Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)
The Diocese of Gisipa (Latin: Rite Gisipensis) is a home suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church, suffragan of the Archdiocese of Carthage.[1][2]
Location
The bishopric of Gisipa, was centered on a Roman town called Gisipam, the location of which is now lost to history,[3] although being in Africa Proconsularis it is certain that it was in what is modern north Tunisia.
History
The sources mention four bishops.
- The Catholic bishop, Gennaro attended the Council of Carthage (411)
- Carissimo took part in the Synod of Carthage in 484 called by the Vandal king Huneric, after which Carissimo was exiled
- Redento attended the Council of Carthage (525)
- Melloso signed the anti-monothelitism canon of 646.
Today Gisipa survives as titular bishop,[4] the current bishop is Dennis Bishop Cabanada Villarojo, Auxiliary Bishop of Cebu.[5][6]
