Abstract
The text presents the genesis of lhe concept of Christian
democracy in Croatia which developed under the influence of the
corresponding ideas from Germany, Austria, Czech republic, Slovakia
and particularly Slovenia. A major role in that was played by a
bishop from Krk, Antun Mahnić, of Slovenian descent. The author
divides the development of Christian democracy in Croatia into the
pre-party period (up to World War 1) and the party organization
following the creation of a Yugoslav state in the form of the
Croatian Populist Party. This party's programme is compared to the
programme of Radić's Croatian Peasants' Party.
