When Rastislav of Moravia sent a message to the Byzantine Emperor Michael III in 863, he asked for a “bishop and teacher” in it. His intention was building an own ecclesiastical administration independent from the Bavarian church structures and strengthening his independence not only in the sphere of power but also in the ecclesiastical one. The brothers of Thessaloniki – Constantine-Cyril and Method, leaders of the Byzantine mission, were outstanding scholars, they contributed to the enormous growth of culture, education and liturgy, but they were not bishops. It was until 869 that pope as archbishop (on the request of the Prince Kocelj) ordained Method, by renewing ancient Pannonian archbishop´s seat in Syrmia (today in Serbia). The article deals with ecclesiastic – legal status of Method, that was formally archbishop of Pannonia, but he was active in the Great Moravian territory. It is devoted to the complicated issues of the relations with Bavarian church structures and to the problems of the residential church.
