ZAGREB, Jan 22 (Hina) - The chancellor of Zagreb's Catholic Theological Faculty (KBF), Stjepan Baloban, on Tuesday voiced concern about the current state of affairs between the Church and the state. The Catholic Church has been faced
with a "liberal neomarxist ghettoisation," Baloban told the 42nd Theological-Pastoral Week, which began in Zagreb on Monday. Backing his statement, he mentioned "the recent meddling in the marking of Epiphany, the contesting of KBF's Tomislav Ivancic as new (Zagreb University) chancellor, the contesting of the education agreement between... Croatia and the Holy See." Higher education institutions, the Zagreb University Senate in particular, are used to contest theology as a science, said Baloban.

ZAGREB, Jan 22 (Hina) - The chancellor of Zagreb's Catholic
Theological Faculty (KBF), Stjepan Baloban, on Tuesday voiced
concern about the current state of affairs between the Church and
the state.
The Catholic Church has been faced with a "liberal neomarxist
ghettoisation," Baloban told the 42nd Theological-Pastoral Week,
which began in Zagreb on Monday.
Backing his statement, he mentioned "the recent meddling in the
marking of Epiphany, the contesting of KBF's Tomislav Ivancic as
new (Zagreb University) chancellor, the contesting of the
education agreement between... Croatia and the Holy See." Higher
education institutions, the Zagreb University Senate in
particular, are used to contest theology as a science, said
Baloban.
The Theological-Pastoral Week was applauded by the apostolic
nuncio to Croatia, Giulio Einaudi, and Zagreb University
chancellor Branko Jeren.
The head of the Croatian Catholic Church, Archbishop Josip Bozanic,
sent a telegram to Pope Paul II on behalf of the Catholic faithful in
Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
