Pluralism in Croatia - A Challenge for Christians

Ivan Koprek ; Institute of Philosophy and Theology of Society of Jesus, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Pluralism involves all parts of society. Croatia - in abandoning the totalitarian system is also a part of it. The Church in Croatia is confronted with the need to adapt to new conditions and is endeavouring to define its place and role under these new circumstances. Condemning unsound tendencies, the author is pleading in favour of healthy pluralism which, in his opinion, has to be based on the Trinity in one Godhead. It is only within the context of this consciousnes that a place for effective love (which is immanent to Christianity) can be secured, which enables the other to remain the other. This is the ontological base of social life called pluralistic, democratic, tolerant, ecumenic.
