Abstract		The subject is treated on two levels, in principle and in view of the social concepts as they appear in the recent Slovenian history. For that reason, in the first part, the author considers the original meaning of caritas for the Christian religion, its fundamental ethics, its socio-historical significance and its role in face of the present social condition. In the second part, various concepts of the arrangement of the whole society, as issued (since the end of the previous century) by more notable Slovenian Catholic authors, are presented. The emphasis these authors ascribe to the caritas in terms of their concepts is compared with how they treat other important fields, and this comparison shows it is not the social role of the caritas and its teological aim, but the socio-political concepts which attribute to the caritas inadequate social functions, that are contestable.
