Roman Catholic Diocese of Cavaillon

dioecesis Caballicensis) existed until the French Revolution as a diocese of the Comtat Venaissin, a fief of the Church of Rome.

[1] Its seat was at Cavaillon, in the south-eastern part of what is now France, in the modern department of Vaucluse.

The cathedral was officially dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary (Nôtre Dame), but popularly honored Saint Veranus, the sixth-century bishop of Cavaillon.

In 1202 the cathedral had a Chapter composed of a Provost, a Precentor, and a Sacristan, to which were added the Archdeacon and 12 Canons.

[3] In January 2009 the bishopric was revived by Pope Benedict XVI as a titular see,[29] to provide the ever-increasing number of auxiliary bishops and Vatican bureaucrats with prelatial episcopal status.
