Abstract

Priests in rural settlements represent a communication base and their main mission is to care for the spiritual life of parishioners and to cooperate in education and upbringing of the youth through religious studies at the local elemental schools. It is therefore necessary to assess the attitude and participation of the Church in questions concerning the communal life and its possible perspectives. Participation of the Roman Catholic Church in the development and management of communes in the district of Trnava has been assessed by means of sociological research. The aim of the paper is to present opinion and attitude of the Roman Catholic priests active in 23 parishes to the questions concerning the environmental quality, specification of environmental, economic, and social problems, as well as evaluation of human potential.

Keywords: rural settlements, environmental quality, rural development, interview, Roman Catholic priests
