Summary/Abstract: The birth as a Romanian and Christian people, in a concomitant manner and time, gave rise to in-depth research on both the national origin and especially the apostolic origin of the Romanian people’s faith. Exacerbated nationalism and the phyletism of exaggerated faith still give rise to verbal disputes. Moreover, the idea of an ethnic messianity and the search for a true leader who must be strong, with intact morality, semi-authoritarian, but at the same time gentle and understanding, become increasingly hot topics in the syncretic space of Byzantine symphony (religious and political).
