Summary/Abstract: During the period of the personal regime of the King Alexander I, Varnava, the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, clashed with anti-Yugoslav and clerical ideology of the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Chu- rch. Enforcing of the Concordat in mid 1930-ties has open the wide crisis in the Yugoslav political life, and moreover clash with the Serbian Orthodox Church and Yugoslav nationalist circles. Being someone who has deep knowledge of the proselyte policy of the Roman Catholic Church, the Serbian Patriarch was fiercely against it. He was afraid of the consequences of such act toward the Orthodox Church and the Serbian people in general. After the death of the Patriarch Varnava, the project of the Concordat was fully rejected by the Senate.
