Summary/Abstract: This article provides significant insights into the relative politicization of the Simonist model of religious liberty in modern Europe. Furthermore, the present paper takes initiative in the wish to contribute to understanding the spirituality characterizing this period and this territory. In the preliminary stage, the purpose of the paper is to offer to those who study the problem of institutional relations between Church and State in Europe the possibility to come back to the nineteenth century, suggesting as working hypothesis a new interpretation: analyzing the religious liberty and the regime of cults starting from the political and legal context of the period and the philosophical teachings of Saint-Simon.
