Sažetak
In this period of church history we observe the moments of
historical development of the parish from the Edict of Milan to the
Council of Trent. At that time some very important changes that
significantly influenced the formation of parishes occurred: Christianity
becomes first an allowed, and then a state religion. But,
along with the Christianization of general population the need for
better and systematic organization arises too. Therefore Christianity
takes over the organizational form of the Roman system of
government and legislation, and then of the Germanic. During that
period parishes are gradually formed, and by the end of the period
they actually take the form and structure as they have today.
In this work we also use numerous relevant historical-pastoral
studies, especially from German-speaking area.
Presenting and analysing numerous historical moments and
everything that affected the emergence, development and form of
the parish, we point to the historicity of the parish and (parish) pastoral
activity, i.e. a certain historical-cultural determination from
which we can draw conclusions, indeed imperative that even today
the parish and the whole pastoral work have to adjust to the situation
in which Christians live, and not to remain attached to certain
forms which are purely a product of historical-cultural interactions
and which were justified in their time and place, but nowadays
they have to be replaced by the forms of parish-pastoral activities
adjusted to today’s people, time and place.
