Slovakia (Latin Rite) Reorganization

Following the reorganization of the Byzantine rite jurisdictions of Slovakia a fortnight ago, today the Latin rite jurisdictions were adjusted as follows:

The Archdiocese of Bratislava-Trnava was split into the Archdiocese of Bratislava (which becomes the Metropolitan) and the Archdiocese of Trnava. The ordinaries are Archbishop-designate Stanislav Zvolenský and Archbishop Ján Sokol, respectively.

The new Diocese of Žilina was created with territory taken from Banská Bystrica and Nitra with Bishop Tomáš Gális as its first ordinary.
