Danilo Jakšić (Srpske Moravice, 1715 - Plaški, 27 January 1771) was a Serbian Orthodox bishop of Gornji Karlovci from 1751 to 1771, with the archbishop's chair in Plaški.[1]
Origin and early years[edit]
Danilo Jakšić was born in 1715 in Srpske Moravice, to father Mileta and mother Stojna. In his youth, he went to the monastery of Gomirje's seminary and became a monk. At the age of nineteen, he was ordained a hierodeacon and then a hieromonk by Bishop Danilo Ljubotina, where he later served in Plaški. He lived in the Gomirje monastery under the abbot Teodor Miletić for eighteen years. Then he served Bishop Pavle Nenadović, who entrusted him with the service of exarch in 1748. When Pavle Nenadović became the Metropolitan of Karlovac (1749),[2]he made Danilo Jakšić the Archimandrite of Gomirje, entrusting him with a temporary administration not only in the Diocese of Gornja Karlovac but also in the neighboring Diocese of Kostajnica, which remained vacant in the same year due to the death of Bishop Aleksije Andrejević.[3]
At the council held in 1750, the Serbian hierarchy made two important decisions: Lika and Krbava were excluded from the jurisdiction of the Kostajnica diocese and transferred to the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Gornja Karlovac, and the area of the former Diocese of Severin-Lepavina was annexed to the Diocese of Kostajnica. At that time, Arsenija Teofanović was elected the new bishop of Kostajnica, and at the same time, Danilo Jakšić was elected the new bishop of Gornji Karlovac. [4]In the Rakovac monastery, on 4 November 1751, he was consecrated a bishop by Metropolitan Nenadović. [5]
Episcopal service[edit]
The synodal election of Danilo II (Jakšić) as the bishop of Gornja Karlovačka was made on 3 June 1750, however, due to the delay of the state authorities with the confirmation, the ordination could be performed only on 4 November 1751. Due to a new delay, the enthronement took place only on 19 August 1752. Despite all these and many other troubles that came from the state government, Bishop Danilo Jakšić developed a very lively pastoral activity in the following years, gaining great merits for the development and defense of Orthodoxy in his diocese and beyond. He enjoyed a very high reputation so that at the Church-People's Assembly, which was held in 1769, he was proposed for the Metropolitan of Karlovac, receiving even the majority of votes.[6][7] However, the state government thwarted his choice. Unlike Danilo Jakšić, the neighboring bishop of Kostajnica, Josif Stojanović, did not succeed in his diocese, which led to numerous troubles and his removal from the diocesan administration (1769), as a result of which a procedure was initiated to abolish the Kostajnica diocese.[8]On that occasion, a decision was made that the entire Banija be attached to the Diocese of Gornja Karlovac, while the area of the Varaždin Generalete was annexed to the Diocese of Pakrac. After all these changes, the area of the Diocese of Gornji Karlovac was finally completed, which again included the entire Upper Krajina, as in the time of Bishop Atanasije Ljubojević. Bishop Danilo Jakšić died on 27 January 1771 in Plaški and was remembered as one of the most deserving and respected archbishops of this diocese. [9]
