- Abstract
The loss of the tole and prestige of the Catholic Church in a modern Europe divided along denominational and ideological lines, the legal secularization of states, the pressing social question, the polarization of societies, the "general madness" of wars, have forced the papacy to systematize and rethink its teaching. It was motivated not only by a series of challenges, but also by the realization that the knowledge of the Catholic electorate in the political arena is limited and selective. This paper presents the four ideological pillars of Christian state theory the common good, peaceful coexistence, the political impartiality of the Church, the limits of civic obedience and examines their enrichment of meaning. This reflection is fostered by the interaction between church organizations, movements, intellectual forums and hierarchy. On the one hand, the texts under study stressed that political action is inseparable from moral considerations, and on the other, they underlined the "primacy of the human person" in the relations between the individual, community organizations and state power.
