Abstract

Scholarly knowledge about the Croatian Catholic Seniority usually was based on personal legacies of the former members and secondary literature. Such a situation resulted in the fact that up to today there is no published scholarly research that systematically elaborates the history of this important organization, which was founded within the Croatian Catholic Movement. Therefore, the authors of this article have presented all important dates and fundamental features of the Seniority in the period between 1913 and 1941. Moreover, they systematically describe all the major activities of this elite organization of the Catholic clergy, religious orders and laity. All the documents quoted in the article have to be analyzed in the context of the history of the Seniority, which offers a completely new field for future research.
