Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper Language: Original in Slovenian (Abstract in Slovenian and English, Summary in English) Key words: the Church and War, Clergy in Slovenian Littoral, Isonzo front, Archdiocese Gorizia, archbishop Frančišek B. Sedej Abstract: This paper concerns itself with the activities of the Catholic Church in Gorizia during the war year of 1917. The Gorizia clergy, mostly very loyal to the state and the Habsburg ruling family, shared the sad fate of the Gorizia archdiocese during the war, as it suffered from the bloody fighting on the Isonzo front. The priests did not directly participate in the military engagements, but they did help in many ways the tested population either in exile or in the hinterland of the front. After the breakthrough at Kobarid in the fall of 1917 the majority of the Gorizia clergy was sincerely delighted at the Austro-Hungarian victory and the crushing Italian defeat.
