- Abstract
Father Frane Bulić (1846-1934), distinguished Croatian archaeologist, very actively followed the events taking place in Croatia after World War One and the collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy. He observed the needs of the common people and the clergy in the part of the Archdiocese of Zadar that belonged to the Kingdom of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, whilst by the Treaty of Rapallo (12 November 1920), the city of Zadar was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy. Feeling the need for a more successful and more efficient operation of the clergy, Father Bulić considered that a new diocesan seat in the closest vicinity of Zadar should be established. Taking into consideration both the pastoral and the historical reasons in relation, in his opinion, the best choice for the seat would be Nin, Pag or Biograd; on other words, in the said moment, the best solution would be to revive the Nin and Biograd Dioceses in the framework of one and united Nin-Biograd Diocese with the seat in Biograd. On 20 December 1933, in order to initiate this idea, Father Bulić sent a petition to the Catholic Episcopate in Zagreb and a copy thereof to nuncio Hermenegildo Pelegrinetti in Belgrade. Th ough the original of Bulić's petition was most probably lost, Father Ante Letinić (1899-1945) made a copy thereof in his paper entitled "Th e Action of the Clergy of the Former Archdiocese of Zadar Directed Towards the Restoration, Independence and Unity of the Nin Diocese". Th is is the fi rst publication including parts of the said copy.
