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 its bishop-owner until his death was Luis Morgan Casey, an apostolic vicar emeritus of Pando. The current titular bishop is Mar Thomas Padiyath, the auxiliary bishop of the Syro-Malabar Eparchy of Shamshabad
