History
Vazari-Didda was important enough in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis to be one of Carthage's Metropolitan archbishopric's. Vazari-Didda, perhaps identifiable with Henchir-Badajr in today's Tunisia, remains an ancient episcopal titular see of the Roman province of 'Africa Proconsolare, and a suffragan of the 'Archdiocese of Carthage'.
Among the bishops at the Council of Carthage of 411, between the Catholic and Donatist bishops of Africa, was one Adeodatus, described as Publianus episcopus Bazarididacensis plebis, who declared to have no Donatist competitors in his diocese.
There was actually a certain Calipodius who was physically present in the dioces, but when he saw that this whole congregation converted to Catholic Church , he simply left the place.
However, Adeodatus title, is of uncertain identification and the geographic location of his bishopric is also uncertain in the documents.
Today Vazari-Didda survives as titular see, and the current Bishop is Jose Colin Bagaforo Mendoza, auxiliary bishop of Cotabato.
