Croatian Glagolitic Movement as Inculturation Process

Autor najprije iznosi svoje mišljenje o nastanku glagoljice. Pritom zastupa tezu o njezinu nastanku na hrvatskom prostoru. Kada je glagoljaško područje došlo pod rimsku jurisdikciju, došla je na udar i glagoljica. Ona se uspješno oduprla upravo zato što je ušla duboko u narod. S vremenom se ona Katoličkoj Crkvi pokazala kao pogodno sredstvo za uključenje pravoslavnih Slavena u Katoličku Crkvu. Tada je dobivala i veliku podršku iz Rima.In the opinion of the author, the Glagolitic script was created and spread by Byzantine missionaries at the beginning of the Christianization: this was before the mission of Cyril and Methodius in Moravia, when the Cyrillic script was formed. Byzantium had more feeling for the linguistic inculturation. When the Glagolitic region came under the roman jurisdiction, the Glagolitic script was endangered, but survived, because it was deeply rooted in the people. In time, it was rediscovered by the Catholic Church as an efficient resource in the process of including the orthodox Slavs in the Catholic Church. It gained a large support in Rome
