U radu su prikazani sudski postupci protiv katoličkih novina Mali koncil, Glas Koncila i Glasnik sv. Antuna Padovanskoga (poslije Veritas) te njihovih urednika i autora Franje Kuharića, Živka Kustića i Ivona Ćuka šezdesetih i sedamdesetih godina XX. stoljeća. Na temelju izvornoga arhivskoga gradiva i relevantne literature rekonstruirano je sedam različitih sudskih postupaka, od prekršajnih preko postupaka zabrane raspačavanja i zapljene pojedinih članaka (araka na kojima su tiskani) ili brojeva spomenutih listova, pa sve do dva kaznena postupka – protiv Ivona Ćuka i Živka Kustića – kojima su tadašnje vlasti nastojale ograničiti pisanje katoličkoga tiska, a posredno i djelovanje Katoličke crkve u društvu. Služeći se različitim znanstvenim metodama – od metode deskripcije i komparacije arhivskoga gradiva, preko analize tadašnjih zakonskih propisa i sudskih spisa te sadržaja službenih kontakata tadašnjih državnih i crkvenih predstavnika i sve do analize pojedinih objavljenih članaka u tadašnjem katoličkom tisku – autor ovim radom dodatno rasvjetljuje ne samo pravne aspekte tih postupaka nego i njihovu političku pozadinu i motivaciju.; This paper examines and presents court proceedings against the Catholic newspapers Mali koncil (Little Council), Glas koncila (Voice of the Council), and Glasnik sv. Antuna Padovanskog (St Anthony of Padua’s Herald), later the Veritas, and their editors and authors Franjo Kuharić, Živko Kustić, and Ivon Ćuk during the 1960s and 1970s. Based on original archival material and relevant literature, seven court proceedings against Ivon Ćuk and Živko Kustić have been reconstructed. These include misdemeanour proceedings, the confiscation of or bans on the distribution of individual articles or issues of the mentioned papers, and two criminal proceedings, through which the communist authorities tried to limit the writing of the Catholic press and, indirectly, the activity of the Catholic Church in contemporaneous society. Using various research methods – analysis of contemporaneous legislation and court records, the contents of official correspondence between the then state and Church representatives, and individual articles published in the Catholic press – the author sheds further light on not only the legal aspects of these proceedings, but also their political background and motivation, placing them within the context of the contemporaneous relations between Church and state. The activities of the then Commission for Religious Matters of the Executive Committee of the Parliament of the Socialist Republic of Croatia regarding monitoring the contents of the Catholic press, resolving certain legal and political dilemmas related to initiating court proceedings, and its cooperation with the contemporaneous so-called “prosecution organs”, especially the District Public Prosecutor’s Office in Zagreb, are studied separately.
