Sažetak
The ‘catholic restoration’ in this case is a widely accepted process of recuperation and rebuilding of the Catholic Church. The Trident Council (1545.-1563.) helped the church crisis to dissolve and a process of recuperation to start.. This paper is an abridged presentation of Catholic revival and its connection to education in the wider region from the Adriatic Sea up to River Mura and River Drava, or rather, Senj, Modruš and Zagreb Diocese, what was left of them, leftovers” from Croatian-Slavonnian Kingdom in early 17th century. The Trident Council decisions were starting to adhere in Catholic Church practices of these areas as late as the 17th century. A particular importance of this Catholic revival was attributed to education, which has been stressed in this paper. In the period from the late 16th up to mid-17th century, most parishes had parish elementary schools, providing candidates for future priests.. The main reason to start these schools, however, was to spread Catholic Catechism among the population. In 17th century the Catholic Church began intensive work to organize secondary schools, aimed to educate further new priesthood generation. In Croatian territories, Jesuits had an important role in development of education. Here they had come as preachers and foot soldiers of Catholic revival, and their friaries became focuses of intellectual, cultural and religious life. In early 17th century, the main Jesuit strongholds in Zagreb, Senj and Modruš diocese were the cities of Zagreb, Varaždin and Rijeka. The most valued university for priest education in early 17th century was Graz, however, other European universities were important too. We can conclude, that in early 17th century the processes of Catholic restoration and growing education were interlinked.
