Sažetak
This paper analyses the relationship between the Catholic Church and opposition Croatian Peasant Party as well as the ruling state regime in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the example of Split and Makarska Diocese in the period between 1935 and 1939. In that period the Croatian Peasant Party actualized the resolution of political position of the Croats in monarchist Yugoslavia by creating all national Croatian Peasant Movement which they used for imposing a political issue, known as Croatian Issue, as the most important one. In those significant political and social affairs, priests and bishops did not stay away. Church did not act as a political organization, but some priests were politically engaged – mostly on the side of the Croatian Peasant Party, but also on the side of Government. In this context, the paper, primarily based on archive and news sources, describes the activity of clergy of the Catholic Church in Split and Makarska Diocese in a very intensive and turbulent period.
