Description
Based on archival documents, the most important being a preserved file in the fond of the Gorizia police office, the author, using the example of the parish priest Ivan Kretič in Cerkno, vividly presents a story illustrating the confrontations such as were typical in the 1930s between the Italian Fascist authorities and the Slovene clergy in the Primorska region. Kretič, by using the Slovene language and teaching his congregation national songs, which was seen by the Italian authorities as a deliberate attempt to hinder the Italianization of the region, elicited a strong reaction from the entire Fascist ruling and repressive apparatus from Cerkno to Gorizia. Kretič managed to avoid punishment only by a hair's breadth. Yet because he continued with such and similar activities after he was transferred to the parish of Kojsko, he was sentenced to two years of confinement in southern Italy in 1939.

      • Na podlagi arhivskega gradiva, med katerim gre omeniti predvsem ohranjen dosje v fondu goriške kvesture, avtor na kratko prikazuje značilno epizodo iz soočenja med italijansko fašistično oblastjo ter slovensko primorsko duhovščino v tridesetih letih in to na primeru kaplana Ivana Kretiča v Cerknem. Zaradi uporabe slovenskega jezika in poučevanja narodnih pesmi ter sploh zaradi oviranja italijanizacije se je sprožil celotni fašistični oblastni in represivni aparat od Cerknega do Gorice, pri čemer se je kaplan komaj izognil kazni. Ker je s svojim ravnanjem nadaljeval tudi po premestitvi v župnijo Kojsko, je bil 1939 obsojen na dve leti konfinacije v južni Italiji.
