Sažetak

This contribution deals with the divorce theme, from the aspect
of analysis of thoughts and attitudes about this topic of those
people in Croatia who are currently married or have the experience
of married and family life. The main analysis refers to the quality
of the influence of awareness of Christian identity of these people
on their attitudes and thoughts about the issue of divorce. This
contribution also gives the first results of the scientific research
project “Christian Identity and Quality of Married and Family Life”,
carried out by a team of co authors of the Catholic Theological
Faculty of Đakovo, the University Josip Juraj Strossmayer in Osijek
on the sample of 1200 persons in Croatia. The aim of the project
was to investigate whether religiosity in general and Christian faith
of the spouses influence, in which way and to what extent, on the
life in marriage and family, and on their attitudes about some topics
of married and family life. The work presents the research results
referring to the examinees’ opinions and attitudes about the issue
of divorce in general, as well as about the possibility of entering
a new biological community. The contribution also respects the
results of the past researches, carried out in Croatia, as well as
their cognitions, because those researches have also touched, at
least fragmentarily, the issue of divorce. On the basis of these
cognitions the starting premises of this research were formulated,
which has been presented in this contribution. They referred to the
examinees’ perception of the most frequent reasons for divorce, of
the examinees’ attitudes regarding the phenomenon of divorce in
general, of the most appropriate solution for the future life of the
persons who have experienced divorce, and also of the insufficient influence of Christian consciousness on the examinees’ attitudes
about divorce. On the basis of the obtained research results and
the attempt of the pastoral- theological reflection about them, our
starting premises will prove to have been greatly justified.
