18. The Dominican preacher Tihomir Zovko sermonized in a 1971 at Rijeka:
“The Croats have finally got a saint of their own blood, at the time when the
canonization of saints has become an outdated ecclesiastical practice; our turn
came when all large nations not only satisfied their thirst for national saints but
when they even got tired of it; thus, we Croats have kept the Catholic faith as
well as the Croatian national consciousness alive for thirteen centuries without
a single saint of Croatian background.” Quoted in Petesˇić, S ˇ to se dogadja u Katoličkoj
crkvi u Hrvatskoj? pp. 58–59 (my translation).
