Sažetak
Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer left a significant imprint on ecclesiastical, political and cultural life in the Croatian Area and beyond. Among other things, he diligently worked on church unity and that line of activity had a significant impact on both politics and culture. The work of the Slavic teachers Saints Cyril and Methodius was a strong foundation for his work on Slavic unity and Ecumenism, so he intensively worked on building up of their cult as well as on promotion of their ideas from the 9th century. Croatian Glagolitic tradition and Slavic liturgy in Croatian Catholics firmly contributed to his belief that Croatia had been called upon to work on church unity. It was his opinion that the Slavs in no way contributed to the schism between the two Churches, but suffered from it most vigorously. The paper analyzes Bishop’s endeavours to incorporate the “Cyrillian-Methodian” idea into his time as well as into his political and cultural efforts.
