The article is dedicated to the origins and development of the Italian socio-political Catholic movement before 1919. It analyses the implications of the ideological-political conflict between the Church and the State (mainly the so-called “Roman question” — the problem of temporal Pope’s power, and the non expedit principle which did not allow Italian Catholics to participate in parliamentary elections) in the context of the Risorgimento that is the movement for and process of national and political unification of Italy. The text not only presents the birth and functioning of particular Catholic organisations but also clarifies the origins and nature of the divisions in the Italian Catholic camp until 1919 when the first modern Christian democratic political party — Italian Popular Party — was established.

Italian social-political Catholicism in both its ideological and organistional dimensions, as it was in most European countries in the 19th century, originated and initially developed in opposition towards the philosophy of Enlightenment as well as the principles of the year 1789. One of the most important issues for Italian Catholic social-political movement and thought was the “Roman question,” which was the implication of the Risorgimento (“Rising Again”). Italian Catholic social–political thought was originally influenced by traditionalists, integrists, ultramontans and monarchists but later — when threatened by socialism and the “social question” — it became much more open to social conceptions combined with the ideas of democracy, social justice and equality, subsidiarity and common good, which were also to be implemented in the international field.

The article is to analyse one of the most important rules connected with political order of modern democracies, namely the state – church separation principle. Contemporary, within the euroatlantic culture and civilisation, this principle is widely accepted as the systemic formula regulating the relations between state — political and religious spheres. The origins of these domains’ separation, which is the projection of a new laic vision of the world, is strictly associated with the secularism process that confirms laic order’s autonomy in relation to religious sphere. This process goes together with the phenomenon of the desacralisation of culture, picture of man and world, idea of God, politics, society etc. The secularism is implied mainly by the philosophy of Renaissance and Enlighment surrounded by certain transitions in the field of culture, religion, society and politics. At the outset, securalism led to Christian universality’s explosion (combined with the struggle between political and spiritual powers) and – subsequently – this universality’s negation. This resulted in the ideological and political conflict between state and church, in which the philosophy and position of the latter was at first advocated by the Catholic traditionalists.

The starting point of the paper is an attempt to define politics as a relatively educed domain of social life, while pointing at these elements of social sphere which are directly or indirectly associated with the phenomenon of politics. In this context it was assumed that politics is a certain field of social life constituted by the configuration of the relations and activities which are determined by conflicts, struggle, compromises and cooperation among social groups, political organizations, political decision centers and individuals that all together endeavor to realize their fundamental needs and interests throughout the execution of or influence on the political power. Thus, politics, remaining an immanent part of social life, is a human creation, a precise response to one’s needs, desires, expectations, pursuits, aims and values; thereby politics is a piece of culture determined by the core cultural values. That is the reason why politics and this what is political cannot be separated from values and evaluations, and the most important thesis underlining the axiological determinants of politics is the fact that its subject, creator as well as recipient is human being — the sole creature endowed with axiological consciousness. The author, trying to show the relations between politics and the realm of values, analyzes the nature of value itself as well political values and their functions in sociopolitical environment. These considerations end with the brief characteristic of political realism and idealism which leads to the conclusion that each politics is a mixture of idealism and realism, and if one of these components begins to dominate, if an excessive dose of idealism eliminates realism — or vice versa – then such politics is doomed.
