Summary
Petar Požar: The Croatian Orthodox Church in the past and the future
The Croatian Orthodox Church is a topic that is being talked about again. In order to speak with confidence, it is necessary to know the basic facts from the history of Orthodoxy and the autocephalous Croatian Orthodox community that existed during the Second World War. These and similar facts are presented in the book Naklade Pavičić Croatian Orthodox Church in the Past and Future by Petar Požar. Although it was published in 1996, it is more relevant today than it was when it came out.
The church was founded in 1942 in the Independent State of Croatia and existed until 1945, when the new authorities brutally suppressed it. How was it created and how did it work? Who was its head, Metropolitan Grigory Maksimov Ivanovich Germogen? Are there conditions for establishing a new Croatian Orthodox Church?
The book is richly illustrated and contains a large number of authentic documents, with a list of all priests.
