Summary/Abstract: Some attitudes held as being knowledge about Dominis, are often the result of the assumption of long since created prejudices. Such adopted thinking that he was capricious, that e was constantly fleeing, that he frequently changed his opinion, and that at the end of his life he refuted all his theses again, should undergo a serious revision, because it seems that it was in fact the opposite. It seems that the conclusions about Dominis were not founded on his written attitudes, and even less on the entirety of his actions, but are most often the result of the arbitrary interpretation of his dramatic life story. However, if we look at Dominis’s significance through his basic idea – the idea of the unification of all Christian churches, which in the effort of its implementation into action he often had to adapt to various situations, to intensify or to tone down, it can be seen that he did not basically change it and despite everything followed it consistently the whole of his life.
