AHumiliatingDefeat I IngloriousendofanApostateChurch

Theso-called"NationalChurch"of Croatiahasformallycometoanend afterabriefandratherhecticexistence. DeniedrecognitionasareligiousbodyevenbytheirformerOrthodoxfriendsintheBelgradeGovernment,theleadersofthiserst-whilereligiousbodyhaveeffectedaunionwith the"OldCatholicChurch,"thebody whichoriginatedinGermanyabout fiftyyearsagoandwhosedoctrinesincludeadenialofthedogmaoftheImsdkculateConception.The"OldCa-7°lirChurch"isrecognisedinJugoSiaviaasareligiousbody.

HowitCameIntoFaistence.

TheephemeralCroatianchurchcame into,existenceduringthedisturbances followingtheoverthrowoftheHapsburgs.InCroatia,ashappenedalso inCzecho-Slovakia,afewpriestsrenouncedtheirfaithandestablisheda so-called"NationalChurch,"whichdeclareditsseparationfromtheHolySee andputintoeffectsomechangesin disciplinesuchastheabolitionofthe useofLatinintheliturgyandtheobligationofcelebacyforthepriesthood-Inthebeginningthemovementwassupportedbyaboutforty priestsandseveralthousandlaymen. liowever,itattainedconsiderable strengthinonlyonedistrictinNorthernCroatia,wherethedissenterswere ledbytheformerDeputyZagorac.

Foratimethe"NationalChurch" enjoyedthefriendshipandpatronage oftheleadersoftheDemocraticparty ofJugo-Slavia,composedlargelyof OrthodoxSerbians.Themotivefor thisfriendshipwas,ofcourse,thehope onthepartoftheDemocratleaders thattheymighttherebyweaken-CatholicinfluenceinCroatia.Therewas aseriouserrorinthislineofreasoning, however,becausethegreatmajority oftheCroatianpeopleindignantlyrefusedtohaveanythingtodowiththe "NationalChurch,"andevensomeof itserstwhileadherentsrefusedtostand forthisapproachtoSerbianOrthodoxy.Aidgiventothe"National Church"bytheMinisterofPublic Worship,Pribicevic,amemberofthe Democraticparty,onlymadethings worse,Thenational.antipathiesof theCroatsandSerbiansaresogreat thatnoCroatianwoulddaretosupportanymovementwhich,toama-

jorityofthepeople,seemedlikea unionwiththeSerbs.

Thisthenewsectsoonfounditself inaveryprecariousposition.Oneof theunderlyingreasonsforitsfailure wasthatitwasnotfoundeduponany sinceredifferencesofopinionaswdogmaordoctrine.Thecauseswereto befoundinbreachesofecclesiastical discipline.Leadersofthe"National Church"becameheretics,notbecause ofunorthodoxtheologicalviews,but becauseofimmorallives.Anexampleofthiswasgivenatthemeeting theyheldinLjubljanawhentheywere tryingtoextendtheirinfluencesamongtheCatholicSlovenes-Thechief topicofdiscussionatthemeetingwas onthesubjectof"TheEroticLifeof thePriest."

Atpresent,theOrthodoxSerbians, whowereformerlyfriendlytothe"NationalChurch,"shrugtheirshoulders whenaskedabouttheirformerproteges-Thecompletedisappearanceof evidencesofthisapostasyinCroatia isonlyaquestionofashorttime. Whilethe"NationalChurch"ofCaechoSlovakia,whichwasabletowinover nearly590,000persons,tearsitselfto piecesbyquarrelsamongitsleaders, the"NationalChurch"ofCroatiaperishesbecauseofitsinsignificance.
