Sabina and Mentana
Correction

This suburbicarian see is not called "Sabina and Mentana." The Holy See and the diocese itself identify it as Sabina-Poggio Mirteto (historically Sabina, later Sabina e Poggio Mirteto); Mentana was a separate ancient diocese whose succession ended in 804.

Full reasoning

The article names one of the seven suburbicarian sees as "Sabina and Mentana", but the historical and official name is Sabina-Poggio Mirteto (earlier Sabina / Sabina e Poggio Mirteto), not a see called "Sabina and Mentana."

The Diocese of Sabina-Poggio Mirteto's own history explains that Mentana was an ancient separate diocese and that "the succession of the bishops of Mentana ... ended in 804". It also states that in 1925 Pope Pius XI united Poggio Mirteto with Sabina, so that the suburbicarian bishop of Sabina would also be bishop of Poggio Mirteto; later reorganization assigned Poggio Mirteto as the seat of the suburbicarian diocese of Sabina-Poggio Mirteto.

The Holy See also uses this official title in modern documentation. For example, its 25 January 2020 bulletin refers to Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re as holding "the Title of the Suburbicarian Church of Sabina-Poggio Mirteto."

So the text's use of "Sabina and Mentana" is incorrect.

Cardinal-Bishop of Sabina-Porto Mirteto
Correction

Eduardo Francisco Pironio's suburbicarian title was Sabina-Poggio Mirteto, not "Sabina-Porto Mirteto."

Full reasoning

This is a naming error. The suburbicarian see connected with Cardinal Eduardo Francisco Pironio was Sabina-Poggio Mirteto, not "Sabina-Porto Mirteto".

A Vatican News profile on Pironio explicitly refers to "la diócesis suburbana de Sabina-Poggio Mirteto" among the places where he lived and worked. Catholic-Hierarchy's biographical record for Pironio likewise lists him as "Cardinal-Bishop of Sabina-Poggio Mirteto" and records his appointment to that title on 11 July 1995.

So the place-name in the article is incorrect: it substitutes Porto for Poggio.
