Professor in Zagreb Makes Offensive Catholic Comment

Country: Croatia

Date of incident: January 29, 2013


During a visit by Mrs. Judith Reisman to the Faculty of Political Sciences at the University of Zagreb on January 29, 2013, the dean of this faculty, Prof. Dr. Nenad Zakošek, said, among other things: “If anyone indoctrinated them (students), then it is the Catholic Church.”

With this statement, the head of an institution of higher education surprised and offended the faithful, including the students of the Faculty of Political Sciences who belong to the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church in its activities, especially in its work with young people, in no way recognizes itself in the claims of Dean Dr. Zakošek.
