Summary/Abstract: The paper presents and comments on the discussions that took place between cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and philosopher Jürgen Habermas. It concerned the current secularization and a place of religion in a liberal constitutional state. This is an example of how this type of discourse can be carried out in a manner intended to reach an agreement and pointing to the benefits the two „spheres” can draw upon each other. The author attempts to identify a source of a similar diagnosis which is established by both thinkers as well as to indicate how conclusions of the discussions affect the perception of the role of law in the modern state.
