Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Trnava

The Archdiocese of Trnava Trnava or Archdiocese (Latin: Archidioecesis Tyrnaviensis, Slovak:. Trnavská arcidiecéza or Trnavské arcibiskupstvo ) is a Roman Catholic Archdiocese in Slovakia based in Trnava.

History

The area of present-day Archdiocese of Trnava was spun off to church law on 29 May 1922 as the Apostolic Administration of Trnava from the Archdiocese of Esztergom. On December 30, 1977, Pope Paul VI. these Governorship with the Apostolic Constitution Praescriptionum sacrosancti completely out of the Metropolitan Association of Esztergom and raised them with the Apostolic Constitution Qui divino to the archbishopric Trnava and the seat of a metropolitan. The so newly created ecclesiastical province of the bishoprics of Banská Bystrica, Košice, Nitra, Rožňava and Spis were assigned as suffragan dioceses.

By decree of the Congregation for Bishops on 31 May 1995, the Archdiocese of Trnava was renamed the Archdiocese of Bratislava - Trnava and raised in Bratislava St. Martin's Co-Cathedral. At the same time erected by Pope John Paul II with the collection of the Diocese of Košice to an archbishopric by the Apostolic Constitution Pastorali quidem permoti a second ecclesiastical province in Slovakia, where the dioceses Rožňava and Spis were assigned and thus divided the aforesaid dioceses of the Ecclesiastical Province of Bratislava - Trnava from.

On 14 February 2008 announced Pope Benedict XVI. with the Apostolic Constitution Slovachiae Sacrorum from the area around Bratislava from the Archdiocese of Bratislava - Trnava and erected the Archdiocese of Bratislava. At the same time the seat of the Metropolitan of Trnava was moved to Bratislava and thus the existing ecclesiastical province of Bratislava - Trnava restructured the church province of Bratislava. The Archdiocese of Trnava is associated with the Archdiocese of Bratislava suffragan, but remains at the rank of an archbishopric, whose archbishop carries no pallium, because he no longer holds the rank of a metropolitan. For the first Archbishop of Trnava, the then Archbishop of Bratislava - Trnava, Ján Sokol was appointed.
