The Catholic Church in Moldova is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome. In 1227 the current territory of Moldova joined the Diocese of Milkova, formed by Pope Gregory IX. After the Mongol invasion, the Diocese of Milkova ceased to exist. In 1370, Pope Urban V formed the Diocese of Siret, which also included Moldavia. In 1413, the Diocese of Baia Mare was founded, which lasted until the beginning of the 16th century. At the beginning of the 19th century, Moldova was part of the Apostolic Vicariate of Moravia. On 27 April 1883 Pope Leo XIII established the Diocese of Iași in Romania, which included most of the current territory of Moldova. In the diocese were active Jesuits who established numerous religious, educational and charitable institutions. North Moldavia was in the Diocese of Kamenetz-Podolsk. On 3 July 1848, after the concordat between the Vatican and the Russian Empire, the Diocese of Tiraspol was formed, whose cathedra at first was in Kherson, then was moved to Tiraspol. Because of the Crimean War (1853-1856), its cathedra was transferred to Saratov, which was formed from the Tiraspol deanery, which included all of today's Moldova. More information...
