Abstract
Research into the First World War has ignored the Austro-Hungarian empire, while focussing essentially on the conflict on the western front. However, the religious history of Austria is of major interest, since the Empire was pluri-confessional, but also because it was considered to be the last rampart of European Catholicism. Recent historiography has presented a general panorama of the religious history of the Great War (Religionen im Krieg 1914-1918), while at the same time investigating the pastoral practice and the theology of the bishops (Achtleitner), the spiritual assistance to soldiers (Gröger, Ham, Sammer, Künhert, Houlihan), and the relations between the Austrian and German Catholic churches (Houlihan). In doing so, it has honed its methodological sharpness in order better to connect religious, social and political history.
