Summary/Abstract: An authentic democracy is essential for people’s evolution, and its value consists of in the power of its symbols, symbols that a democracy represents and promotes: human dignity, respect for human rights, general welfare of the people. Nevertheless, by the continuous recognition of several “new” rights to several categories of people the modern concept of democracy not only that it is no longer defined by its formal mechanisms, as in 19th century, but it is also defined by the exacerbation in protection and respect towards individual rights and human dignity. What once was considered “immoral” can become “moral” and enforced through law. The legalization of immorality becomes a challenge to the great and beautiful democracies in the world, a challenge that puts to o test an entire system of Christian values and traditions of their own people.
