The council christianity in the chains of ideology Mardešić's view of ideological in Christianity, particularly in Croatian circumstances
Jure Perišić
Abstract
This paper explores the thought of Željko Mardešić (alias Jakov Jukić) on ideology as well as its influence on Christianity. Starting from some basic intents and the Second Vatican Council teaching, the author first gives Mardešić's phenomenological presentation of the essence of ideology and opposes it to the very core of Council Christianity, interpreted in Mardešić’s texts and in the texts of Croatian theologians relevant to the Council topics. Besides, exploring the texts of this sociologist of religion, the author realizes that this phenomenon is often dressed in religious clothing, and that Christianity has often given way to its influences. This is particularly true for the political area and for the Croatian context too. The third part is dealing with the latter. In the end, the author concludes that Church in Croatia has to fully opt for the Council, which would specifically mean a substantial change in living the mentality in everyday life.
