KONFESIONALNA PRIPADNOST - RELIGIJSKO ILI POLITIČKO OBILJEŽJE
CONFESSIONAL AFFILIATION - RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL FEATURE

Summary/Abstract: The postsocialist period of development of Croatian society has been marked by numerous changes in all fields of social life. These changes have also, naturally, occurred in the relationship towards religion. An illustrative example is the relationship towards confessional affiliation in which secular issues are strongly accentuated (confirmation of the national, expressions of tradition, conformism, lay motifs ...) The main task the author has taken upon himself is to examine the "quality" of awareness concerning confessional affiliation (do secular or sacral characteristics prevail?), as well as to determine whether the change of political circumstances influenced the "politization" of confessional affiliation. For the completion of this task a smaller part of a research was used, conducted in Eastern Slavonia in April 1994, on a sample of 566 examinees (Roman Catholics). Two instruments from a much broader questionnaire were taken.
