Abstract

The paper deals with the analysis of the dynamics in social changes of values, both personal and social, in regard to dimensions of Christian values. Value orientation and personal and social dimensions of Christian values is historically connected through a long period with authoritarianism on the political plane. That is why only the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) will conclude that the value orientation and personal and social dimensions cannot be accepted on the plane of political authoritarianism, on the cultural plan of traditionalism, opening the possibility on the political plane for Christian personalism. It is in this sense that the value orientation and personal and social dimensions of Christian values assumes both a historical and a social possibility for political and cultural transformation of value orientations and personal and social dimensions of Christian values. By doing so it contributes to the possibility of removing the ideological traditionalism on the cultural and political plan in the structure of personal and social dimensions of Christian values and disregarding the authoritarianism as a part of the culture and politics of traditionalism.
