Catholic Church
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. The pope, who is the bishop of Rome, is the chief pastor of the church. The bishopric of Rome, known as the Holy See, is the central governing authority of the church. The administrative body of the Holy See, the Roman Curia, has its principal offices in Vatican City, a small enclave of the Italian city of Rome, of which the pope is head of state. The core beliefs of Catholicism are found in the Nicene Creed. The Catholic Church teaches that it is the on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ''eparchia' ... [...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. Life Augustin Kažotić was born in 1260 in Trogir in the then- Kingdom of Dalmatia-CroatiaJohn Van Antwerp Fine: The Early Medieval Balkans: A Critical Survey from the Sixth to the Late Twelfth Century, 1991, p. 150-152. to nobles.

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] |
