KRŠĆANSTVO I LIBERALIZAM
CHRISTIANITY AND LlBERALlSM

Summary/Abstract: The encounter of Christianity and liberalism begins with the creation of the modern world, with the Enlightenment movement and the political act of the French Revolution. Christianity has, in all three of its forms - as Catholicism, Protestantism and the Orthodox creed - been confronted in different ways with this great global ideology, which stands at the source of all social change and phenomena in the last three centuries. But it was the Catholic Church that had the most turbulent relationship with liberalism. At first it had completely rejected and sternly convicted liberalism. However, in the period of the Second Vatican Council the Church started taking a more conciliatory viewpoint. In the third and the most recent of periods, new signs of intensifying and deepening the conflict between the Catholic Church and liberalism can be observed, where the latter assumes the form of postmodernism. In contrast to Catholicism, Protestantism has from the very beginning found a mutual understanding with liberalism.
