Začetek slovenskega katoliškega gibanja je bil konec 19. stoletja. Najprej je bila leta 1892 v Ljubljani ustanovljena Katoliška narodna stranka, ki se je leta 1905 preimenovala v Slovensko ljudsko stranko. Velik pečat sta v stranki pustila Ivan Šusteršič in Janez Evangelist Krek. Stranka se je v začetku 20. stoletja preusmerila iz krščansko konservativne v krščansko socialno stranko. Strankin program je temeljil na načelih pomoči preprostim ljudem, predvsem kmetom in delavcem. V tej vlogi se je znašel tudi duhovnik Janez Kalan, ki je imel velik socialni čut za preprostega človeka. S svojimi idejami in nasveti je skušal pomagati vsem, ki so bili potrebni socialne ali duhovne pomoči. V letu 1909 so se katoliške organizacije iz takratnih slovenskih pokrajin pridružile krajnski SLS. Stranka se je preimenovala v Vseslovensko ljudsko stranko in tako postala najmočnejša slovenska politična stranka. Stranka je delovala tudi med prvo svetovno vojno. Nekaj časa je bil na čelu stranke tudi Anton Korošec. Ves čas političnega delovanja je sledila katoliškim načelom in spodbujala katoliško miselnost, nasprotovala pa je političnim načelom liberalizma in socializma. Po uvedbi diktature kralja Aleksandra leta 1929 je bilo delovanje stranke prepovedano. The beginnings of the first Slovenian Catholic movement date back to the 19th century. First, the Catholic People's Party was established in 1892 in Ljubljana, and it was later renamed to the Slovenian People's Party in 1905. Ivan Šušteršič and Janez Evangelist Krek were significant personalities who had a grat impact on the Party. In the early 20th century the party transformed from Christian conservatives into the Christian Social Party. The party's program was based on simple principles like to help people, especially farmers and workers. In this role was also Janez Kalan, a priest, who had a great social sense for a simple man. With his ideas and advice he tried to help all those who needed social and spiritual support. In 1909 the Catholic organizations from the then Slovenian regions joined Krajnska SLS. The party also changed its name to Pan-Slovenian People's Party and became the strongest Slovenian political party. The party was also active during the World War I. For some time Anton Korošec was the leader of the party. All the time the party followed the Catholic principles and promoted Catholic mindset, however, it objected to the political principles of liberalism and socialism. It ceased to operate during the dictatorship of King Alexander in 1929. |
