Sažetak
Catholic social thought, and its influence on the development of the social debate in the second half of the 20th century in Croatia, remains an area to be scientifically researched. It remains an open question in the mentioned period as to the relevancy of solidarity and its forms. Searching for characteristics of solidarity in Catholic social thought of that period, the authors of this article have decided to offer a more panoramic presentation which will encourage further research.
This article is divided into two parts. The first part, titled »Catholic Groups and Social Courses«, revealing some details previously little known about, concerns two large catholic meetings and two social courses. In more recent literature there is almost no mention of social courses in Zagreb dating 1914, while neither has the Croatian-Slovenian Catholic Congress in Ljubljana in 1913 been scientifically investigate. On these and other catholic meetings of that period there is a noticeable apologetic approach towards social-political questions and social-charity activities. In this context liberal capitalism and the coming social democracy is criticised. Catholic social thought in the period of 1900 to 1945 criticises both systems. It is important to emphasis that the concept of solidarity is rarely mentioned, and more so, some characteristics of solidarity relating to the development and organisation of associations and co-operative movements in Croatia. The origin of solidarity is to be found in the Christian command of love, while revealing itself in a life of solidarity in associations and voluntarist works in Christian associations. The second part, titled »Characteristics of solidarity in Catholic Publications and the Press« deals with the characteristics of solidarity relating to a well-known author (Vilko Anderlić). As an example, it speaks of the absence of debate on solidarity in an important and influential library (MOSK) and offers a choice of three important magazines: Katolički list, Vrhbosne and Glasnik biskupija Bosanske i Srijemske. Numerous titles and bibliographical units can be of benefit for further scientific research. Some characteristics of solidarity are revealed in charity work and undertaking in social politics. A special reference is made to the theme of priestly solidarity in the texts.
