KATOLIČKA CRKVA U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI ZA VRIJEME AUSTRIJSKE UPRAVE: DJELATNOST JOSIPA STADLERA

Bosna i Hercegovina je već stoljećima dodirna točka katoličanstva, pravoslavlja i islama. Nakon okupacije Austro-Ugarske Monarhije 1878. godine, Katolička crkva nastoji uspostaviti redovnu crkvenu hijerarhiju, a provođenje tog plana prepušta dr. Josipu Stadleru, profesoru i novoimenovanom nadbiskupu. Josip Stadler po dolasku u Bosnu i Hercegovinu uočava mnoge nedostatke i nepravilnosti u dotadašnjoj crkvenoj organizaciji te nastoji napraviti sveobuhvatnu reformu. U svojoj djelatnosti nailazi na nerazumijevanje i otpor franjevačkog reda, zatvorenost i napade pravoslavnog stanovništva te ravnodušnost muslimanskog naroda.Bosnia and Herzegovina has been a contact point between Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Islam for centuries. After the occupation of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in 1878, the Catholic Church sought to establish a regular church hierarchy, leaving the implementation of this plan to Dr. Josip Stadler, a professor and new archbishop. Upon his arrival in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Josip Stadler noticed many shortcomings and irregularities in the previous church organization and tried to make a comprehensive reform. In his activity he encounters misunderstanding and resistance of the Franciscan order, closedness and attacks of the Orthodox population and indifference of the Muslim people
