The cunning of the sacred? Mardešić’s understanding of political Catholicism
Ivan Šarčević
Sažetak
Initially, the view of religiologist Željko Mardešić about political Catholicism is synthetically presented with a particular focus on Croatian political Catholicism. The author’s view of its roots, causes and basic characteristics is briefly outlined. In the second part of the paper – against the background of Mardešić’s view, and as a sort of a critique – three topics are offered for discussion: the cunning of the sacred in the instrumentalisation of politics, the need for and role of theology in the Church and society, and relation of a Christian to politics and his political involvement.
