In 1790, during the French Revolution, the Catholic diocese of Béziers and several others were suppressed by the Constituent Assembly, and their territory assigned to a new Constitutionaal Diocese of Hérault, whose schismatic bishop was seated at Béziers. The Catholic diocese of Beziers was abolished by Pope Pius VII in 1801, and never revived. It is no longer an independent diocese, and is part of the [[Diocese of Montpellier]]. |
