Gregory of Nin (Croatian: Grgur Ninskipronounced[ɡr̩̂ɡuːrnîːnskiː]; Latin: Gregorius Ninnius) was a Croatian Catholic prelate who served as a medieval Bishop of Nin and strongly opposed the pope and official circles of the Catholic Church.[further explanation needed] He introduced the Croatian language in the religious services after the Great Assembly in 926, according to traditional Croatian historiography. Until that time, services were held only in Latin (being under the jurisdiction of Roman influence before the Great Schism), not being understandable to a majority of the population. Not only was this important for Croatian language and culture, but it also made Christianity stronger within the Croatian kingdom.[1][page needed]
