Diocese of Thucca Terenbenthina
D A R C 12345: cre8stub
The '''Diocese of Thucca Terenbenthina''' is an ancient and [[Titular See]] of the [[Roman Catholic Church.<ref>[http://ift.tt/2CkvMU6 Titular Episcopal See of Thucca Terebenthina], GCatholic.org.</ref><ref>David Cheney,[http://ift.tt/2ovL2Ec Diocese of Tucca Terebentina], on Catholic-Hierarchy.org.]</ref>
The diocese is also known as '''Tucca Terebentina''' or دڨة , (Latin : Dioecesis Thuccensis Terebenthina ).
==History==
Also known as [[Thucca Terenbenthina|Tucca Terebentina]], the bishopric is an ancient episcopal see of the [[Roman province]] of [[Byzacena]]. In antiquity the bishopric was centered on [[<ref>Collectif, L'Afrique romaine.(Atlande, Neuilly-sur-Seine, 2006) p69-439, p.310.</ref><ref>Mustapha Khanoussi, « L'évolution urbaine de Thugga (Dougga) en Afrique proconsulaire : de l'agglomération numide à la ville africo-romaine »,(CRAI (Comptes-rendus des séances de l'Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres), 2003), pp. 131–155</ref> [[Dougga]].
The [[Bishopric]] was founded during the [[Roman Empire]] and survived through the [[Arianism|Arian]] [[Vandal]] and [[Orthodox Christianity|Orthodox]] [[Byzantine]] empires, only ceasing to function with the [[Muslim conquest of the Maghreb]]. The [[diocese]] was re-founded in name at least in the [[20th century]] and it remains today a [[titular see]] of the [[Roman Catholic church]].<ref>[http://ift.tt/2CkvYm2 Titular Episcopal See of Thugga].</ref>
Very little is known of the history of the Bishopric. The [[donatist]] bishop Pascasio, who was present at the [[Council of Carthage#conference of 411|Carthage conference of 411]] may have belonged to this town but it is uncertain.
Today Thucca Terebentina survives as a [[titular bishop]]'s seat having been re-founded in the 1930s and the current titular bishop is [[Gerardo Antonio Zerdín Bukovec]] , [[apostolic vicar]] of [[San Ramón]].
Modern bishops have included:
* [[André Lefèbvre]],(1967 - 1976 ) who was dismissed
* [[Pío Bello Ricardo]], (1977 - 1981) who was appointed [[bishop of Los Teques]].
* [[Luis Sáinz Hinojosa]],(1982 - 1987 ) who was appointed [[archbishop of La Paz]].
* Gerardo Antonio Zerdín Bukovec, who has held the office since 19 January 2002.
