The paper focuses on three sets of catechism of Bellamarine tradition which werewritten in Slavonia in the 18th century. These are the following: Put nebeski (Venice1707) by Ivan Grličić, Dušu čuvajuće pohođenje (Budim, 1750) by Jerolim Lipovčićand Satir iliti divji čovik u nauku krstjanskom ubavistit (Pest, 1766) by Đuro Rapić.By comparatively reading the interpretation of the Fourth Commandment of God,the idea was to point out the similarities and differences in the shaping of the familymodel in the reading material of the post-Trent period. In addition to indicatingthat it be a model which implies hierarchical relationships in the home and thewider social community, we wanted to show that the genre of catechism, althoughnominated as a highly religious genre, is also subject to subjective and contextualinfluences, which makes it a valuable source of literary anthropological research.
