Gregorij Ro%C5%BEman
Gregorij Roman was a Slovenian Roman Catholic prelate. Between 1930 and 1959, he served as bishop of the Diocese of Ljubljana. He may be bestremembered for his controversial role during World War II. Roman was an ardent anticommunist and opposed the Liberation Front of the Slovene People and the partisan forces because they were led by the Communist party. He established relations with both the fascist and Nazi occupying powers, issued proclamations of support for the occupying authorities, and supported armed collaborationist forces organized by the fascist and Nazi occupiers. The Yugoslav Communist government convicted him in absentia in August 1946 of treason for collaborating with the Nazis against the Yugoslav resistance. In 2009, his conviction was annulled on procedural grounds.

The family lived on a mediumsized farm, had seven children and was severely indebted. In 1889 he started attending public school in mihel and then enrolled in a gymnasium in Klagenfurt.
