sessions in 1848. During these sessions he cordially supported idea of territorial integrity of the Tripartite Kingdom together with overcome of religious differences, which were preconditions

During the revolutionary years of 1848-1849 he led a young reformist group of the Croatian clergy that supported reforms in the spirit of the liberal Catholicism and opposed official position of the Catholic Church regarding dogma “Ex patre filioque”. That was the main reason for his withdrawal from all the ecclesiastical and secular services in 1853, which was followed with his retirement.
