History


The diocese was founded on 12 May 1559, on territory (central and North Holland) canonically split off from the Diocese of Utrecht, which was simultaneously promoted to archbishopric and became its Metropolitan. In 1592 (during the Eighty Years War, during which the Spanish crown lost Holland) it was suppressed, and its territory was immediately included in the new Dutch Mission sui iuris 'Batavia', soon promoted an Apostolic vicariate.


In 1833, the diocese was restored as (pre-diocesan) Apostolic Administration of Haarlem, which was on 4 March 1853 promoted as Diocese of Haarlem.


On 16 July 1955, it lost territories, to the existing Diocese of Breda, and to establish the Diocese of Groningen and Diocese of Rotterdam.


In 2001, monsignor Jozef Marianus (Jos) Punt became the Bishop of the Diocese of Haarlem-Amsterdam.


On 7 October 2008, it was renamed as Diocese of Haarlem–Amsterdam.


On 25 October 2011, it was made known that Pope Benedict XVI had accepted the resignation of Bishop Johannes Gerardus Maria van Burgsteden, as the Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese. Monsignor Johannes Maria Willibrordus Hendriks was appointed as the new auxiliary bishop.



Special churches


The cathedral episcopal see of the Diocese of Haarlem-Amsterdam is the Cathedral of Saint Bavo, a minor basilica in Haarlem, which city also has two former cathedrals: Saint Joseph Church and Saint Bavo Church (now a Protestant church). Other minor basilicas in the diocese are Basilica of Saint John the Baptist in Laren and Basilica of Saint Nicholas in Amsterdam, both in the province of North Holland.[3]

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
