FAITH MARKET IN HUNGARY

Summary/Abstract: The history of Christianity can be described as a battle against various superstitions, beliefs or pagan traditions – or those which are at least regarded as such. Christian ecclesiastical historiography has long emphasized, with a pleasure related closely to the economy of salvation, the alleged or real similarities between the different eras of this struggle. It remains obvious, nonetheless, that the differences between each era far outweigh any perceived similarities. By the turn of the millenium, European Christianity, for example, had been forced to adopt a defensive position, but that position, which implies an inevitable coexistence with a variety of opinions and beliefs, was of a completely different nature to the position defended during the last days of the Roman Empire.
