Conflict between the Communist Government of Yugoslavia and the Franciscan Province of Herzegovina: Activity of the Croatian Franciscan Commissariat of the Holy Family in the USA (1954- 1980)

Th e author of the paper analyses the policy of the communist regime in Yugoslavia towards priestly emigration on the example of the Croatian Franciscan Commissariat in Chicago. Th e Yugoslav authorities conditioned the more liberty for the Church and Franciscan order with the changes in the Commissariat, which would prevent the anti-Yugoslav activities of the Franciscans there. Given that the Franciscans from Herzegovinian received considerable fi nancial support from the Commissariat, they sought to fi nd a way to satisfy the state authorities without disturbing cooperation with the Commissariat.
