Afufenia was also the seat of an ancient Catholic bishopric.[1][2] and was mentioned by Optatus.[3] One bishop is known from Afufenia,[4] Mansueto, who was among the Catholic bishops summoned to Carthage in 484 by the Vandal king Huneric and then exiled. According to Mesnage[5] it would be the same Mansueto remembered by Vetus Romanum Martyrology as of September 6. Today Afufenia survives as a titular bishopric,[6] with the current bishop being Raúl Alfonso Carrillo Martínez, Vicar Apostolic of Puerto Gaitán.[7] He replaced Paul J. Bradley in 2004.
