Talk:Archdiocese of Uppsala

This article is written with a denomination bias and is not NPOV

This article is not written from a neutral point of view. The pre-reformation section takes most of its information from early 20th century Roman Catholic sources. The sectarian bias is obvious from this section in the Former Catholic archbishopric section that I have moved here:

"The beneficial labours of the Catholic Church were forgotten in the stormy days of the Reformation, but meanwhile have been once more recognized by more dispassionate investigators. Dr. Claes Annerstedt, the historian of Uppsala University, says: "One of the finest results of modern research is that the highly important labours of the Roman Church have received proper recognition by the exhibition of its services in the preservation and spread of civilization."

After the Swedish crown under the rule of King Gustav I Vasa had exchanged Catholicism for Lutheranism as official religion, the Roman hierarchy as such disappeared. When a new Catholic missionary jurisdiction was established, it was not at any of the ancient episcopal sees but an apostolic prefecture in 1781, from 1783 promoted to vicariate apostolic, in the Swedish capital Stockholm, which became an exempt bishopric (for all Sweden) in 1953, when the same status was given in Norway to Oslo, which had only in 1869 been split from the Swedish apostolic vicariate."
