The Diocese of Nancy and Toul (Latin: Dioecesis Nanceiensis et Tullensis; French: Diocèse de Nancy et de Toul) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in France.[1] After a considerable political struggle between Louis XV, Louis XVI, and the Dukes of Lorraine,[2] the diocese was erected by Pope Pius VI on 17 December 1777.[3] The Diocese of Nancy is a suffragan diocese in the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Archdiocese of Besançon.[4]
