History
In Calabria in southern Italy, the Latin Church Archdiocese of Crotone-Santa Severina (Latin: Archidioecesis Crotonensis-Sanctae Severinae) took its modern shape in 1986, when it was combined with the Diocese of Santa Severina. Today it is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Catanzaro-Squillace. In 2013 the archdiocese counted one priest for every 1,841 Catholics. The original Diocese of Cortone (also Cotrone, now Crotone) dated from the 6th century and was then a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Reggio.

This see keeps no website of its own, so its chancery is published here: withholding it would protect nothing and leave a reader with nowhere to go. Where a see publishes its own site, the register sends you there instead.
What is kept by invitation
The record above is published because it is public: what this see is, when it was erected, who holds its chair, and where it stands among its neighbours.
The working record is not. The clergy of the see, and the hours of Mass, confession and adoration in the parishes within it, are kept for members, and a person reads every request.
