The papal bull “Ecclesia universae” separates the former districts of Eupen-Malmedy from the Archbishopric of Cologne and places them under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Liège. It is the birth of the independent diocese of Eupen-Malmedy.

On September 20, 1921, exactly one year after the League of Nations decision on the definitive affiliation of Eupen-Malmedy, Cardinal Schulte took leave of his 42 parishes with 65 diocesan priests and about 61,000 Catholics in a letter to the deans of Eupen, Malmedy and St. Vith. – The deaneries had been established as a new diocese according to the Dismemberment Bull Ecclesiae universae, dated July 30, 1921, by Pope Benedict XV. The peculiarity of the papal instruction was that this new diocese was joined to the diocese of Liège on an equal footing (aeque principaliter) and placed under the jurisdiction, direction and administration of one and the same bishop in real union. The bull had been sent to Belgium only on September 5, and Liège’s Bishop Martin Hubert Rutten received it only on September 13, since when he has held the title of Bishop of Liège and Eupen-Malmedy.

With the political efforts for a complete assimilation of Eupen-Malmedy, not only the dissolution of the special governorate is aimed at, but also the dissolution of the special bishopric. Governor Baltia advocates that the deaneries of Eupen and Malmedy be added to the diocese of Liège and the deanery of St. Vith to the diocese of Namur. Only two years after the successful intervention with Pope Benedict XV, the Belgian Vatican envoy Beyens, after consultation with Foreign Minister Jaspar and Cardinal Mercier, asks Pope Pius XI to abolish the young diocese on November 15, 1923.
