Roman Catholic diocese in Italy

The Diocese of Ales-Terralba (Latin: Dioecesis Uxellensis-Terralbensis) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church located in west-central Sardinia. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Oristano (Arborea).[1] Ales lies at a distance of 31 km from Oristano in a direct line.

It is claimed that Pope Gregory I[2] (590–604) alludes to the episcopal see of Ales (anciently Uselli), in his letter to Januarius of Cagliari in 591.[3] This assertion is now rejected.[4] After this there is no reference to a diocese of Ales until 1147, when the name of Bishop Maurellu appears in a diploma.[5] The local traditions of Terralba have preserved the memory of a Bishop Mariano, who erected the cathedral about 1144; he and Bishop Maurellu are probably the same person.

The diocese of Ales and the diocese of Terralba were united by Pope Julius II, in 1503.[6]

In 1820, the village of Ales had a population of 749, and the village of Terralba a population of 3,040.[7] In 1920, there were reported to be 59,530 Catholics in the entire diocese, organized into 42 parishes.[8]

The Bishop of Ales-Terralba, Roberto Carboni, O.F.M. Conv., was promoted on 4 May 2019 to be Archbishop of Oristano and on the same date was appointed Apostolic Administrator of his former diocese of Ales-Terralba.[9] However, on 3 July 2021, without losing his position as Archbishop of Oristano, he was reappointed Bishop of Ales-Terralba. The announcement specifies that this act unifies the two dioceses in persona Episcopi (‘in the person of the Bishop’).[10]
