Miroslav Bulešić

Miroslav Bulešić (13 May 1920 – 24 August 1947) was a Croatian Catholic priest. He studied in Rome before being recalled to his native Istria where he was ordained in 1943 during World War II prior to two parish postings where he became a vocal critic of communism. He renewed his parishes through well-organized pastoral activities and was a promoter of frequent sacramental reception. But his criticism of communism saw him make enemies who soon killed him.
