Abstract
Secularization was a broad phenomenon of modernity. His purpose, the disappearance of religion, is still true? Last two decennial studies attest the revitalization of sacred and his repositioning in the public sphere. Christian religious traditions have been a source of public reason. Today they must translate their values in a secular language. The role of religious traditions in Europe is to lobby for entering values in public reason. Romanian Church had not and has not a social doctrine. Can it be considered an actor of public reason?
