Strossmayer, Joseph Georg

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | 450 words | Copyright

Strossmayer, Joseph Georg (1815–1905), RC Bp. of Djakovo in Croatia from 1850. He promoted the cause of pan-Slavism, worked for reunion with the Orthodox Church of Serbia and Russia, and spent large sums on education, regardless of the denomination of the beneficiaries. At the First Vatican Council (1869–70) he opposed the definition of Papal infallibility and caused a ‘scene’ by his ill-timed defence of Protestantism.
