History

The whole département of Corrèze falls within the Diocese of Tulle (Latin: Dioecesis Tutelensis; French: Diocèse de Tulle), a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Tulle, France. The Abbey of Tulle, founded in the early 10th century, grew in influence; by the early 12th century its abbot controlled the pilgrimage church of Rocamadour. In 1317 the abbacy was raised to a diocese, though the Concordat of 1802 suppressed it and joined it to the diocese of Limoges.
