Talk:Roman Catholic Diocese of Balecium

This needs attention

This article makes no sense. How is a diocese destroyed by a schismatic population ? Do you mean the church was demolished ? Or the town was demolished ? Or the catholic population was killed ? Or the bishop was killed ? Or the entire population was killed ?Eregli bob (talk) 02:36, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

The source says:"Инокентије VI је 26. септембра 1356. г. дао балечком епископу Андрији у коменду бенедиктански манастир Св. Јована у Дривасту. Као разлог за овај неуобичајен потез, јер Дриваст има свог епископа, наведено је да је манастир после смрти опата Андрије "растурен" од тамошњих шизматика, као и сама балечка дијецеза." [Pope Innocent VI granted to Andreas, a bishop of Diocese of Baleč, Benedictine monastery of St. John in Drivast on 26 September 1356, which was unusual since Drivast has its own bishop. It was also recorded that a monastery together with the whole diocese in Baleč has been "destroyed" by local schismatic population after the death of certain friar Andreas."] If you look at this source you will notice that this diocese was re-established only in 1933, which means that it really did not exist in period middle of 14th century — 1933. Maybe the term destroyed is not appropriate. The source says "rasturen" (under quotation marks in original) which is Serbian word for destroyed or dissembled. In English language a monastery can be destroyed but in case of diocese maybe we should use another term, like "brought to an end" or "disestablished" ...?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 07:28, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
