Sita, Mauritania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sita is an ancient city and former diocese in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis. It remains a Latin Catholic titular see.
Sita, located somewhere in modern Algeria, was one of many cities important enough in the western part of the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis, in the papal sway, to become a suffragan diocese, but like most faded, plausibly at the 7th century advent of Islam.
Its only historically recorded bishops were:
- The Donatist schismatic Saturnus partook in the Council of Carthage in 411, on that very heresy, without Catholic counterpart.
- Catholic bishop Reparatus attended the synod called in Carthage in 484 on the same schism by king Huneric of the Vandal Kingdom, after which he was exiled like most Catholic bishops.
