U obrani obespravljenih: izbor iz dokumenata banjalučkog biskupa i Biskupskog ordinarijata Banjaluka tijekom ratnih godina od 1991. do 1995.
The book In Defense of the Disenfranchised Bishops by Franjo Komarica is a collection of around 300 documents, letters, appeals and statements published by the Bishop of Banja Luka and the Episcopal Ordinariate of Banja Luka during the war years from 1991
The book documents the tragic events in the Banja Luka diocese during the war, including the expulsion of Croatian Catholics, the destruction of churches and monasteries, and the murder of priests and nuns. According to data, 36,000 of the 39,000 Croats were expelled from Banja Luka and its surroundings.
Bishop Komarica did not condemn in his appeals, but called for forgiveness and mercy, emphasizing the importance of bearing witness to the truth as the basis for reconciliation. The book serves as a warning and a living reflection of the reality in which the voice of the bishop's conscience was raised in the face of violence against priests, nuns, and the faithful.
In Defense of the Disenfranchised is not only a historical document, but also a powerful call to preserve human dignity and rights, regardless of national or religious affiliation. The book is recommended to all who want to understand the depth of human suffering and the strength of faith in the most difficult times.
