History

see Hadrianopolis for Ancient namesakes

Hadrianopolis (in Pisidia) was important enough in the late Roman province of Pisidia to become one of the suffragan bishoprics of the Metropolitan of the capital Antioch, but was to fade.

Titular see

The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as a Latin titular bishopric.

It is vacant since decades, having had the following incumbents of the fitting episcopal (lowest) rank :

  • Leo Aloysius Pursley (1950.07.22 – 1956.12.29) as Auxiliary Bishop of Fort Wayne (Indiana, USA) (1950.07.22 – 1956.12.29), until succeeding as last Bishop of Fort Wayne (1956.12.29 – 1960.05.28), later restyled as first Bishop of Fort Wayne–South Bend (USA) (1960.05.28 – retired 1976.08.24), died 1998
  • Bernardino N. Mazzarella, Friars Minor (O.F.M.) (1957.07.20 – 1963.03.13) as Bishop-Prelate of the Territorial Prelature of Inmaculada Concepción de la B.V.M. en Olancho (Honduras) (1954 – 1963.03.13); later Bishop of Comayagua (Honduras) (1963.03.13 – death 1979.05.30)
  • Filemón Castellano (1963.04.10 – 1970.12.20), former Bishop of Lomas de Zamora (Argentina) (1957.03.13 – 1963.04.10); died 1980.
