Abstract
This brief survey sheds light on the main characteristics of the relations between the Catholic Church and the state in the Slovenian territory in the following three consecutive periods: from the end of World War Two to the beginning of democratization (1945–1989), the period marked by the process of attaining political independence for the Republic of Slovenia (1989–1991), and from the declaration of independence in 1991 until today.
