History
A Christian community took root at Naples in the 1st century AD, and in the 10th century the diocese there was raised to an archdiocese. Today the Archdiocese of Naples (Italian: Arcidiocesi di Napoli; Neapolitan: Arcidiocesi 'e Napule); Latin: Archidioecesis Neapolitana) is a Latin archdiocese of the Catholic Church in southern Italy, its see in Naples. Two of its archbishops, Paul IV and Innocent XII, were elected pope, and in 2004 it counted c. 1,600,000 baptized people.

Cardinal Domenico Battaglia asks San Gennaro for a year without war
Cardinal Domenico Battaglia asked Saint Gennaro for a year without war during the solemnity of the saint's feast. Addressing the faithful in the Archdiocese of Napoli, the archbishop requested that when the community returns next year, the only blood discussed should be that of the saint. Battaglia stated he does not want to speak of blood resembling that of killed children or the victims in Palestine and Ukraine. He expressed exhaustion with a humanity that creates victims and then builds monuments to mourn them, noting he wants to stop naming destroyed cities and grieving mothers because he hopes there will no longer be a need to do so.
