FROM RENAISSANCE TO A PRECIPICE OVER THE ACHE PATRIARCH LUKIJAN BOGDANOVIĆ

Summary/Abstract: Patriarch Lukijan Bogdanović was the last head of the Patriarchate of Karlovci, whichhad existed for two centuries, first as a metropolitanate and later a patriarchate. He was elected Bishopof Buda when he was very young, and he proved to be a highly capable at running thediocese/bishopric. From 1908 on, as a young patriarch, he faced unresolvable difficulties and issuesrelated to religious and educational autonomy, the Patriarchate itself, and relations between Austria-Hungary and Serbia. Attacked, defamed, and misunderstood by the Serbian public, he soon beganfalling victim to poor health. His tragic death, which many years later again became an object of publicinterest, made him seem more sensational than he actually was, and his educational and ecclesiasticalwork remained in the background.
