BISHOPS AND PRIESTS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN CROATIA AND THEIR DE FACTO RECOGNITION OF SO-CALLED “CROATIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH” IN THE SECOND DECADE OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Abstract

The paper shows the ways used by bishops and priests of the Roman Catholic Church in Croatia towards their de facto recognition of so-called “Croatian Orthodox Church”, renewed creation of the nazi-like Independent State of Croatia. In the light of new facts the paper depicts creators and patrons of the “Croatian Orthodox Church” within the highest hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church in Croatia. Their intention is to convert more Serbs into Croats through illegitimate and dangerous “Croatian orthodoxy”.
