Teofil Pašić

Teofil Pašić, O.S.B.M. (c.1700 – 1759) was a Ruthenian and Croatian Greek Catholic hierarch. He was the titular bishop Plataea and Vicar Apostolic of Marča from 1738 to 1746.

Before his nomination as bishop, Fr. Pašić was the chaplain in Potsdam for the Greek-Catholic soldiers in the Army of Frederick William I of Prussia and then as teacher in the Greek-Catholic Theological Seminary in Zagreb.[1]

He was appointed as the Bishop by the Holy See on 28 August 1738. He was consecrated to the Episcopate on 20 January 1739. The principal consecrator was Archbishop Basilio Matranga.[2] He was removed from office of the Vicar Apostolic and exiled in the Basilian monastery.

He died in the St. Onuphrius Basilian Monastery in Lviv (in present day – Ukraine) on 1759.
