ABSTRACT The article aims to provide a political reading of the phenomenon of secularization, examining, in particular, the relationship between the Christian Democracy (D.C.), the Italian Catholic world, and the process of secularization. It is divided in four different levels of analysis. First of all, it investigates: (1) contemporary discussion, reconstructing the assessments and readings most common in the circles of the D.C. and the varied world of Italian Catholicism. Then, it analyses: (2) the reactions of Christian Democrats and leading figures of the Catholic world, particularly identifying what solutions they proposed to respond to the challenges posed by the process of secularization. It seeks, then, to compare: (3) the perspectives of these leading figures, with some possible hypotheses of the real effects of secularization on the political attitudes of Italians, paying particular attention to its consequences on the identity of the Christian democratic membership and on the electoral choices of citizens. By way of conclusion, the article formulates: (4) some hypotheses to help reconsider a shared interpretation about the existence of a causal relationship between ‘secularization-crisis/end of the DC’, identifying instead in other processes (specifically the role the Cold War played in the sacralization/desacralization of political cultures) the key factors underlying the identity of the D.C., the support it gathered, and the party’s collapse.

基督教民主危机的根源:天主教意大利的终结还是冷战意大利的终结?

摘要本文旨在提供一种关于世俗化现象的政治解读,尤其是研究基督教民主国家(DC),意大利天主教世界与世俗化进程之间的关系。它分为四个不同的分析级别。首先,它进行了以下研究:(1)当代讨论,重新构建DC和意大利天主教世界中最普遍的评估和读物。然后,它进行了分析:(2)基督教民主人士和天主教世界的主要人物的反应,特别是确定他们提出了什么解决方案来应对世俗化进程带来的挑战。然后,它寻求比较:(3)这些主要人物的观点,关于世俗化对意大利人政治态度的实际影响的一些可能假说,尤其要注意世俗化对基督教民主会员身份和公民选举选择的影响。作为结论,本文提出:(4)一些假设,以帮助重新考虑关于“世俗化危机/ DC终结”之间存在因果关系的共同解释,而是在其他过程中进行识别(特别是感冒的作用)。战争是政治文化的毁灭/毁灭的关键),这是DC身份,其所获得的支持以及该党垮台的关键因素。特别注意其对基督教民主会员身份和公民选举选择的影响。作为结论,本文提出:(4)一些假设,以帮助重新考虑关于“世俗化危机/ DC终结”之间存在因果关系的共同解释,而是在其他过程中进行识别(特别是感冒的作用)。战争是政治文化的毁灭/毁灭的关键),这是DC身份,其所获得的支持以及该党垮台的关键因素。特别注意其对基督教民主会员身份和公民选举选择的影响。作为结论,本文提出:(4)一些假设,以帮助重新考虑关于“世俗化危机/ DC终结”之间存在因果关系的共同解释,而是在其他过程中进行识别(特别是感冒的作用)。战争是政治文化的毁灭/毁灭的关键),这是DC身份,其所获得的支持以及该党垮台的关键因素。
