Sažetak
Political changes in Croatia in the late 1918 led to a movement within Croatia’s lower Catholic clergy from Zagreb Archdiocese, eventually in 1919, expanding to a Reform movement. The movement underwent through several changes-phases, one of which was the so-called »Koprivnica phase«. In 1920, Koprivnica became the center of the Reform movement, thanks to its parish priest Stjepan Zagorac and chaplain Stjepan Vidušić. In addition, at this stage there was an increased tension between the Reformists and the Catholic Episcopate, and to the active participation of the laymen in the aforementioned movement, which until then had been exclusively clerical feudal movement. This is where the first Reformist parish was established, which was to serve as a model for establishing similar ones all over the country. After a definitive schism with the Catholic Church and the establishment of Croatian Old Catholic church, Koprivnica got an Old Catholic church parish that functioned until 1941. The parish was disbanded during the Second World War because of a reluctance of the Ustasha regime to recognize and tolerate Old Catholic church. At the end of WW2 in Koprivnica, it completely vanished.
