Summary/Abstract: Orthodox Christianity and the Orthodox Church played an important role for the early political ideology of the Romanian people. Thus, the religious factor defined much of the Romanian ethos (Romanian lege) throughout centuries, by shaping all kinds of relations between the Orthodox and the other ethnic or religious (especially Muslim, and Catholic/Protestant) identities. Those theological structures continued to shape this process of identity making until the eve of the modern era.
