Catholicization is a process of making or becoming Catholic. Sometimes this process is referred to as re-catholicization although in many cases catholicized people have never been Catholics before.[1]
Pre-1900 Catholicization of Orthodox Serbs
[edit]17th century
[edit]Slavonia
[edit]As soon as large group of Serb settlers came to Slavonia in 16th century they were subjected to continuous attempts to convert to Catholicism. The bishops of the Bishopric of Marča were forced to recognize jurisdiction of the Pope and convert to Eastern Catholicism.[2]
With accentuated hatred Petar Petretić and Benedikt Vinković (17th century Catholic bishops of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Zagreb) wrote numerous obviously untrue texts and even larger elaborates against Serbs and Orthodox Christianity, with detailed advises how to Catholicize Orthodox Serbs.[3] Petretić was afraid that many Catholics would convert to Orthodox Christianity because of the privileges Orthodox Serbs received.[4]
Metodije Terlecki, the main supervisor of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith for publishing of the Slavic language liturgical books,[5] directly participated in efforts to convert Orthodox Serbs in Croatia and Slavonia.[6] Terlecki interested Josyf Veliamyn Rutsky in conversion of Orthodox Serbs of Slavonia and Croatia into Greek-Catholicism.[7] Before he accepted appointment for this mission, Terlecki insisted that Rutsky should first give his approval.[8] That is why Pope wrote to Rutsky and asked his permission for Tarlecki's mission, emphasizing that souls of 60,000 people would be saved in this mission.[8] Terlecki spent period between 1628 and 1644 in Slavonia and Croatia, actively working on the religious conversion of its Orthodox population under jurisdiction of the Bishopric of Marča.[9] His activities were supported by Toma Hren, bishop of the Bishopric of Ljubljana.[10]
Based on the explicit instructions given directly by the Pope, Terlecki collaborated with Rafael Levaković.[11]
Montenegro
[edit]Jovan Radonić proved that Morača sabor of 1654 was invented by Pavlin Demski.[12]
Dalmatia and Herzegovina
[edit]After population of Konavle was converted to Catholicism, missionary activities were continued in Trebinje and Mostar. This activities were not very sucessful although missionary Giusepe Maria Bunaldi converted several Serb families in Trebinje bisopric.[13]
Ivan Paskvali, then Catholic misionary in Dalmatia, reported on 18 August 1641 that his everyday activities include visiting Ottoman Dalmatia and successful converting Orthodox Serbs to Catholicism.[13]
18th century
[edit]In 1703 John Peter Marchi established the Illyrian Academy with intentions that included Catholicization of the Orthodox population of the Sanjak of Bosnia.[14]
