- W48488002 abstract "Abstract This paper starts from the belief that the realities of post-communist world, including the relations between Church and State, should benefit from an appropriate theoretical delineation, which is currently missing. This is more relevant if one bears in mind the relevance of Orthodox Church in Romania due to its high legitimacy among Romanian population, in a more general context described by an increasing relevance of religious issues, here being also included the European Union and the internal debates about its Christian roots, about the potential role of a catholic Poland or the eventuality of admitting a Muslim country within its borders. Key words: secularization, deprivatization, Romanian Orthodox Church, Central and Eastern Europe, post-communism, Church--State relations Introduction This paper starts from the belief that the realities of post-communist world, including the relations between Church and State, would benefit from an appropriate theoretical delineation that is currently missing. This is especially the case concerning the Orthodox Church of Romania, which enjoys high levels of legitimacy among the Romanian population. This is an increasingly relevant issue both within the country and the European Union, particularly as the latter debates its Christian roots, as well as the potential role of a Catholic Poland, and the eventuality of admitting a Muslim country within its borders Beginning with the assumption that in every society religion is inherently an expression and reinforcement of social solidarity (1), it is essential to keep in mind the Durkheimian conception that religion serves as a marker for any community of believers, and indicates the sacred nature of both permanent social obligations and social practices to induce social cohesion (2). Moreover, an analysis of the relationship between the Church and the state should concede that such an analysis describes the historical outcome of the process of nation-building, in which a legitimized leadership attempts to consolidate their position. The resurgence of religion in the contemporary world is a highly debated subject, and is constantly linked to its importance in the collapse of the Communist bloc. (3) Generally, it is admitted that Churches emerged as powerful actors in the post-communist era, as they were highly legitimized by their suppression under communism. Yet this issue has become very controversial, as religion has turned from a private matter to a politically divisive issue. (4) Studies on the role of religion in East Central Europe have looked at the role of Churches in the democratization process in terms of the institutional space they created and by their symbolic resources, yet in doing so often neglect the substantive content of religion, and limit their research to an empty vessel approach. (5) The relationship between the State and Church is often addressed within the dichotomy of Western and Eastern Christianity, since they prescribe different connections to nationality and ethnicity. Specifically, Eastern Orthodox Christianity, which is the focus of this paper, is considered to relate to the Christian ecclesiastical identity of ethnic identity and secular power (6). It is generally assumed that the Orthodox Church was not part of the process of modernization, but that it first become involved as an alternative existential project (7) Additionally, while it is a generally acknowledged that during communism the Orthodox was politically passive, through analyzing the case of the Romanian Orthodox Church this paper will argue that this particular institution has clear political objectives consistent with a process of post-communist deprivatization. According to the last census, Romania is one of the most religious European states, with a level of 87,5% self-declared Christian Orthodox and a constant level of confidence in the Orthodox Church of around 80 percent (8). …" @default.
