Abstract
War is a topic that very often engages attention of public, no matter to which historical age is related to. There are many text written about war, and those related to the social and historical aspects of war form a distinct group. On the other hand, sociologists try to reveal and explain connections between religion and social structure. Combined, these attitudes in the context of war create very distinct realm in which religion acquires very important role. This article treats this phenomenon. The start point was a question of the Franciscans’ activities in Požega, Brod and Cernik during the World War One. The stress was on their relation towards believers, soldiers on the front and their attitude towards war in general.
