The article debates on the topic of involvement of the church and religion in politics. The authors urges the need for openness form both sides overlooking the scepticism for this possible partnership. Since many political parties declare themselves followers of the Christian values, even if it is mostly for the eyes of the electorate, the author suggest the further pursuit of these values for reaching better solutions in their political activity. The article attempts to sketch the premises of a discussion concerning the relations between religion and politics in contemporary society. In view of a rapid succession of events in the contemporary world it is indeed essential to say more about the subject of the role played by religion in terms of its involvement in politics and policy influence on the religious consciousness. Some of the post-socialist countries experienced after the fall of communism what some called a religious revival and the changes of the religious mentalities occurred in the process of transition from a closed, ideologically monopolized, atheistic society, to a pluralistic one. In an attempt to demonstrate the variety of the shades in the relations between religion and politics, the article examines the developments of this phenomenon, placing them in larger social and historical context of politics and church/state relations.

Articolul pune în dezbare subiectul cu privire la implicarea bisericii şi religiei în politică. Autorii accentuează necesitatea unei deschideri bilaterale, care ar trece cu vederea peste scepticismul acestui posibil parteneriat.
