By a Yugoslav law passed in 1930, the Patriarch is selected by the King from three candidates elected by prelates, Orthodox Cabinet ministers, State officials. The Church hastily excommunicated Premier Stoyadinovich and six of his ministers, thereby disqualifying them and postponing the election.

Within a week the Premier and Cabinet members were received back into the Orthodox Church, the election...
