The only known bishop of this diocese was Rogaziano, who took part in the synod assembled in Carthage in 484 by the Vandal King Huneric, after which Rogaziano was exiled. Today Vannida survives as a titular bishopric and the current archbishop is Kryspin Witold Dubiel.

Why this record matters
The phrase “titular see” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2510469. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
