Historik Miloslav Szabó: Čím zlákal (a láká?) fašismus katolické kněží na Slovensku
Za druhé světové války byl nastolen na Slovensku satelitní režim nacistického Německa, v jehož čele usedl prezident-kněz Jozef Tiso. Byl sice nejvýraznějším, ale nikoli jediným katolickým knězem, který se pustil v této temné době do politického angažmá. Kniha historika Miloslava Szabó nazvaná Klérofašisti zkoumá osudy a myšlení slovenských (nejen) katolických kněží, kteří podlehli vábení fašistické ideologie.
