Life

Born in Ljubljana, Alojz Uran was ordained to the priesthood on 29 June 1970, at the age of 25.

On 16 December 1992, Uran was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Ljubljana and Titular Bishop of Abula. He received his episcopal consecration on 6 January 1993 from Pope John Paul II, with Archbishops Giovanni Battista Re and Justin Rigali serving as co-consecrators.

Uran was later named Archbishop of Ljubljana on 25 October 2004. He succeeded Archbishop Franc Rodé, CM, who became Prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. His installation took place on the following 4 December.

gollark: I figure people are mostly prompted by *something* instead of just bringing it up entirely at random, and a ControversialEsolangs server would lack many of those prompts if it's purely for that.
gollark: And controversial stuff has never arisen from discussing something else?
gollark: The idea of a "ControversialEsolangs" for that probably wouldn't work well for various reasons, including the difficulty of moving active conversations, cognitive overhead of switching and lots of overhead deciding when to switch, a smaller set of people there even if they could otherwise participate interestingly, and somewhat more difficult-to-express issues like, er, selection effects.
gollark: I think it's a nice-to-have property but not worth sacrificing much else for.
gollark: You can see when it is *happening*, if you happen to be active, and ignore it for a bit.
