The Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, is the largest Christian church, with 1.3 billion baptized Catholics worldwide . It is among the world's oldest and largest international institutions, and has played a prominent role in the history and development of Western civilization. O'Collins, p. v (preface). The church consists of 24 ''sui iuris'' churches, including the Latin Church and 23 Eastern Catholic Churches, which comprise almost 3,500 dioceses and eparchies located around the world.

Eparchy Of Križevci
Eparchy ( gr, ἐπαρχία, la, eparchía / ''overlordship'') is an ecclesiastical unit in Eastern Christianity, that is equivalent to a diocese in Western Christianity. Eparchy is governed by an ''eparch'', who is a bishop. Depending on the administrative structure of a specific Eastern Church, eparchy can belong to an ecclesiastical province (usually a metropolis), but it can also be exempt. Each eparchy is divided into parishes, in the same manner as a diocese in Western Churches. Historical development of eparchies in various Eastern Churches was marked by local distinctions, that can be observed in modern ecclesiastical practices of Eastern Orthodox Churches, Oriental Orthodox Churches and Eastern Catholic Churches. Terminology The English word ''eparchy'' is an anglicized term, that comes from the original Greek word ( grc-koi, , eparchía, overlordship, ). It is an abstract noun, formed with an intensive prefix (, , + , , ). It is commonly Latinized as ''eparchi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Augustin Kažotić
Blessed Augustin Kažotić ( it, Agostino Casotti, hu, Kazotics Ágoston; 1260 – 3 August 1323) was a Dalmatian-Croatian Roman Catholic prelate and professed member from the Order of Preachers who served as the Bishop of Lucera from 1322 until his death. Kažotić was a humanist and orator who had served first as the Bishop of Zagreb from 1303 until 1322. Kažotić studied in Paris before returning to his homeland where he began working in the missions and preaching in modern Bosnia. He was one of the first humanist figures to appear in southern Croatia. His reputation for personal holiness remained noted long after his death; this resulted in Pope Innocent XII confirming the late bishop's beatification in 1700.

Michael Bő
Michael from the kindred Bő ( hu, Bő nembeli Mihály, hr, Mihalj; died August/October 1304), was a Hungarian prelate at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, who served as Bishop of Zagreb from 1296 to 1303, then Archbishop of Esztergom from 1303 until his death. Early career Michael was born into the Ders branch of the ''gens'' (clan) Bő, which originated from Somogy County, and was one of the ancient ethnic Hungarian kindreds which had participated in the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin in late 9th century. His younger brother was Peter the Toothed. Through their unidentified paternal aunt (a sister of their father Stephen), Michael and Peter were related to the ''gens'' Monoszló and its influential contemporary members, brothers Egidius, Gregory and Peter. As contemporary sources frequently referred to him with the prefix "''magister''", Michael studied canon law. In 1270, he was a notary in the court of King Stephen V.

Anthony, Bishop Of Zagreb
Anthony ( hu, Antal, hr, Antun; died 5 November 1287) was a prelate in the 13th century, who briefly served as Bishop of Zagreb in 1287. Career Prior to his election as Bishop of Zagreb, Anthony served as provost of the collegiate chapter of Székesfehérvár. Following the death of Timothy, he was elected as suffragan of Zagreb in early May 1287 (the cathedral chapter's list of bishops from the 14th century states that Anthony functioned in this capacity for six months before his death). According to Croatian historian Antun Nekić, his previous position reflects that he was a candidate of the Hungarian royal court of Ladislaus IV or the prelates of the realm rather than the local clerics and the cathedral chapter. Lelja Dobronić claims that his election was confirmed by the Holy See without delay. During his short episcopal administration, Anthony appears only once in the sources. On 6 October 1287, he resolved a long-time dispute between the bishop and the cathedral chapter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Through his brother Paul, he had a nephew Nicholas, who was granted the castle of Hricsó (present-day Hričovské Podhradie, Slovakia) by Béla IV of Hungary in 1265, courtesy to his uncle. The clan existed until the mid-14th century.Engel: ''Genealógia'' (Genus Bejc) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Stephen II, Bishop Of Zagreb
Stephen II ( hr, Stjepan, hu, István; 1190/95 – 10 July 1247) was a Croatian– Hungarian prelate of the Catholic Church who served as Bishop of Zagreb from 1225 until his death in 1247. Theories of origin Stephen II was born between 1190 and 1195. Croatian historian Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski thought that Stephen originated from the Babonić noble family, which argument was also accepted by a majority of scholars in Croatia, including Neven Budak and Lejla Dobronić. In contrast, Baltazar Adam Krčelić regarded him as a relative of Prince Coloman and kings Andrew II and Béla IV. Both Krčelić and Pavao Ritter Vitezović considered Stephen belonged to the Hungarian clan Hahót (or Buzád). Hungarian historian Judit Gál shared this argument, while Gábor Barabási mentioned Stephen's "possible Hungarian origin". In his last will and testament from 1227, Hungarian ''ispán'' Sal Atyusz referred to Stephen as his "relative" ( la, consanguineus), which assumes that ...

Dominic, Bishop Of Zagreb
Dominic ( hr, Dominik, hu, Domokos or ''Domonkos''; died between 1201 and 1205) was a prelate at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries, who served as Bishop of Zagreb from around 1193 to 1201. Bishop of Zagreb First years Dominic was first referred to as Bishop of Zagreb in 1193. As a certain Crispin appeared in this dignity in the previous year, Dominic was elected to the office either 1192 or 1193. Dominic is the first Bishop of Zagreb, whose name was frequently mentioned by contemporary records. During his first episcopal years, his authority was weakened by fellow prelate Kalán Bár-Kalán, who also acted as Governor of Dalmatia and Croatia, but Dominic and his bishopric forged an advantage from the situation. Kalán took measures in favor of the Diocese of Zagreb in two lawsuits in 1193; he returned the land Kemenic to the bishopric against some castle warriors, while the tithes of the settlements Krapina, Okić and Pogoria were assigned to the diocese, instead of the d ...

Fancica
Fancica or Francica ( hu, Fancsika, hr, Francika; died after 1134) was a Hungarian prelate at the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries, who served as Bishop of Zagreb from around 1125 to 1131, then Archbishop of Kalocsa from 1131 until his death. Name His name is preserved by contemporary records in various forms, for instance, Fancica, Fantica or Francika. 18th-century Hungarian Jesuit scholar István Katona identified these variants as equivalents to Francis, although it derived from the given name of St. Francis of Assisi, who lived a century later. Despite this, Croatian historiography accepted this argumentation, while Hungarian academics translated his name to "Fancsika" or "Fáncsika". In the 11th-century Hungary, there was a local man named Fancica, originating from Szamosújvár (present-day Gherla, Romania), who guided the Hungarian royal army against the invading Oghuzes in 1068, which led to the victorious Battle of Kerlés. Ecclesiastical career Fancica started his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ladislaus I Of Hungary
Ladislaus I ( hu, László, hr, Ladislav, sk, Ladislav, pl, Władysław; 1040 – 29 July 1095), also known as Saint Ladislas, was King of Hungary from 1077 and King of Croatia from 1091. He was the second son of King Béla I of Hungary and Richeza (or Adelaide) of Poland. After Béla's death in 1063, Ladislaus and his elder brother, Géza, acknowledged their cousin Solomon as the lawful king in exchange for receiving their father's former duchy, which included one-third of the kingdom. They cooperated with Solomon for the next decade. Ladislaus's most popular legend, which narrates his fight with a "Cuman" (a Turkic nomad marauder) who abducted a Hungarian girl, is connected to this period. The brothers' relationship with Solomon deteriorated in the early 1070s, and they rebelled against him. Géza was proclaimed king in 1074, but Solomon maintained control of the western regions of his kingdom. During Géza's reign, Ladislaus was his brother's most influential adviser. ...
