Early life

Vinković was born in 1581 in Jastrebarsko.Шаблон:Sfn While some contemporary sources say his parents, Petar and Magdalena, were free peasants, others, including Toma Kovačević, claim they were serfs.Шаблон:Sfn During his early years, Vinković was educated by Jesuits in seminaries in Erdelj, Zagreb, and Vienna.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In 1606 Vinković became rector of the Ilyrian College in Bologne,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and in 1608 he received a PhD in philosophy.Шаблон:Sfn

Due to Vatican policies on Ottoman-controlled territories in Europe, several Jesuit priests who fluently spoke different Slavic languages were appointed to higher positions in the Catholic church.

Relations with the Eastern Orthodox

Vinković is among the notable clergy that tried to unite the Eastern Orthodox populace and clergy on the territory of the Military Frontier that belonged to the Diocese of Zagreb with the Catholic Church.Шаблон:Sfn

According to Serb historian Slavko Gavrilović, Vinković (and Petar Petretić) wrote numerous inaccurate texts meant to incite hatred against Serbs and Eastern Orthodox Christians, some of which included advice on how to Catholicize the Serbs.Шаблон:Sfn Vinković also targeted the bishop of Marča, Maksim Predojević, whom he reported to the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith after refusing to support the conversion of the population of his bishopric to Catholicism.Шаблон:Sfn

Vinković estimated the number of Serbs in Slavonia to be about 74,000.Шаблон:Sfn In 1640 Vinković requested Predojević's deposition from the Roman Curia in his 1640 letter to the Pope's nuncio in Vienna.Шаблон:Sfn Vinković claimed that Predojević was subordinate to him and Vinković expected to receive some income from him.Шаблон:Sfn He also intended to appoint Rafael Levaković as bishop of Marča instead of Predojević.Шаблон:Sfn

In the same year, he reported that Serbs still used the Cyrillic script.Шаблон:Sfn In a 1673 letter, Vinković reported that some Serbs from Istria, Senj, and Vinodolski had been converted to Catholicism.Шаблон:Sfn
