Sažetak
During the transitional period the position of the Catholic Church in Croatia has been thoroughly changed. Indicators of the recent socio-religious researches are the witnesses of this fact: they indicate that the number of declared Catholics has significantly increased and that manifest religiosity has also grown. The results showed that it was the case of traditional church-oriented, collectivistic religiosity closely linked to the family and the nation, mediated through a family socialization, with familiar elements: the sequence of the sacraments from baptising to the last rites, attending religious instruction, religious education within the family and at least occasional church attendances. The Catholic Church in Croatia emerges as an active factor in all the aspects of public life – political, social, economic, pedagogical, educational and cultural, so we may say that the importance of religion in public life has grown in general, to which additionally contributed the four agreements signed between Republic of Croatia and the Holy See. On the basis of various indicators this paper discusses the proportion of the process of de-secularisation, at the levels of the state, political life and civil society.
