Zella (see)

The Diocese of Zella (Latin: Dioecesis Zellensis) is a suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.

Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)

[1][2] The diocese of Zella, is located in today's Tunisia.

During the Roman Empire the Diocese was centered on a Roman town of the Roman province of Byzacena. During late antiquity the city had both a Donatist and Catholic congregation. These two both sent bishops to the Conference of Carthage of 411.[3][4]

Today Zella survives as a titular bishopric and the current archbishop, personal title, is Angelo Acerbi, who was already the prelate of the Order of Malta's military sovereign.

gollark: I'd rather not use a thing with serious security vulnerabilities they refused to patch.
gollark: Top bit is author.
gollark: ```"You mean that a program designed to let an unprivileged usermount/unmount/eject anything he wants has a security flaw because it allowshim to mount/unmount/eject anything he wants? I'm shocked."Unfortunately, sarcasm does not make you right. Yes, this is a critical security flaw, because anyone with calibre installed on their system now allows any user to gain root privileges by mounting on top of important directories. Just because your application allows this by design rather than by mistake doesn't make this less of a problem.```
gollark: Er, has.
