Market State and the Future of Religion

Abstract

During the works on the new social-political order the congregation and representatives of the Catholic Church pointed to the necessity of recognizing the values that are fundamental from the point of view of the Church, as well as of the Catholic social teaching. It is exactly the Catholic social teaching that was the source of the principles referred to by the initiators of the process of constructing what is today known as the European Union (K. Adenauer, A. de Gaspari, R. Schuman). In the article the aggressive moral relativism is criticized and the need to find lasting anchorages for the shaping of the EU’s identity is pointed to.
