Abstract
After briefly introducing the concept and meaning of the term 'popular missionary', one of the characteristics of Catholic apostacy, the author discusses the work of a group of Jesuit and Dominican missionaries in Dalmatia during the second half of the nineteenth century. First, he describes the development of the Jesuit mission in chronological order, through the organization of the mission, the places where it was active, the number of visitations to their settlements, and the difficulties they experienced. He specifically deals with the founding and development of the Dominican missions. Following that, he examines the work of missionaries in various areas at various times and the language in which the missionaries worked. He briefly describes the motivations and reasons behind the missionaries activities and the work in certain areas. He also makes mention of the material aspect of the missions operations and their relationship to the political life of Dalmatia at the time.
