Abstract

The paper sheds light on the relationship between Bishop Josip J. Strossmayer and the Greek Catholic Bishop Ilija Hranilović. Hranilović’s support for the political and religious mission and thought of Bishop Strossmayer – who was concerned about the unity of the Catholic Church and the strengthening of the position of the Croatian people, as well as other peoples, in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy which was at the time governed by the Vienna and Budapest elites – was timid at first, but later grew so strong that he soon became one of “Strossmayer’s men”. In addition, the transcripts of six letters that Strossmayer sent to Bishop Hranilović, which are part of the Strossmayer legacy stored in the Archive of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and one that he sent to Bishop Hranilović’s relative General Petar Hranilović, in which he expressed his condolences on the premature death of the Bishop, are given in the paper.
