medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture The Near Eastern sees often were what are called titular sees or sees in partibus infidelium.The practice continues in the present day in the naming of auxiliary bishops. For example, each of the 6 auxiliary bishops of the archdiocese of Boston has a titular see. The New Catholic Encyclopedia 2nd ed. has a brief article on auxiliary bishops dating the practice to the 12th century & saying it began as a refusal to admit the Turks had caused a see to cease existing.
