The present research addresses matters concerning the relationship between Church and state during the reign of Theodosius II of Rome, analyzing especially the case of legitimization of the imperial authority found in the first half of the fifth century when the Empress Pulcheria tried to identify herself with the Virgin Mary before her subjects in order to further maintain control of the state alongside her brother, Theodosius II. This paper also attempts to connect the problem of the political experiment with the development of a Marian devotion in Constantinople as a solution for pagan cults’ inculturation, reassessing Nestorius’ reaction in parallel with the position of Epiphanius of Salamina.

The Enlightenment did not suggest resignation from a great narration and did not postulate to replace it with some minimalistic proposal of a lay state which openly confesses that it is not interested and does not have any competence in the area of religion. It did not pass homo religiosus indifferently. It introduced into the politics an idea of the state and public space which is free from Catholic narration, originally for a civic religion, then for worldview neutrality. On behalf of the thesis of the end of great narrations, with time it introduced a great narration of “naked public space”, which – due to its exclusivity demand – became a part of a political program for social promotion of atheism. The article presents the influence of the Enlightenment on the European culture, and in particular it pays attention to the anthropological crisis in Europe which is the consequence of the anti-Christian character of this trend. Contemporary EU politics is a continuation of the Enlightenment ideas.
