Religious themes in the texts of Drago Ćepulić.pdf
Abstract
Ovaj je rad podijeljen na tri dijela. U prvom dijelu autor donosi kratki životopis Drage Ćepulića te nabraja njegova najvažnija dje- la. Drugi dio rada govori o glavnim karakteristikama Ćepulićeva stvaralaštva u cjelini kako bi se okvirno stekao uvid u njegovo stvaralaštvo. Treći dio, a ujedno i glavni dio rada, govori o vjer- skim temama u Ćepulićevim tekstovima. Autor je prikazao nekoliko najvažnijih vjerskih tema kojima se Ćepulić za života bavio: o svetcima kao uzorima, na poseban način o Ivanu Merzu, o molitvi, o Crkvi, o vjeri, o križu i o protestantima. Iz prikazanih vjerskih tema očito je kako je Ćepulić čvrsto stajao na gledištu katoličkog učenja ujedno odbacujući protestantizam, tražio je da se vjerski odgaja buduće naraštaje te je vjeru smatrao iznimno važnom za očuvanje europske kulture u cjelini. Tekstovi su objavljivani u dne- vnim i tjednim novinama te je na taj način Ćepulić mogao doći do velikog broja čitatelja. U vjerskim tekstovima ne nalazimo pretjerivanja i vjerskog sentimentalizma, nego su tekstovi odmjereni i iznimno poticajni te poučni za čitatelje.

This work is divided into three parts. In the first part the author presents a short biography of Drago Ćepulić and lists his most important works. The second part discusses the major characteristics of Ćepulić’s creativity as a whole in order to give an approximate insight into his work. The third part, and also the main part of the work, is talking about religious themes in the author’s texts. The author presents a number of important religious issues to be dealt with for the author’s life: the saints as role models, in a special way Ivan Merz, about prayer, about the Church, about faith, about the cross and the Protestants. From the religious theme it is obvious that Ćepulić is firmly standing on the position of Catholic teaching, at the same time rejecting Protestantism and asking for the future generations to be raised in Catholic religion. He considered the Catholic faith extremely important for the preservation of European culture as a whole.
His texts were published in the daily and weekly newspapers and thus Ćepulić could reach a large number of readers. In his religious texts one cannot find exaggeration, religious sentimentalism or heresy, but they are measured and extremely stimulating and instructive for the readers.
Key words: Drago Ćepulić, religious themes, the Church, the Eucharist, the Cross.
