(Redirected from Bishop of Prague)

The following is a list of bishops and archbishops of Prague. The bishopric of Prague was established in 973, and elevated to an archbishopric on 30 April 1344. The current Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Prague is the continual successor of the bishopric established in 973 (with a 140-year sede vacante in the Hussite era). In addition, the city also has an Eastern Orthodox archeparchy (archbishopric), Greek Catholic exarchate and the Prague diocese and patriarchate of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church seat in Prague.

Orthodox bishops of Prague

[edit]

The first Orthodox mission in Czech lands was led by Saints Cyril and Methodius, some time before the East–West Schism, with its centre in Moravia. The current Czech and Slovak Orthodox Church comes from the Czech Orthodox clubs and partly arose from the early Czechoslovak Church which separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the 1920s. Consequently, the Czechoslovak Church tended towards Protestantism and an Orthodox branch split off. The Prague Archeparchy encompasses the whole of Bohemia.

Greek Catholic bishops of Prague

[edit]

Apostolic Exarchate in the Czech Republic was established in 2006. Exarchs:

Prague bishops of the Czechoslovak Church and Czechoslovak Hussite Church

[edit]

The Czechoslovak Hussite Church (until 1971 Czechoslovak Church) split off from the Roman Catholics in 1920s. Initially the church varied between Catholic modernism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism; today it is a Protestant church in principle.

  1. Karel Farský, 1925–1927
  2. Gustav Adolf Procházka, 1928–1942
  3. Miroslav Novák, 1946–1962
  4. Josef Kupka, 1962–1982 (in 1971, the church was renamed to "Hussite")
  5. Miroslav Durchánek, 1982–1988
  6. René Hradský, 1989–1999
  7. Karel Bican 1999–2007
  8. David Tonzar, since 2008
