ABSTRACT:
Europe’s history is like a manuscript of divisions between East and West: a boundary that stretches more than a thousand years. This history is full with more or less unsuccessful examples of attempts where this boundary was to be thrown away or at least minimized to certain degree. But, the actual failure in these attempts doesn’t mean that the impact left behind, moreover the religious impact in current social context is to be considered as rather irrelevant.
