History
Pope John Paul II erected the Apostolic Exarchate of the Greek Catholic Church in the Czech Republic, a jurisdiction of the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church, on 13 March 1996. In the years after the 1989 Velvet Revolution, the same pope directed that the married men who had been secretly and irregularly ordained as Roman Catholic priests by underground bishop Felix Maria Davídek undergo conditional re-ordination, followed by permanent liturgical transfer to the Byzantine Rite Exarchate.
