Bishop Glavan's Priority Is to Consolidate Slovenian Church

Novo Mesto, 14 August - Bishop Andrej Glavan's priority as the new head of the Slovenian Bishops' Conference will be to consolidate the Slovenian Catholic Church after two leading dignitaries stepped down over the financial scandal at the Maribor Archdiocese. But he says the Church is not responsible for the collapse of the archdiocese's holdings.
