Already at the beginning of this century, in \u003ci\u003eRoman Catholicism and Political Form\u003c\/i\u003e, Carl Schmitt juxtaposed a juridical interpretation of religion oriented to the political sphere to Max Weber's sociological interpretation oriented to the economic sphere in \u003ci\u003eThe Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAccording to G. L. Ulmen, translator of \u003ci\u003eRoman Catholicism and Political FormAsserting that all significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts, Schmitt felt the need to address the question of what political form might replace the state. It was in this context that he wrote Roman Catholicism and Political Form, which presupposes an affinity not only between the Church and the state, but between Catholicism and political thinking. Once the state began to lose its monopoly of politics and, thereby, its legitimacy, Schmitt looked to the other side of the occidental equation--the Catholic Church--in search of a new form of the political. His argument proceeds from the assumption that there is a structural identity between the metaphysical image of the world a particular age creates and the form of a political organization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e G.
