Roman Catholic Diocese of Sidon
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Sidon was a
bishopric in the Kingdom of Jerusalem
in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Establishment
Before the arrival of the crusaders to Syria in the late 11th century, the Orthodox bishops of Sidon had been suffragans of the
patriarchs of Antioch, Bernard of Valence, lodged an objection with the Holy See and prevented the appointment of a bishop subject to Jerusalem at Sidon.[5]
From the 14th-century, the Sidon became a Titular see.[6]
