From the abstract: This paper analyses the continuity of efforts of Bono Zvonimir Šagi to promote dialogue with unbelievers. The period after the Second Vatican Council until the establishment of the Croatian state and the period after the establishment of the Croatian state are taken into account. The first part discusses pre-council, council and post-council attitudes of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church and scientific and theological reflections on dialogue with unbelievers. The second part discusses the situation in the Catholic Church in Croatia after the Council and after the independence of the Croatian state, regarding the dialogue with unbelievers. The third part analyses attitudes of Bono Zvonimir Šagi on the complex phenomenon of atheism, and the specifics of the influence of atheism on the predominantly Catholic population in Croatia in the period of Yugoslav socialism and the post-socialist period. The authors summarise in conclusion the contribution of Bono Zvonimir Šagi to dialogue in general, and dialogue with unbelievers in particular.
