Horizontálódás, avagy a szent mai kultuszáról
A New Way of Respecting the Saints

Summary/Abstract: Throughout the history of mankind, social forms have been built on characteristics with vertical and horizontal relationships. Vertical meant the connection with the supernatural while the horizontal included the human relationships. It seems that in today’s postmodern society the pattern breaks up and a bigger role is given to the horizontal relationship. Consequently the supernatural shrinks to become part of the horizontal. The meaning of the “saint” or the “holy” appears in a whole new way while respectof the saints is forced to take a role as minority. In this brief study we will try to take a look at thatnew way of respecting the Saints, while pointing out the chances to accept their role as a minority.
