Katolička reforma - ka modernoj simbiozi religije i politike

Abstract

U radu se razmatra katolička reforma kao period promena u Rimokatoličkoj crkvi u 16. i 17. veku, kojima se ona suprotstavljala reformaciji, i koja je sadržala simbiozu religije i politike. Na putu konsolidacije Rimokatolička crkva se nije opredelila za jevanđeoski pristup, te je stoga značajan deo svojih mera sprovela upravo političkim sredstvima, koja su nekada bila agresivna a nekada sofisticirana. Značajni aspekti reforme bili su bliži političkim akcijama nego unutrašnjoj obnovi i reorganizaciji, takvim merama Rimokatolička crkva je pokušavala da se konsoliduje i zaštiti od protestantizma.

The paper discusses the Catholic Reform as a period of change in the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th and 17th centuries, which opposed the Reformation, and which contained a symbiosis of religion and politics. On the path of consolidation, the Roman Catholic Church did not opt for a gospel approach, and therefore implemented a significant part of its measures precisely through political means, which were sometimes aggressive and at times sophisticated. Significant aspects of the Reform were closer to political action than internal reconstruction and reorganization, with such measures the Roman Catholic Church sought to consolidate and protect against Protestantism.
