Sažetak
In recent decades, the deconstruction of gender stereotypes has been interpreted as the destruction of Christian anthropology in numerous church documents, statements by popes and bishops, and episcopal conferences. In contrast, there are documents and statements in which church teachings distances itself from biological determinism and allows the deconstruction of gender stereotypes but without questioning the male-female nature on which they are based. In the second part of the article, we will show that the (de)construction of Catholic anthropology is constantly occurring and does not lead to the destruction and negation of human nature but to an understanding of the processes that influenced the way male-female nature is defined. This opens up opportunities for further development of theological anthropology with an interdisciplinary scientific approach. The extent to which religious Catholics who attend religious ceremonies agree with stereotypical statements about women and men is analysed in this article. This is based on data collected in a survey conducted in Croatia in 2018 that was part of the project »Relational Gender Identities in Croatia: Modernization and Development Perspectives« (GENMOD).
