Abstract
The paper presents the development of the Croatian Catholic Movement until September 1909, with special emphasis on the Catholic meetings held in Split in August in year 1908 and 1909. Three different meetings were held in Split in August in year 1908. The first meeting was the Catholic Student Meeting which was also held in the summer of 1908, besides Split, in Zagreb, Trsat, Đakovo and Travnik. The second meeting refers to the Catechetical Meeting at which the state of education in Dalmatia was discussed and how to solve the catechists and pastors’ daily problems in the field of education. The third meeting was the Catechetical Course organized by pedagogues and catechists from northern Croatia, where the course participants were introduced to new teaching methods. In addition to the theoretical part, the way of functioning of new teaching methods in practice was also presented. These meetings were an introduction to the General Student Catholic Meeting, which took place in the summer of 1909 in Split and brought together 751 participants from all over Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper pays special attention to the importance of the General Student Catholic Meeting and evaluates it in the broader context of the Croatian Catholic Movement. The importance of this meeting lies in the fact that it marked the beginning of a new phase of the Catholic Movement in Croatia, i.e. the Movement is becoming “massified”. The main source for the production of this paper is the Catholic newspapers Dan [Day], which was published in Split from 1903-1918.
