Magnum Crimen is a book first published in Zagreb in 1948, describing clericalism in Croatia from 1900 until the end of the Second World War. It has been alleged that the "purpose of the book was to implicate the (Catholic) Church in the crimes of the Ustaše" .
The book, whose full title is Magnum crimen - pola vijeka klerikalizma u Hrvatskoj (The Great Crime - a half-century of clericalism in Croatia) was authored by a Catholic priest and professor at Belgrade University, Dr Viktor Novak. Dr Novak started work on the book long before World War II, but his central focus in it is the role and activities of the Church during the period of the Independent State of Croatia.
The book was first published in 1948, with a second edition published in 1986.
The book has been roundly criticised as an "infamous propaganda-documentary (...) in which there was no distinction between fact and fiction" .
