Abstract
The life and work of Marko Antun de Dominis have mostly been approached by researchers and other interested individuals in two ways. The first approach starts from the assumption that he was a Catholic heretic who harmed the Church and deserved to end his life in church prison in Rome. The other approach that has recently developed both abroad and in Croatia is much more thorough in regard to his life and work therefore uncovering some components that make different conclusions possible. The same stands for the original theological thought of this famous individual from the island of Rab. In this article, the author – who is an ecclesiastical person himself, being a Dominican friar, but also a scholar and university professor – expresses his opinions on that specific point. He argues that the aim of Dominis’ theology was opening new paths to the Church.
