The Archdiocese of Đakovo-Osijek ( Croat . Đakovačko-osiječka nadbiskupija , Latin Archidioecesis Diacovensis-Osijekensis ) is an archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church in Croatia . It extends over the historical regions of Slavonia , Baranja and Srijem in Croatia (and partly in Vojvodina in Serbia ).
history
When Christianity spread between the upper rivers of the Drava and Vrbas , and also in the other areas of Pannonia , the diocese of Bosnia was founded. It is first mentioned in 1088. Around the year 1250 the bishop and his capitulars left the bishopric of Bosnia and moved to Đakovo . It is assumed that the conflicts with the then emerging Bogumil heresy in the area of today's Bosnia and Herzegovina and the supporters of the "Bosnian Church" (also known as "Bosnian Christians") contributed to this predominantly. After the victory over the Ottomans in 1683 before Vienna , Slavonia and most of Syrmia are liberated. This leads to a reorganization of the Roman Catholic Church in these areas.
The diocese of Syrmia, which was founded in the 4th century, suffered severe devastation from the Avars and Huns . After the death of Bishop Method of Saloniki in 885 it became completely extinct. It was not renewed until 1231. In 1773 the diocese is united with the diocese of Bosnia on the initiative of Pope Clement XIV . The bishop's seat (the cathedra) is moved to Đakovo. Since 1963 it was called the Diocese of Đakovo and Syrmia . The ecclesiastical province carried the additional designation "Bosnian ecclesiastical province" until 2008. Josip Juraj Strossmayer is considered the most famous bishop of the diocese . He had the monumental Cathedral of St. Peter (Croat. Sv. Petar ) built in Đakovo. Politically, he was particularly committed to the Croatian people and founded various cultural institutions.
On June 18, 2008 the diocese of Syrmia was separated from the previous diocese of Đakovo and Syrmia. The diocese of Đakovo was raised to the archbishopric and it was renamed the archbishopric Đakovo-Osijek . The dioceses Požega and Syrmia were assigned to him as suffragan dioceses .
