The article examines the Olomouc diocesan synods of the sixteenth century, which were dedicated, after the Council of Trent, to the acceptance of its decrees within the environment of the Moravian clergy. The synod, organised after the end of the council negotiations of Bishop Vilém Prusinovský in 1568, accepted the council decisions only in terms of the content. Nothing was printed against the decision at the time. Another diocesan synod was finally organised in 1591 by the Olomouc bishop Stanislav Pavlovský of Pavlovice. This synod formally accepted the decision of the Council of Trent in its integrality. Due to the circumstances, however, the organisation of the synods did not become a rule in the Moravian Church; this synod was consequently the last diocesan synod in the Olomouc diocese until present time.
