Summary/Abstract: The author concludes that in the years between Mahnic’s appearance and World War II the Christian- Socialist camp hardly ever wrote about the French revolution, and when it did, it was in very critical terms. He points out that although the Slovenian Christian-Socialist Movement in its intense, fifty year long ideological and political development had shifted from the position of God given power to that of national sovereignty - a position common to all its factions, from the extreme left through to the authoritarian right, it remained critical and dismissive of the French Revolution as late as 1939.
