Materiana was an
episcopal see but no longer has a
diocesan bishop. Accordingly, it is included in the
Catholic Church's list of
titular sees. The only known bishop of this diocese from antiquity is Peregrino, who took part in the synod gathered in Carthage by the Vandal king of
Hunaric in 484, after which he was
exiled. Today, Materiana survives as a
titular bishop's seat; the current titular bishop is
Anton Ranjith Pillainayagam,
auxiliary bishop of
Colombo. ==References==
