Sažetak
The penetration of liberalism into Croatian literature, culture and economy
resulted in the secularization of public life and opposition to the Catholic Church, which responded by founding the Croatian Catholic Movement (1903).
Thanks to the Croatian Catholic Academic Society Domagoj, an organized Catholic cultural life and publishing activities began to take shape. In this sense,
the Capuchins of Rijeka, led by Fr. Bernardino Nikola Škrivanić, should be
mentioned, as they greatly contributed to the preservation of Croatian Catholic
and national (Croatian) identity in the city. Namely, out of 205 printed works
in the Croatian language during the first twenty years of the 20th century, their
House of Good Printing published 125 of them. The most significant printing
venture was the Catholic political daily Riječke novine (1912–1914). In addition to politics, it also brought social and cultural content, and a literary supplement with fictional and discursive forms was published every day. The Hungarian government banned the publication of the newspaper at the end of August
1914 under the pretext that it threatened military operations and state interests.
This paper will deal with the literary segment of the newspaper, which brings
religious motifs and those from national history, but also from everyday life.
These texts, according to their content and message, can be classified as moral-didactic literature grounded in a Catholic worldview, therefore an attempt
will be made to analyze their content in detail, as well as the circumstances of
their creation.
