Strossmayer as the Spirit of Christian Freedom

Branko Despot ; Hrvatska akademija znanosti i umjetnosti, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

God is freedom, not God is free – this is what the spirit of Christian freedom reveals. This spirit lives on, speaks and acts through Josip Juraj Strossmayer. It lives on through him as priest, it speaks through his speeches, words and circular letters; it acts – primarily – through the unique project of the erection of the cathedral in Đakovo and the founding of the University and the Academy in Zagreb. The attempt to revive this project in the memory is what follows.
