About Giorgio Parchich
Lived 1658 – 1703 (aged 44–45). Giorgio Parchich was a catholic priest and catholic bishop.
Juraj Parčić (, ; 1658–1703) was a Croatian prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the bishop of Nin from 1690 to 1703.
Biography Juraj Parčić was born in Sebenico (Šibenik), Republic of Venice (now Croatia) on 28 April 1658.
On 8 May 1690, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Alexander VIII as Bishop of Nin .
On 13 April 1692, during the Morean War fought between Venice and the Ottoman Empire, Parčić reported that the Diocese of Nin had 5,486 Catholic and 7,363 Eastern Orthodox Christian inhabitants. The same year, Parčić reported to Rome that he managed to "bring to obedience" all Eastern Orthodox Christians in his diocese, while his general vicar Karlo de Rossi writes at the same time that half of the diocese is "schismatic". Mile Bogović explains the conflicting reports by noting that the Venetian government considered all Christians on its territory, regardless of rite, to be Catholics. In contrast, others, mainly the Latin-rite bishops, considered only members of the Latin Church to be Catholics. The number of converts was often inflated in reports to emphasise the pastoral work of a certain bishop, while, at the same time, a large number of "schismatics" in a diocese wasn't considered commendable.
In 1700, after the peace treaty with the Ottomans, the Serbian Orthodox archbishop Atanasije Ljubojević of Dabar-Bosnia, claiming the territory of the diocese of Nin, arrived there from the Ottoman Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, Parčić managed to divert his aim to subject the Catholic population to his jurisdiction.
He served as the bishop of Nin until his death in February 1703.
