Summary/Abstract: At the turn of the 19 and 20 century Christianitas fell, because since the 19 century the catholic monarchies were disappearing. During that time a dispute arised between the Church and republican state. Popes published encyclicals on the topic of political systems and relationship with states: Gregory XVI (Mirari vos), Pius IX (Syllabus errorum, Quanta curd), Leon XIII (Diuturnum illud, Immortale Dei), Pius X (Vehementer Nos), Pius XI (Quas Primas, Quadragesimo anno). The traditionalists cite the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas, who claimed that the state came frome God. The traditional movement also object to pronounced on Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) Decree on religious freedom (Dignitatis humanae\ that in their opinion contributed to falling of last catholic countries. At present, the last catholic states are: Vatican, Andora, Monaco and Order of Malta. None of the significant states, express the transcendent truth.
