Title Catholicism in Crisis: praxis and lexis of Antanas Maceina
Summary The thesis aims to answer the question why anti-modernist ideas were so tempting to the Catholic intellectuals. This problem is tackled from the perspective of intellectual history. The answer will be pursued by the examination of the political and social activities of Lithuanian philosopher Antanas Maceina, a prominent member of Lithuanian Catholic intellectuals in the 1930s. The thesis answers the questions such as: what are the factors that lead to the combination of Catholicism and political anti-modernism to form radical right?; what does determine the different political preferences of those who share the same Catholic background?
