Sudski postupak protiv dr. Ivana Protulipca predsjednika Križarske organizacije pred Okružnim sudom u Zagrebu 15. lipnja 1938. godine

Abstract

continue living through the generations of Catholic youth and the Crusaders for which he lived. With his inspirational speech to numerous Catholic youth at the Eucharistic Congress on August 22, 1937, in Bosanski he again became the subject of an investigation by the regime authorities. He was arrested and charged with the criminal offence referred according to Article 3 of the Law on the Protection of the State of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. For that offence, the State Prosecutor requested a five-year sentence. However, this time, like all the previous Dr Protulipac was persistent in proving the truth for which he was fighting. Despite the regime’s witnesses testifying against him, the Court found no element for prosecution and conviction and he was again acquitted of all charges. In all his public appearances, Dr Protulipac was a visionary, a man of faith and a man for the faith and his fellowmen. Even today, his words spoken on the Pope’s Day in 1936 are still relevant. ‘’ Let us be convinced that the happy future, ours and that of the Croatian people comes first by the grace of the almighty good God. In vain are our efforts and sacrifices if we do not build with God.”
