Abstract:	Profesor teologije na ljubljanski teološki fakulteti dr. Jože Rajhman je raziskoval slovensko protestantsko teologijo 16. stoletja, posebej Primoža Trubarja. Kot katoliški teolog je prvi na Slovenskem ocenjeval protestantsko teologijo afirmativno. V razpravi osvetljujem, kako je ob analizi Moltmannove teze o politični razsežnosti vsake teologije poudaril razliko med angažirano teologijo, ki izpostavlja krščanski etos, ter podleganjem teologije politični religiji, ki jo vsiljujejo totalitarni režimi. Ob primerjavi z moralno pasivnostjo nemškega protestantizma ob nasilju nacizma je nakazal na podobno držo slovenskega katoliškega integrizma. Ob tem je poudaril, da je prav v pogojih socialistične sekularne družbe teologija dolžna uveljavljati krščanska moralna načela kljub pritiskom struktur oblasti. Začrtal je jasno razločitev med politično angažirano teologijo in politično religijo, ki je namenjena utrjevanju totalitarne države. V tem kontekstu je razvijal angažirano teologijo socialne države in pri tem sledil Moltmannovemu stališču, da marksistična kritika religije ni vsebinska kritika krščanstva, pač pa kritika politične prakse in nesocialne drže krščanskih Cerkva. Posebej za slovenske razmere ugotavlja, da ima po zlomu komunističnega režima politizacija katoliške Cerkve, ki stremi k integrističnemu uveljavljanju v družbi in s tem k totalni rekatolizaciji, negativne posledice za ohranjanje avtoritarnih družbenih modelov v Sloveniji. S tem samo prispeva k negativnemu odnosu večinske družbe do krščanskih moralnih vrednot. Katoliška Cerkev mora v skladu z naukom evangelija služiti človeku v dani družbi. Cerkev ne more biti sama sebi cilj, pač pa je njen cilj vedno dobro vsakega človeka ne glede na njegovo prepričanje. Ta antropološka usmerjenost je temeljna značilnost Rajhmanove teologije, ki ji je bil do konca zvest kljub nasprotovanju cerkvene hierarhije.

Title:	The significance of political theology in the work of theologian Jože Rajhman
Abstract:	Slovenian Protestant theology of the sixteenth century, especially Primož Trubar. As a Catholic theologian, he was the first in Slovenia to evaluate Protestant theology affirmatively. In the paper I highlight how, in analyzing Moltmann’s thesis on the political dimen- sion of every theology, he emphasized the difference between engaged theology, which stresses the Christian ethos, and the subjugation of theology to political religion imposed by totalitarian regimes. In comparing the moral passivity of German Protestantism in the face of Nazi violence, he pointed to a similar attitude of Slovenian Catholic integral- ism. At the same time, he stressed that precisely in the conditions of a socialist secular society theology was obliged to uphold Christian moral principles despite the pressures of state structures. He drew a clear distinction between politically engaged theology and political religion, which serves to consolidate the totalitarian state. In this context, he developed an engaged theology of the social state and in doing so followed Moltmann’s position that Marxist criticism of religion is not a substantive critique of Christianity, but a critique of the political practice and the unsocial conduct of Christian Churches. Particularly for Slovenian circumstances, he observed that after the collapse of the com- munist regime the politicization of the Catholic Church, which strives for integrist as- sertion in society and thus for total reCatholicization, has negative consequences for the preservation of authoritarian social models in Slovenia. In this way it only contributes to the negative attitude of the majority society towards Christian moral values. The Catholic Church must, in accordance with the teaching of the Gospel, serve the human being in the given society. The Church cannot be an end in itself; rather, its aim is always the good of every human being regardless of their conviction. This anthropological orientation is the fundamental characteristic of Rajhman’s theology, to which he remained faithful until the end, despite opposition from the Church hierarchy.
