Abstract
In 2003 Monsignor Dr. Sc. Marin Srakić wrote to the Congregation for Catholic Education, asking for their approval to establish the Faculty of Theology in Đakovo. After his visit to Rome, Bishop Marin wrote another letter, enclosing the requested documents. Having informed the Croatian Bishops’ Conference and Catholic Faculty of Theology in Zagreb as well as the Senate of the University of Josip Juraj Strossmayer in Osijek about his intentions, bishop Marin wrote his third letter to the Congregation. Both Catholic Faculty and Croatian Bishops’ Conference accepted his initiative. In autumn, 2004 necessary documents were gathered, so the bishop sent his fourth letter to the Congregation in January, 2005. Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski, head of the Congregation, signed the Decree on the establishment of the Catholic Faculty of Theology in Đakovo on June 4th, 2005. The last document issued in this process was the Decree by the diocesan bishop, Marin Srakić, which launched the activities of the Faculty.
