Summary/Abstract: Regardless the importance of the personality and work of Vilko Anderlć, his work and his views should also be analysed critically. There qre, nemely, some things in his work that need to be modified: it is necessary to clearly define the function of the ftith as a factor of renewal in the society; to revalorize the certain apologetic approach to the evaluqtion of historical contributions of Christianity; social doctrine of the Church should be available to wide masses of people. There are also some elements that are not completely acceptable because they were a result of historical circumstances: morality and ethics were based on no more than religious principles; the belief that Christian attitudes ore a priori inconsistent with so called "social democracy"; negative response to all the positive aspects of secularisation; elitist notion of the role of Christianity in the renewal of the society
