Klerikalizácia politického života – realita ponovembrového Slovenska
Journal Title: Annales Scientia Politica - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
After the gaining of independence in 1993 we notice a close connection of the Catholic Church and the interests of its managing authorities with the representatives of the state power, what entitles us to claim, that with the establishment of the independent Slovak Republic began the proces of its clericalization. By a close and frequently also co-ordinated cooperation of the religiously oriented political subjects with the representatives of the Catholic Church try the ultimately mentioned to spread their influence on all the areas of the public administration and thus indirectly (in many cases also by an open political engagement) to participate in the political decision making and in the determination of the character of the development of the particular areas of the public life. The consequence is, on the one hand, the „politization“ of the religion and the church activities, on the other hand it leads to the „religionization“ of the political and public life and to the strengthening of the privileged position of the Catholic Church in the structures of the public power in Slovakia as well.
