CATHOLIC PRESS ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT STATE OF CROATIA ON APRIL THE 10TH 1941

Summary/Abstract: Although to this date, several very valuable monographs and some dozens of articles were written on the issues of relations between Catholic Church and the ISC, the Catholic press as a valuable source of information has not yet been seriously taken into account. This paper will examine the way in which that very rich corpus of periodicals had noted the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia. By looking into the content of the Catholic press about the fact of proclaiming the ISC on behalf of Poglavnik Ante Pavelić and the Ustasha movement at the very beginning of that state, an opportunity rises to consider the views of a large number of Catholic priests and editorials of Catholic newspapers on this point. Thus it is possible to gain an insight into the panorama of views and opinions which would demonstrate a complex relationship between the Catholic Church and the ISC from the very beginning. These positions will be ranging from enthusiasm, through a formal notification to complete suppression. In its press, the Catholic Church will not be unanimous in the attitude towards the ISC, not even in the presentation of its establishment.
