SLAVONSKO-PODUNAVSKE PASTORALNE TEME. OSVRT NA JEDNU CRKVENO-POVIJESNU TETRALOGIJU
SLAVONIAN-DANUBE REGION PASTORAL THEMES. A REVIEW ON A CHURCH-HISTORIAN TETRALOGY

Summary/Abstract: In the period of 15 years (1996-2011) Franjo Emanuel Hoško published his church and historical tetralogy on the events of life of the Catholic Church in Slavonia and the Danube area from the 18th century to the end of the 19th century. The books were titled after four Franciscans members of the Slavonian Danube Province of St Ivan Kapistranski, who lived and worked during the time of Josephinism and Liberalism, so author concentrates on the mentioned ideological and socio-political events of the time. The first book is about Josip Pavišević (1734-1803), who is a direct witness of radical Josephinism and its pitiless impinging on Franciscan life and their pastoral activities. The second book discovers the figure of Grga Čevapović (1786-1830), who denies organization of the late Josephinism and the early Liberalism pointing out to their negative infl uences on the life of the Church and Franciscans, trying to restore possible Franciscan life with reasonable methods. The thirds book deals with the younger Čevapović's contemporary Marijan Jaić (1795-1858) presenting him as a church restorer among Croatian regenerators. Ban Josip Jelačić in 1750 admitted to Jajić that he with his literary work and musical creativities tries, like himself, »national regeneration and spiritual renovation «. The fourth book presents historian Euzebije Fermendžin (1845-1897), who deserved membership of the former JAZU for his gathering and publishing historical sources.
