	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Portsmouth
		This diocese was created by a Brief of Leo XIII, dated 19 May, 1882, and was formed out of the western portion of the Diocese of Southwark as constituted at the re-establishment of the English Hierarchy in 1850.
		With this he made a start, and the eighteen years of his episcopate was a slow and steady growth in every department of diocesan life — the founding of new missions, the establishment of religious communities, and the gradual increase in the ranks of the clergy.
		It was thus that the diocese was enriched by the presence of such congregations as the Benedictines of Solesmes, both monks and nuns.

	Chronology of Catholic Dioceses: Notes on the Channel Islands
		When Southwark was divided by the Letters Apostolic of Pope Leo XIII in 1882, the new Diocese of Portsmouth contained 'those islands in the English Channel (seu le Manche) appertaining to the English Crown'.
		There was discussion of erecting a Church of England Diocese of Saint Helier in the later part of Queen Victoria's reign, but this foundered on whether or not it would be in England or not (as the Channel Islands are technically not part of England, but are in the Duchy of Normandy).
		According to the website, the islands are now part of the RC Diocese of Portsmouth, and the oldest parish appears to be the 1792 Notre Dame du Rosaire in Saint Peter Port.

	Briefing
		The Diocese of Portsmouth might be spread over a large area, one which in this day and age might seem to make very little sense without reference to its historic origins, but it is definitely not a fragmented Diocese.
		In 1999, Bishop Crispian published his vision for the Diocese entitled A Church for the 21st Century, and it is this vision of the people of God working together to spread the Good News which is the backbone to everything which happens in Portsmouth.
		There is a free diocesan newspaper, Portsmouth People, which was started in 1996 and which aims to provide news of what is happening in the diocesan family, to share good practice as a means of encouraging others and to keep people informed about what is happening inn their Diocese.

	Portsmouth Herald Editorial: Diocese’s attempt to call story ‘unbalanced’ misses the point
		I was interested to read the letter from Diocesan vice-chancellor Diane Quinlan, in which she charges the Portsmouth Herald with a "lack of balance" in their coverage of the National Review Board reports on sexual abuse.
		Quinlan should ask why the Diocese of Manchester is no longer considered a credible source on matters related to the sexual abuse of children.
		Quinlan is so apparently concerned with news that is "balanced" I would ask why the diocesan newspaper (back when the diocese still had a newspaper) never once published letters to the editor, or news stories, critical of the bishop and his misdeeds in Boston.

	Communion and Mission in the Diocese of Portsmouth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		At the same time, as a diocese we must consider very seriously the place of the newer congregations and movements which are clearly catching the imagination and the commitment of younger laypeople today.
		Ultimate financial responsibility for the entire life of the diocese rests with the Diocesan Trustees, but absolutely nothing could be achieved without the financial giving that comes from our parish congregations through the levy that is collected from every parish.
		That will be a defining moment for the Diocese of Portsmouth when, in all our different and varied pastoral circumstances - because our diocese is so varied in its make-up - we can move forward together with a renewed sense of missionary purpose and communion.

	Portsmouth Herald Editorial: Diocese’s spinisn’t the truth
		Her letter exemplifies the slick public relations language used by the Diocese and Bishop John McCormack to distort the plain simple truth.
		She also refers to legal expenses cited by the diocese, which appear ridiculously low ($393,000) by any standard.
		Edward J. Arsenault, her boss, who is also chairman of a national Church self-insurance company, recommended to McCormack about a convicted rapist in 2001 that "funds be provided in a confidential fashion" to the prisoner so he could pursue an appeal.

	The Mothers' Union Portsmouth Diocese
		Mary Sumner spoke eloquently of her hopes for an organisation, based on prayer, for mothers who were responsible for the upbringing of their children, and for the blessings to be found in a Christian home and family.
		As time went by and the new dioceses of Portsmouth and Guildford were formed from Winchester, they were well equipped to organise themselves into diocesan Mothers' Unions capable of taking a full part in the development of the society in every respect.
		So from its humble beginnings in a village in the Hampshire countryside the faith and energy of one woman has inspired women everywhere to unite in prayer, worship and service in support of marriage and the upbringing of children in the faith and life of the church, and for the benefit of future generations.
