| description | The article deals with the attitude of the Catholic Church and the believers in Bosnia and Herzegovina towards the migrant crisis as a case study. In a theoretical sense, the article comes into the theoretical approaches of human geography, primarily the geography of religion and political geography, but also identity studies. In a methodological sense, using the systematic monitoring and analysis of information from the Internet media, but also the conducted survey questionnaire and targeted interview, the article proved the viability of the hypotheses. According to the first one, the Catholic Church in Bosnia and Herzegovina is more restrained than the official Holy See in taking active action in the case of a migrant crisis. Furthermore, according to the second hypothesis, the reason for this more restrained attitude of the Catholic Church in Bosnia and Herzegovina is that the attitude is necessarily linked to identity issues that are closely related to the religious identity of migrants and refugees. |
