Abstract
The paper is divided into two parts. The first part presents a brief history of disagreements between Archbishop Stadler and the Franciscans in Bosnia over the distribution of parishes from 1881 to 1910 and serves as an introductory chapter to the second part of the paper, which deals with the role of the apostolic delegate Pierre Bastien in resolving, or not resolving, the problem of distribution of parishes in the Vrhbosnian Archdiocese during the Archbishop Stadler’s time and the apostolic visitation of delegate Bastien, which lasted from the end of 1910 to the middle of 1914. The first part of the paper was made mainly on the basis of the available literature, in which the topic is fairly sufficiently covered, and the second part on the basis of unpublished archival material, mostly from the Vatican Apostolic Archive. Apostolic delegate Bastien was dealing with this issue intensively in 1911 and 1912. He offered several solutions. But, in the end, the status quo remained, with the limitation of Archbishop Stadler's right to establish new parishes, which was in accordance with the wishes of the Franciscans and the Austro-Hungarian government.
