Religion and politics

"When a culture is at the end, it calls for the priests," Karl Kraus.

Religion is one aspect of the policy, it is being exploited for political purposes does or does the secularization of 'exile' of religion to the private sphere? Or is it completely different religion uses the policy for their purpose.

What is politics? Religion can be political. Conversely, policy can be religious. Thus the Church has always been in world history has acted politically. Only someone who knows how to analyze ethics and religion critical, may be responsible politics make the beginning there were two swords, appointed by God to guide the world: The words of St. Luke served in the Middle Ages both the emperor and the Pope as proof of legitimacy their rule and as an argument in the dispute over hegemony. What was to prove the superiority of one of the Pope (sacerdotium), while the independence of the other, the emperor should encourage (regnum). It was an ordinary dependency. The king, who was crowned emperor had, the Pope swear allegiance and support him materially. Rulers have appointed to gods, kings were the defender of Christendom, the Emperor, crowned, on behalf of Allah, the world order is to be destroyed. It is not natural to conceive religion and politics as two separate, distinct regions. Expression of the growing authority of the Church is the image of the penitent King Henry IV.

Politics is found where several people interact and want to realize common interests because this alone is not, or only ineffective, are able, for example, the mammoth hunt). These are habits, rules or laws - that is standards - emerged that enable these common interests realization. Politically, the mammoth hunt but not by the mere creation of hunting rules.

Politics is defined as the process in such a situation leads to a decision. It does not matter whether this is a democratic or autocratic process. In any case, various goods - the potential risks to life and limb and the possible yield in our case - weighed each one to be made for all binding decision and.
