In 1252, Pope Innocent IV decided to put Bosnia's bishop under the Hungarian Kalocsa jurisdiction. This decision provoked the resistance of the Bosnian Christians, who refused to submit to the Hungarians and broke off their relations with Rome.

In 1254, rebelling against the Papal order to accept a Hungarian bishop, the Bosnian Church chose '''[[schism]]''' (ecclesially autonomous but mainly following Orthodox doctrine). In that way, an autonomous Bosnian Church came into being. Some later saw in this the beginning of a Bogomil or Cathar Church. In reality no trace of bogomilism, Catharism or dualism can be found in the original documents of the Bosnian Christians. Some scholars, who sought certain ideological backgrounds and justifications for their political narratives, argue that both Catholics and Orthodox persecuted the Bogomils as heretics and according to them, the pressures drew Bosnia to Bogomilism.
