Sitipa Explained

Sitipa also known as Sitipensis is a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church centered in North Africa.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Very little is known of the history of the bishopric. A Catholic Bishop Argyrius was present at the Council of Carthage (411)^[4] but the actual location of the seat of the diocese (a town called Sitipensis Plebs) is unknown.^{[5] [6]}

The titular bishopric was only added to the list of titular bishops in 1989.

The current bishop is Ignatius Chung Wang of San Francisco.^[7]
