Geography
The municipality of Voghiera contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Ducentola, Gualdo, Montesanto and Voghenza (a former bishopric).
Voghiera borders the following municipalities: Argenta, Ferrara, Masi Torello and Portomaggiore.
Ecclesiastical history
Of these, Voghenza (in Latin, Vicohabentia) was once a residential bishopric, believed to have been renamed, due to a see shift, in 950 as Diocese of Ferrara (now Metropolitan Archdiocese of Ferrara–Comacchio).[4] See also: Maurelius of Voghenza
Titular see
It is now included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.[5]
In 1966, the diocese was nominally restored as Latin Titular bishopric of Voghenza (Curiate Italian) or Vicohabentia in Latin, adjective Vicohabentin(us).
It has had the following incumbents,[6] of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank, with an archiepiscopal promotion in this title as exception :
- Angelo Scapecchi (1967.07.11 – 1996.03.20), first as Auxiliary Bishop of Cortona (Italy) (1967.07.11 – 1986.09.30), then restyled as Auxiliary Bishop of successor see Arezzo–Cortona–Sansepolcro (1986.09.30 – retired 1987.07.25); died 1996
- Salvatore Fisichella (Rino) (1998.07.03 – 2008.06.17 see below) as Auxiliary Bishop of the papal Vicariate of Rome (Roma, Italy) (1998.07.03 – 2008.06.17), also President of Pontifical Institute of John Paul II for Studies on Marriage and Family (2002.01.18 – 2006.01), Rector Magnificus of Pontifical Lateran University (2002.01.18 – 2010.06.30), President of Pontifical Academy for Life (2008.06.17 – 2010.06.30)
- the same Salvatore Fisichella (Rino), promoted Titular Archbishop of Voghenza (see above 2008.06.17 – ...), also President of Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization (2010.06.30 – ...) and President of International Council for Catechesis (2013.01.16 – ...)
