Sažetak
The paper's topic is the attitude of socio-political organizations (more precisely, their bodies in charge of religion and religious communities) towards the Zadar Archdiocese during the first half of the 1980s. The observed period was marked by the death of Josip Broz Tito in May 1980 and the National Eucharistic Congress in Marija Bistrica (the closing ceremony of the Jubilee of Three Centuries of Christianity in Croats) in September 1984. Within the legally established framework of the relationship between the Catholic Church and the state and the specific position of the archdiocese itself (direct subordination to the Holy See), the observed period was characterized by individual local incidents showing the factual background of the legal relationship to the Church. The established party terminology ruthlessly attacked the Church as the most remarkable "internal enemy", and thus indirectly, they attacked the citizens-believers. Through the Socialist Alliance of the Working People, attempts were made to use it as an element of internal subversion. The further course of events only confirmed the strengthening of the Catholic Church, which ultimately led to a paradigm shift in attitudes towards religion in the twilight of self-governing socialism. The paper is based on the analysis of the original documents of the mentioned bodies of socio-political organizations.
