Summary
Priest Franjo Jurak: The role of the parish priest in the city
Priest Franjo Jurak is one of those Croatian priests, intellectuals, who were connected by unbreakable roots with a healthy tradition, and in their way of life and work, tirelessly, and often restlessly, searched for new ways of religious, church and national activity. With his brave and sometimes unexpectedly 'unreasonable' expressions of love and mercy, Franjo Jurak fascinated, but also disturbed, somewhat similar to what Pope Francis does today. He was a pastor who would fit perfectly into the pontificate of Pope Francis and into the Jubilee of Mercy. Readers who knew him will be able to compare their memories and memories with the written texts in this book, and for readers who did not know him, it is an opportunity to meet an extremely active city pastor whose door to the parish office and apartment was always open. All needy people and above all the poor could always count on pastor Franjo on Selska cesta in Zagreb. This book, which is co-published by the Center for the Promotion of Social Doctrine of the Church, the Catholic Faculty of Theology and the Christian Present, presents and brings it closer to us.
