The diocese of Mibiarca (in Latin: Dioecesis Mibiarcensis) is a suppressed and titular see of the Catholic Church, in today's Tunisia.[1][2][3][4] It is an ancient episcopal seat of the Late Roman province of Byzacena.
The only known bishop of this African diocese was John,[3] who participated in the anti-monotheistic council of Carthage (641).[4]
Today Mibiarca survives as a titular diocese established in 1933. Its initial bishop was Marcelo Gérin y Boulay, the Prelate of Choluteca in Honduras, who was appointed in 1966. The current titular bishop is Thomas Padiyath, who was appointed in 2022[1][2] and who is an auxiliary bishop of the Syro-Malabar Eparchy of Shamshabad in India.[5]
