THIRD LEVEL: Dissertation

Topic: Contributions of Catholicism in Contemporary Political Debate. Conditions and
Possibilities.
In our research, we want to explore which is the place of the religion in a constitutional
democracy, more specifically, Catholicism. With our study, we want to develop a methodology
which could be able to articulate the public discourse of the Church in a context of strong
secularization, like Uruguay, which privatizes religion from the public arena. From our point of
view, the Uruguayan model of secularization, which has shaped the relationship between
Catholics and democracy in the last century, is outdated. Therefore, this reality provokes to think
new paths of understanding the role of religion in civic life.
Regarding this issue, our research will try to define a methodology by which Catholics could
have a role in the public debate, respecting our tradition and fulfilling the requirements that
religions must follow in a constitutional democracy. However, some scholars and policymakers
believe religion does not have a place in this political regime, and it must be relegated to
personal practices. This view leads to religious privatization, which considers that the only way

11
of moral reasoning in a constitutional democracy is a secularized public reason. In turn, other
scholars and policymakers believe that this view of public reason is not only restrictive but also
an attempt to identify public reason with the secular one. In this way, there is no space for the
public presence of religion. This problem introduces us to the secularization debate and the
public role of religion. From this debate, we will visit the philosophical-political discussion
about the role of religion in democracy and the conditions that religion has to fulfill to participate
in the democratic debate. From our perspective, Catholicism, since the Second Vatican Council,
appropriates the political regime of liberal democracy and human rights, and it becomes a
democratizing force and an advocator for Human Rights. Therefore, Roman Catholics fulfills the
requirements of public reason that religion has to follow to participate in the public arena.
From this relationship between Catholicism and Human Rights, we will explore the
theology of David Hollenbach and, in this way, develop a methodology to participate in the
political debate that, as we said at the beginning, respects the contents of the tradition, along with
the obligations of citizenship.
