Apostolic Exarchate in the Czech Republic

Eastern Catholic jurisdiction in Czechia

The Apostolic Exarchate of the Greek Catholic Church in the Czech Republic is an exarchate of the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church that was erected by Pope John Paul II on 13 March 1996. Also following the 1989 Velvet Revolution, the married men secretly and irregularly ordained as Roman Catholic priests by underground bishop Felix Maria Davídek were ordered by Pope John Paul II to submit to conditional re-ordination followed by their permanent liturgical transfer to the Byzantine Rite Exarchate.2 It is headquartered in Prague.1 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
