The Croatian Catholic Movement at the Beginning of the 20th Century

Abstract

The article outlines the origins and development of the organisation of the Croatian Catholic Movement and of Catholic Action, one of the most significant events in the particular Church in Croatia at the beginning of the 20th century. The article consists of three parts each of which corresponds to the most important occurrences within that particular period. These are the creation of a new South–Slavic state, the period of pseudo–parliamentarism in the 1920’s and the final decade of the life of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes/the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
