Roman Catholic Diocese of Fissiana


The Diocese of Fissiana is suppressed Latin Church diocese and current titular see of the Catholic Church.

Location

The exact location for the seat of the diocese is unknown, though Fissiana, is tentatively located somewhere near Foussana in modern Tunisia. In antiquity it was within the Roman province of Byzacena, corresponding to the modern Sahel region of Tunisia.

History

Of this dioceses only two Donatist bishops are known.
That the town was a stronghold of Donatism is not surprising, as it is located close to the heartland of that movement with many of the first Donatist congregations forming in the semi-arid region to the west and south west of Foussana.
Today Fissiana survives as titular bishopric and the current bishop is Alejandro Daniel Pardo, Auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires.
