Abstract
The paper analyzes language of texts in Kalendar Dobri Pastir and Kršni
zavičaj, publications of the Catholic Church, in the period from 1950 to
2005. The aim of the research is to define position of Croatian language
in BiH in one segment of public communication. Although constitutionally
and legally Croatian has been one of official languages in the
former state and in post-Dayton BiH, it is gradually displaced from the
public use. That is why Catholic Church publications, published in that
period, have a special role in preserving Croatian language at the level of
both private and public communication.
