The text analyses the priestly live of Karol Anton Medvecký in the first period of his pastoral ministry concretely, in the years 1902 – 1909. In this time, the priest of the Banská Bystrica’s diocese was replaced many times to a smaller and inferior parish. It can be generalized that Medvecký’s frequent transfer from parish to parish was a form of punishment. This method was first used by the diocesan vicar Ján Havran, and after the exchange of bishops, it was adopted by the new ordinary of the diocese, Wolfgang Radnai. In this way, they tried to break the persecuted priest and persuade him to give up his national activities and contacts. Subsequently, the position of the priest in the diocese only deteriorated and he spent only a few months or weeks in some parishes. The text evaluates the priest’s relationship with the church hierarchy, but also with his pastors and believers, whose character was also specific.

The aim of the study is to analyse the development of disputes between the priest Karol Anton Medvecký and Bishop Wolfgang Radnai in the second decade of the 20th century. The conflict, which took place in the territory of the Banská Bystrica diocese, depicts rivalry relationships between politically active Slovak priests and the Hungarian episcopate – integrally connected with the official Hungarian political discourse. It began when the bishop relocated the priest into the complicated parish of Bacurov, where Medvecký had to face geographical, economic, mental and cultural isolation. After many years of ignoring his requests for relocation, the priest raised complaints against the bishop to the nunciature in Vienna and subsequently to the Council of the Congregation in Rome.
