Conference paper
The Slovenians and Christianity: The Theological aspects of postmodern society
Janez Juhant
Abstract
This debate treats the dilemmas of the Church and theologv in
our modern societv, with its special regard to the transition in
Slovenia and other postcommunist countries. In the past historv the
Slovenians were closelv related to the Catholic Church, which implied
even stronger antagonisms and antipathv against the Church from the
part of the communists and liberališts. To the Catholics this
postcommunist period was a challenge.
The postcommunist authoritv opposes the involvement of the
Church into our societv and tries to enforce their own ideas of
nihilism, which systematically rejects ali values. Therefore, the
Church must endeavour to justify their mission on spiritual
background with regard to an indMdual as well as in Christian
society as a whole.
