Amourah
Introduction '''Amourah''', or '''Amoura''' is a town and Latin Catholic titular bishopric in Algeria.The commune lies in Djelfa Province. According to the 1998 census it has a population of 5,879.
History '''Amaura''' corresponds to ancient Sufasar,  a town in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis during the Vandal Kingdom, Byzantine Empire and Roman Empire.
Titular bishopric Of this ancient diocese only one bishop is known, Reparatus, a Catholic, who intervened at the Conference of Carthage of 411; on that occasion the seat had no Donatist bishops.An entry in the records of the Carthage Conference of 484  could, according to Mesnage, be a bishop of the town.Today, Sufasar survives as a titular bishopric and the current bishop is Augustinus Kim Jong-soo, auxiliary bishop of Daejeon. *Reparatus (fl.411)No longer a residential bishopric, Amaura is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see, of the lowest (episcopal) rank.Since the diocese was thus nominally restored in 1933, it has had the following non-consecutive incumbents :* Étienne-Auguste-Germain Loosdregt, Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (O.M.I.) (1952.03.13 – death 1980.11.13), as Apostolic Vicar of Vientiane (Laos) (1952.03.13 – resigned 1975) and President of Episcopal Conference of Laos and Cambodia (1964 – retired 1978)* Norbert Werbs (1981.01.07 – death 2023.01.03), first as Auxiliary Bishop of North German Missions (Germany) (1981.01.07 – 1994.10.24), then Auxiliary Bishop emeritus of Hamburg (Germany) (1994.10.24 – retired 2015.05.20).
