Tabaicara

Three bishops of this diocese are documented from antiquity.

• At the
  Donatist
  schismatic counterpart, Marcianus.
• Bishop Crispin took part in the
  Council of Carthage (484) called by king Huneric of the Vandal Kingdom
  , after which Crispin was exiled like most Catholic, unlike their Donatist heretical counterparts.

The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as Latin titular bishopric of Tabaicara (Latin = Curiate Italian) / Tabaicaren(sis) (Latin adjective).

It has had the following incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank :

• James Edward Kearney (1966.10.21 – resigned 1971.01.18) on emeritate, died 1977; previously Bishop of
  Salt Lake (USA) (1932.07.01 – 1937.07.31), Bishop of Rochester
  (USA) (1937.07.31 – 1966.10.21)
• Valerians Zondaks (1972.10.28 – death 1986.09.27), first as
  Auxiliary Bishop of Archdiocese of Riga (Latvia) (1972.10.28 – 1986.09.27), then as Auxiliary Bishop of Diocese of Liepāja
  (Latvia) (1972.10.28 – 1986.09.27)
• Juozas Žemaitis,
  Apostolic Administrator of Diocese of Vilkaviškis (Lithuania
  ) (1989.03.10 – 1991.12.24); later succeeded as Bishop of Vilkaviškis (1991.12.24 – 2002.01.05)
• Leonardo Mario Bernacchi,
