The author's starting-point statement suggests that the tendencies of re-catholicisation are not an invention of the 21st century and are not only a characteristic of Slovenian society. Although the expression of these tendencies has been changing somewhat according to the changeable social environment, they are in essence the Catholic Church's responses to the radical challenges produced by real efforts to do away with various kinds of social inequality. The strengthened Church activity has namely never been intended for the internal Church community only, but primarily for the whole social community. The placement of this activity within the real environment allows answers to the question of its sense and objectives. Regarding this cognitive starting-point, the author presents the key features of re-catholicisation tendencies in Slovenia - focusing particularly on the Church's engagement in the social issue - during the last two decades of the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century and also in the first decade of the 21st century. Similarly to past re-catholicisation endeavours - aiming at the eradication of various "social evils" in all spheres of life - today such activities are legitimised by the need for a "proper" (religion-based) morality. In contemporary Slovenia the strategy for the Church's revitalised activity is comprehended in the Final Document of the Plenary Session of the Church in Slovenia entitled Choose Life and published in 2002. If the implementation of this strategy is compared with the overall Catholic practice a century ago, the conclusion of the second re-catholicisation of Slovenian society - aiming at "uniformity of all" - is justified.
