Abstract
Croatian countries, defended the Catholic Church and national restoration in Croatia. During this period there is no sign at all that would question, at least directly, catholic teaching about marriage and family. The second period (1904 – 1907) is noted for acceptance of liberal anti-Catholic views. Though there is no support to the European liberal legislation on marriage, which denies divine character of marriage and family, “Novi list” has introduced confusion among readers permanently attacking more fictive than real clericalism of Church in Croatia. Namely, an average reader could hardly differentiate radical-intransigent Catholicism identified with clericalism in the “Novi list”, from liberal and more tolerant type of Catholicism. Thus, it contributed in melting of the catholic idea of family. The third phase (1907 – 1914) is characterized by progressive criticism not only of “clericalism” but also of Catholic Church as such. The open intercession to create a national Church, on the model of Orthodox Church in the neighborhood, of course had influence on marginalizing of the ecclesiastical teaching on marriage and family.
