Summary/Abstract: In his essay about The Mioritic Space, Lucian Blaga states that “the Christian doctrine endured some adaptations and accepted some spiritual infiltrations dictated by the local or ethnic spirit of the various geographic regions”. Complementarily, we can say that the “local or ethnic spirit” has always been influenced by religious doctrines that have stood up or, on the contrary, have amended some secular customs and customs. Starting from the above-mentioned theses, we will try to describe some aspects of the spiritual bipolarity specific to the Bukovinian Germans of Roman Catholic Confession. In particular, we will emphasize the ambivalent influence of the Catholic Church on the use of the mother tongue by the German Catholics of Bukovina.
