Titular see of the Catholic Church
Formerly this article stated that Castabala "was" a titular see of the Catholic Church "until 1894", referring to a Catholic Encyclopedia article on Castabala. That article states that the "Latin title [was] suppressed, [in] 1894. In 1894, the see was occupied by Bishop Lootens, who continued in that capacity until 1898.  Since then, six bishops have served as Titular Bishop of Castabala.  As recently as 2010, Bishop Tejeda was Titular Bishop of Castabala until he retired. One must conclude that the suppression of its "Latin title" means something other than its discontinuation as a titular see.  Castabala is a Greek name; perhaps prior to 1898 this titular see had a Latin name.  Regardless, I reworded the article to reflect that Castabala continues to be a titular see of the Catholic Church.  Vereverde (talk) 19:53, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
