Juraj Haulik de Váralya (Slovak: Juraj Haulík Váralyai, Hungarian: Haulík Váralyai György; 20 April 1788 – 11 May 1869)[1] was a Croatian cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church of Slovak ethnicity and the first archbishop of Zagreb. He was also acting ban of Croatia for two separate terms.
Life
[edit]
He studied theology and philosophy in Trnava, Esztergom and Vienna.[2] After the death of bishop Aleksandar Alagović in 1837, Haulik was proclaimed bishop.[2][3] In 1840 he began his first term as acting ban of Croatia after the death of ban Franjo Vlašić.[4] He is credited for introducing the Croatian language into schools and workplaces, as well as forming the Matica hrvatska in 1842.[2] He helped the organization of Maksimir park in Zagreb.[2]
He was succeeded as ban by the Hungarian Franz Haller. Haller was brought in to carry on Magyarization in Croatia, which included the banning of the then Croatian banner name: Illyrians. A protest by the Croatian People's Party in 1845 was put out violently by Haller, leaving thirteen protestors dead, and ending his time as ban.[citation needed] Haulik was again called upon to take up the post.
During this term, the Croatian language was made official in the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia in 1847. In 1848, in the midst of revolutions in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, military man Josip Jelačić was proclaimed ban, terminating union with Hungary and advocating for Croatian autonomy.[5]
Some further autonomy did materialize for Croatia in the following years, as Haulik was proclaimed the first archbishop and metropolitan of Zagreb in 1852.[1] With this, the Catholic Church in Croatia became independent from Hungary. In 1856 he was also named Cardinal.[2] He carried on in these posts until his death in 1869.
While he was an ethnic Slovak, he said of his background: I was born a Slovak, but I will die a Croat.[6] In 1999, Croatia and Slovakia put out a joint-issue stamp featuring Haulik.[7]
