Anton MahniÄ
Anton Mahnič or Antun Mahnič ( born September 14, 1850 in Kobdilj, † December 30, 1920 in Zagreb) was from 1896 until his death Bishop of Krk (Italian Veglia ). He was a great patron of the Slovenian and Croatian culture and was very active in the former Yugoslav National Movement.
As a parish pastor and a Catholic publicist Mahnič initially worked in Gorizia; there he founded in 1889 the Slovene-speaking church newspaper Rimsky katolik.
As Bishop of Veglia, he supported the use and dissemination of the ancient Glagolitic script and engaged in his diocese for the preservation of the ancient Slavic rite. In 1901 he had to hold a diocesan synod in his diocese. For the Slavic and church history research he founded in 1902 on the Old Slavic Academy of Krk.
Because of his political commitment to the national cause of the Yugoslavs, the chief shepherd of a bilingual ( Croatian and Italian ) Diocese in 1919 had to answer before the ecclesiastical authorities of the Holy See in Rome.
