The study that follows aims to be a sociological approach to the structure of contemporary Catholicism, with special reference to its expression in the centre and west of continental Europe. Not wishing to ignore other aspects of the issue, nor to exhaust the question, it seeks to focus on a sector of religious semantics in contemporary Catholicism: the area of the social order. Aware that Catholicism cannot be reduced to its religious dimension, even if this dimension, currently in crisis, has been the dominant tendency over the centuries, the present contribution endeavours to synthesise the results achieved through research dedicated to contemporary Catholic religious semantics and, in particular, to the way in which this thematises and organises questions relating to the social order. In this sense, it analyses certain aspects of the radical divergence between the most widely publicised religious semantic and another alternative one recovered by tradition through the 2nd Vatican Council, but not taken fully on board by Catholicism in the geographical-cultural area referred to. After an exposition of the two types of semantic, there is a presentation of the differences that distinguish them. Lastly is an attempt to shed light on certain perspectives under debate by the currently non-dominant semantic, albeit assumed by Vatican II and subsequent Popes.
