Archibishop Stadler's year in Sarajevo
Mile Vidović
Abstract
In 8 December 1997 (the Immaculate Conception) in Sarajevo
cardinal Vinko Puljić opened Year of the first archbishop of Sarajevo
Josip Stadler which will last tili the same day in 1998, when will be celebrating 80 anniversary of Stadler's death. During the year,
numerous meetings with lectures about that meritorious church
sheperd are going to be held. In September 1998 scientific
symposium of several day's duration will be held about him.
This article, based on scientific literature that is marked in the
text, elaborates Stadler's life and his activity from his birth to his
death (1843-1918). Firstly it talks about Stadler's origin, then
scooling and activity as a priest in Zagreb. Then talks about his
bishop's activity in Bosnia, then his busy architectural activity:
building of cathedral, little seminary in Travnik and a big seminary in
Sarajevo. Stadler showed charitable-social care by founding
Community of servent-women of Little Jesus, what is especially
pointed out in this article. The article speaks also about archbischop
Stadler's spiritual figure, then his busyness for promotion of Church
union. Certainly, Stadler's patriotism is not possible to avoid, and is
also actual today, so that question has place in this review. At the end the point in question is about his last days and his death, and finaly about arrival of pope John Paul the Second at his tomb in Sarajevo's cathedral. The conclusion speaks about Stadler as great sheperd who was always loyal to Holy See and was always disposed to serve to the brothers.
