Apostolic Nunciature to Turkey

The Apostolic Nunciature to Turkey is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Turkey. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador.

Papal representation in the area that later became Turkey was initiated with the creation of the Apostolic Delegation to Constantinople in 1868, at a time when the Holy See had largely ceded the management of Church affairs in the region to the French Catholic Church. It was renamed the Apostolic Delegation to Turkey in 1930. In anticipation of the establishment of diplomatic relations, Pope John XXIII created the Apostolic Internunciature to Turkey on 29 February 1960.[1] Pope Paul VI raised it to the full status of Apostolic Nunciature on 30 August 1966.[2]

The matter reached a crisis when an antagonistic and unpopular non-French apostolic delegate was appointed for Constantinople. Vincenzo Sardi di Rivisondoli arrived in 1908 and attempted to separate the Church from the French state in this matter. Everything fell to pieces, of course, with the First World War.
