Sažetak
At the time of the Council of Trent, and for a century and a half after it, the Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia was divided between the Habsburg Monarchy (as part of its multinational mosaic), the Republic of Venice and the Ottoman Empire. Nowadays Bosnia and Herzegovina was a province of the Empire, the Sanjak of Bosnia (later Elayet). In both the Kingdom and the Sanjak lived Catholic Croats. Implementation of conciliar decrees and post-conciliar initiatives was thus challenged by this particular geo-political frame and sometimes shaped by the influences of different neighbouring religious praxis, cultural experiences and political identities. A decision of the Croatian Aristocratic Parliament that the only religion permitted in the Kingdom was Roman Catholicism was approved by Rudolf II Habsburg on the 16th January 1608. The Kingdom of Croatia set off a path to post-conciliar reforms, reinforcing with them its national identity as “scudum solidissimus et antemurale christianitatis“. These processes were supported by resolved attachment to Rome of the high clergy and the majority of Croatian aristocracy, but above all by diligent work of the religious orders (Jesuits, Paulines, Franciscans). On the other side of the border, finding any trace of the Roman Catholic “renovatio” in the Sanjak of Bosnia can be regarded as a miracle. The only organized ecclesiastical presence “in partibus infidelium” was the Franciscan Province of the Bosnia Argentina. The Franciscans remained there protected by the Ferman (imperial decree) of the Sultan Mahemed II the Conqueror (1463), renewed by following sultans. Franciscan chronicles, relations to the Sacra Congregatio de Propaganda Fide and missionaries’ testimonies depicted their extremely harsh conditions. Yet, the implementation of the decree “On the invocation, veneration, and relics, or saints, and other sacred images” of the final, twenty-fifth conciliar session was surprisingly successful.
