Backround: Religion represents an adamant part of the life of society, where fast changes influence the activity of the Church. Situation, activities, contribution and development ability of the Slovak Catholic Church should be scientifically explored in a long-term horizon. The submitted study offers a fundamental realia in this regard, followed by theological and analytic perception of the situation in various areas like science and research, religiosity of the youth, Church-state relations, ecumenical and interreligious facts or the system of education. The study focuses on the perception of a system change in 1989 within the Catholic Church in Slovakia and the challenges emerging from this transformation with the impact on the European Catholic theology. Historical-theological understanding of the situation enables the development of open theology in Europe face to face with ongoing changes. Conclusion: The most important knowledge emerging from the inquiry of Church´s activity in the society is the necessity of a dialogue and critical thinking at all levels. The implications on the level of theoretical research and their further application in the area relevant for this study should be implemented in pastoral plans on both diocesan and parish levels.
