He was one of the more important Catholic bishops of Croatian origin in his time. He was born in Šibenik, and was part of the known Divnić family, which settled in Šibenik in the 14th century from Skradin, and had likely settled there from Bosnia earlier.[8] Bishop Juraj wrote Pope Alexander VI about the catastrophe right after the Battle of Krbava.

On 20 April 1693, he sent a report to the Congregation that there were 5486 Roman Catholics and 7363 Orthodox Serbs in his Bishopric. In the territory of his bishopric there was also a Serbian episcope. The Roman Catholics had 21 priests, while the Orthodox had 15. Bishop Georgius said that he worked to Uniate the Orthodox, preaching for them and teaching them the faith and the true, Catholic teachings. On 1 June 1696, he mentions that thanks to his efforts the population of the village of Poločnik denounced the "Schismatic wrongs" – the Orthodox faith, and accepted the Roman faith.
