Catholicism and modernity: Democracy in the social doctrine of the Catholic church

Abstract

The article analyzes the transformation of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church, the main reference points of the present day social doctrine and the place of democracy in this doctrine. The article describes the catholic understanding of democracy vis-à-vis minimalist and maximalist approaches to democracy and shows that the Church has a maximalist and participatory vision of democracy which originates from the social doctrine.
