Summary/Abstract: The author of the contribution sheds light on various aspects of politicisation of the Roman Catholic and Otrhodox Church, used in their political practice by the Slovenian People’s Party and the National Radical Party. She discovers that the Churches in the Yugoslav State between both World Wars entered conflicting relations regardless of the relations between the biggest Serbian and the Slovenian political parties, which were otherwise effective in drawing from the mobilisation potential of both Churches; however, they subordinated the inclination towards the Church interests to the interests of their own parties. That was especially obvious in the time of the so-called Concordat Crisis (1935-1937), when, among other things, it became apparent that the political antagonism between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches in the context of the Yugoslav political space translated into antagonism between the Croatian and Serbian parts of the state.
