1712Pierre-Roger du Crévy[46] 1712–1729Charles-Louis de Froulay de Tessé 1729–1767Louis-André de Grimaldi[47] 1767–1777 (19 Apr 1767 Appointed – 16 Oct 1777 Appointed Bishop of Noyon)François-Gaspard de Jouffroy de Gonsans[48] 1777–1790Jacques-Guillaume-René-François Prudhomme de La Boussinière[49] 1791–1793 (Constitutional Bishop of Sarthe)From 1800[edit]Bishop Yves Le SauxJohann Michael Josef von Pidoll de Quitenbach (9 April 1802 Appointed – 23 November 1819 Died)Claude-Madeleine de La Myre-Mory (5 December 1819 Appointed – 22 December 1828 Resigned)Philippe-Marie-Thérèse-Guy Carron (16 April 1829 Appointed – 27 August 1833 Died)Jean-Baptiste Bouvier (22 November 1833 Appointed – 29 December 1854 Died)Jean-Jacques Nanquette (30 August 1855 Appointed – 19 November 1861 Died)Charles-Jean Fillion (14 January 1862 Appointed – 28 July 1874 Died)Hector-Albert Chaulet d'Outremont (14 September 1874 Appointed – 14 September 1884 Died)Guillaume-Marie-Joseph Labouré (31 December 1884 Appointed – 13 June 1893 Appointed Archbishop of Rennes)Charles-Joseph-Louis-Abel Gilbert (29 January 1894 Appointed – August 1897 Resigned)Marie-Prosper-Adolphe de Bonfils (22 March 1898 Appointed – 2 June 1912 Died)Raymond-Marie-Turiaf de La Porte (12 August 1912 Appointed – 30 November 1917 Resigned)Georges-François-Xavier-Marie Grente (30 January 1918 Appointed – 4 May 1959 Died)Paul-Léon-Jean Chevalier (4 May 1959 Succeeded – 28 October 1971 Retired)Bernard-Pierre-Edmond Alix (28 October 1971 Succeeded – 13 August 1981 Resigned)Georges Edmond Robert Gilson (13 August 1981 Appointed – 2 August 1996 Appointed Archbishop of Sens)Jacques Maurice Faivre (29 July 1997 Appointed – 3 July 2008 Resigned)Yves Le Saux (21 November 2000 Appointed – 27 June 2022 Appointed Bishop of Annecy)Jean-Pierre Vuillemin (3 April 2023 – present) Livraison et Expédition (Shipping & Handling)Les pièces seront soigneusement emballées individuellement et protégées avec du film bulle et carton renforcé,Pour les pays autres que la France, envoi en recommandé avec assurance Ad Valorem à hauteur de la valeur de l'objet.All items will be securely packed, individually wrapped with acid-free silk paper, foam, bubble wrap and reinforced cardboard.Shipped from FRANCE with proof of delivery and insured for their value.Any overseas custom taxes and duties are all borne by the buyerNo custom taxes for European CommunityWE SHIP WORLDWIDENotes importantes (Important points)MERCI DE POSEZ TOUTES VOS QUESTION AVANT D’ENCHERIR OU D’ACHETER.
