SUCCESSORS OF THE APOSTLES SALESIAN BISHOPS
1884 to 2001

Charles N. Bransom, Jr.
INTRODUCTION
T
he study of apostolic succession and episcopal lineages has long fascinated students of church history. It was not until the middle of the twentieth century, however, that a systematic attempt was made to trace and catalogue the consecrations of bishops on a world-wide basis.A small group of researchers has catalogued the consecrations of tens of thou- sands of bishops dating back many centuries. The fruits of their labors--labors that are on going-have resulted in a database, which can trace the episcopal lineage of any living bishop and the vast majority of deceased bishops.
In 1984, I began a project on the episcopal ordinations of bishops of re- ligious orders and congregations. One fruit of that work was a study of the ordi- nations of Salesian bishops, Les Eveques Salesiens. The present work updates, corrects and expands the 1984 study. In 1984, the episcopal ordinations of 130 bishops were presented. This study contains the details of 196 bishops. The text has been expanded to include the episcopal lineages of the bishops.
Of the 196 bishops in this study, 183 trace their orders to Scipione Re- biba, who was appointed Auxiliary Bishop ofChieti in 1541. The Rebiban suc- cession is the major episcopal line in the contemporary Catholic episcopate.
More than 91 % of the more than 4,500 bishops alive today trace their orders
back to Rebiba Why so many bishops should trace their lineages to this one bishop can be explained, in great part, by the intense sacramental activity of Pope Benedict XIII, who consecrated 139 bishops during his pontificate, many of them cardinals, nuncios and bishops of important sees who in tum conse- crated many other bishops. And it is the consecrator of Benedict XIII who gives us the direct link to Scipione Rebiba
Pope Benedict XIII's consecrator was Cardinal Paluzzo Altieri. Until 1965, the episcopal genealogies prepared for most bishops showed Pope Alex- ander VIl as the consecrator of Cardinal Paluzzo Altieri, and those genealogies had a lineage reaching back to the early 1400s. In the mid 1960s, a contempo- rary account of Cardinal Paluzzo Altieri's consecration, published in the Gazette de France, was found. This account revealed that Pope Alexander VIl became ill shortly before the ceremony and was replaced as consecrator by Cardinal Ulderico Carpegna. This change in consecrators fundamentally changes the pre- viously published genealogies and results in lineages, which end in the year
1541.
As for Scipione Rebiba, it is widely believed that Gian Pietro Cardinal Carafa, who became Pope Paul IV, consecrated him but no documentation of any kind has been found and therefore we must stop at Rebiba
The remaining thirteen bishops belong to five Latin-rite lines and one Eastern-rite line. The other lines are the Bovet line, ending in 1789 (one bishop);
the Gesualdo line, 1564 (one bishop); the von Bodman line, 1686 (two bishops);
the Ravizza line, 1667 (two bishops); the Uchanski line, 1552 (five bishops);
and the Ukrainian line, which ends in 1565 with Jeremias II, Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople (two bishops). In this work, these lines are abbrevi- ated at the end of the respective lineages as BOV, GES, BOD, RAV, UCH, and UKR.
It is believed that the Bovet and Ravizza lines are probably part of the Rebiban succession, but no details of the consecrations of the respective heads of the lineages have been found. It is also possible that the Gesualdo and von Bodman lines also join the Rebiban line, but it has not been possible to docu- ment the consecrations of Gesualdo and von Bodman.
The Uchanski line, which ends in 1552, probably does not join the Re- biban line. It is a Polish line, which accounts for two-thirds of the current Polish episcopate.
Four of the 196 bishops belong to Oriental rites: two to the Ukranian Byzantine rite, one each to the Armenian, and Ethiopian. The bishops chroni- cled in this work have brought the special Salesian charism to the episcopate and to the dioceses, which they have served and continue to serve on six conti- nents.
