One stop on the 2012 CHURCH IN NEED pilgrimage to Slovenia and Croatia, which we organized with the Institute for Church History of Bohemia-Moravia-Silesia, was Zagreb. The sarcophagus containing the remains of Archbishop Aloisius Stepinac is buried in the cathedral of the Croatian capital. He was convicted as a war criminal and collaborator in a scandalous show trial in Zagreb in 1946. On February 10, 1960, he died with the words of his motto on his lips: “In Te, Domine, speravi. – In you, O Lord, I have placed my hope.”

Since 1997, the sarcophagus has stood behind the main altar of the cathedral in Zagreb. He was buried here two days after his death on February 10, 1960, in the presence of 18 bishops, 500 priests, and more than 100,000 believers.

If you visit the cathedral in Zagreb today, you will find his grave surrounded by a sea of wreaths and flowers. The blessed bishop's church and his grave have become a new place of pilgrimage for Croatians. Few people in contemporary church history have been in the crossfire of different opinions as he was, even in the West.

The truth that Cardinal Stepinac was a martyr and a fighter for law and justice was suppressed in communist Yugoslavia until 1990, at least by the state. The faithful, on the other hand, always revered him as a saint, and his successors on the archbishop's throne, even in communist times, repeatedly advocated that the cardinal receive the justice he deserved.

It was only when Croatia became a free country after the declaration of independence in 1991 that the Croatians learned the whole truth about this martyr.🚵‍♂️🐯
