Petar Petretić
Petar Petretić (1604 – 12 October 1667) was a historian, linguist, and Catholic bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Zagreb (1648–1667). Activities related to Serbs With accentuated hatred Petretić (and Benedikt Vinković) wrote numerous obviously untrue texts and even larger elaborates against Serbs and Orthodox Christianity, with detailed advises how to Catholicize Serbs. Petretić was afraid that many Catholics would convert to Orthodox Christianity because of the privileges Orthodox Serbs received. He worked hard to convert Serbs into Eastern Catholicism and wrote a detailed work about the Serbs. In 1648 the king appointed Sava Stanislavić as bishop of the Bishopric of Marča, as wished by the Slavonian Serbs, although Petretić proposed another candidate. In 1650 Petretić persuaded Simeon Kordić, archimandrite of Lepavina, to act against the Serbs. Kordić received funds to establish school for education of Serb children as Catholics. In 1651 he wrote a work ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bishopric Of Marča
In church governance, a diocese or bishopric is the ecclesiastical district under the jurisdiction of a bishop. History In the later organization of the Roman Empire, the increasingly subdivided provinces were administratively associated in a larger unit, the diocese (Latin ''dioecesis'', from the Greek term διοίκησις, meaning "administration"). Christianity was given legal status in 313 with the Edict of Milan. Churches began to organize themselves into dioceses based on the civil dioceses, not on the larger regional imperial districts. These dioceses were often smaller than the provinces. Christianity was declared the Empire's official religion by Theodosius I in 380. Constantine I in 318 gave litigants the right to have court cases transferred from the civil courts to the bishops. This situation must have hardly survived Julian, 361–363. Episcopal courts are not heard of again in the East until 398 and in the West in 408. The quality of these courts was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
