Sažetak
How to bridge a gap between the Catholic moral and ethos of believers, between what believers take as moral and immoral and how does catholic moral approach this difference? The ecclesiastical teaching, though it pretends to be universal, withstands with difficulty modern challenges of culture and way of life. Sociological researches that have been done in the last years in Croatia should serve as foundation of theological thought. They show numerous requests for new legal regulations of basic traditional values. Thus, the ethic teachings of the Church gradually lose even that minimal support they had in law and in state through history, and when the values that the Church’s Teachings defended were seen as compulsory values for the society. It enormously influences the concept of the modern Christian concerning sexuality and procreation, the importance of marriage, family, and abortion. Therefore, we may well ask the question on the necessity of a certain social consensus in respect to some essential values. It is even a greater problem in Croatia since there is discrepancy concerning some basic postulates between orientations resulting from public opinion and political decisions, and legislation. The new evangelization and moral request that it is anthropologically established in all values, that the law of gradualism is more respected and that the cultural dimension has a more important role in moral postulates.
