History
In the time of
Roman Catholic Church as a titular see.[3]
Among its later bishops may be mentioned Thomas, who was present at the
suffragan to Sebasteia. In some texts, it appears as Merisse or Kerisse, merely palaeographical mistakes.[2][4][5][6]
Berissa was a Latin bishopric as late as the 15th century, when Paul II appointed the Franciscan Libertus de Broehun to succeed the deceased bishop, John (Wadding, Annales Minorum, VI, 708).
No longer a residential bishopric, Berissa is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[7]
