Summary/Abstract: Middle Ages was par excellence the religious man's age, the individual relating to the religious community to which he belonged. Relations between different faith communities in a state were governed by political power in the interests of time. In case of Moldavia, the Reign defeated the Orthodox Church of a majority, establishing tolerance relations between subjects of different religions/confessionals. In the sixteenth century, following changes in perception, the high clergy could influence an intolerant attitude towards non-Orthodox.
