Katolícky slavizmus: jeho definícia, vznik a vývoj
Catholic Slavism: its definition, origin and development

Summary/Abstract: The author of this study offers a description and definition of the concept of Catholic Slavism. It then distinguishes it from panslavism and austroslavism and determines common and different signs with panslavism and austroslavism. It is of the opinion that Catholic Slavism originated from Austoslavism in the priestly environment of the Catholic Slavs. He considers the father of Catholic Slavism in Banská Bystrica Štefan Moyses, who started cooperation between the Croatian and Slovak national movement. He considers unionism, Slavic reciprocity and Cyril-Method cult to be the basis of the idea of Catholic Slavism. The author also describes the development of Cyril-Methodian cult respect in the context of the millenary celebrations of the arrival of St. Cyril and Methodius in Great Moravia, in which the request of the Slavic bishops excels for the common liturgical celebration of the feast of St. Cyril and Method, addressed in 1863 to Pope Pius IX. In the end, he shows the support of the celebrations by the well-known composer Franz List, who supported the idea of Catholic Slavism by his own composition. The study ends with the transformation of Catholic Slavism from the diocesan phase on the universal Catholic and Pontificial, by the entry of the Pope Leo XIII to the support of this Politic, by the intervention of the Croatian bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer.
