The Church, as a theo-isocial actuality, derives i/tis. sense from the Book of Relevations, but in specific conditions of the society of whose integral part she is. That is, the diversity of social ...counse of things stipulate in certain local churches also the diversity of stress paraller to
their conscience. For the conscience of the Church in Yugoslavia to suit
the socio-political surroundings in which she exists and functions, it is
indispensable to implement as soon and as thoroughly as possible into
her existance:
a) unideologisation of faith and cult
b) décléricalisation of conscience and practice of the Church
c) reintegration of historical conscience
That is, since self-management defined as a proletariat dictatorship in
which a general politization of an entire human existence occurs, the
faith itself under these conditions beoomes a »political« phenomenon
and as such is an object against which a single political party systematically rebels. And since the Church is a social phenomenon — that is, an organisation found on exactly that faith — it should stand to reason that to her as well, political aspirations are attributed by which she is brought into a conflicting situation toward the political society. The Church, however, does not concern herself with politics but rather with this kind of general politization of human existance that part which
originally and inalienably forms the Church is also politicized and by
this threatens its identity. And it is exactly for this purpose of guarding
this identity that it is necessary to implement into life the three stated
tasks.
