Mibiarca

The diocese of Mibiarca (in Latin: Dioecesis Mibiarcensis) is a suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church, in today's Tunisia.[1][2][3][4] It is an ancient episcopal seat of the province of Byzacena.

Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)

The only known bishop of this African diocese was John, who participated in the anti-monotheistic council of Carthage (641). Today Mibiarca survives as a titular bishopric and the current bishop-owner is Luis Morgan Casey, an apostolic vicar of Pando.
