"The Trnava Apostolic Administrature was promoted to the level of diocese and Metropolitan See," -a decision that Slovaks had been waiting for more than 1000 years. In the Papal Bull "Qui Divino" dated December 30, 1977, Pope Paul VI proclaimed Slovakia an independent ecclesiastical province. By the document "Praescriptionum sacrosancti", he demarcated new dioceses which borders were inconsistent with the official Slovak borders. Viliam Judák |
