One of them became an ecumenical movement that promotes openness among societies, respect for differences and encourages the dialogue. Suggested by the author＇s loss of interest in ecumenical ideas and lack of reception of inter-church documents, it results from the reduction of the role of religion in the institutional dimension. This is reflected in the processes of secularization and privatization, and consequently resignations of large social groups of being part to any church. Modern man is a result of pluralistic reality in a way that an individual is individually looking for religious and non-religious references and systematically distances himself from the models of religiosity proposed by the Churches. In this context, the proposed ecumenical movement, i.e., legitimized by religious institutions, loses its importance and is identified only as treatment that restores the prestige of Churches.展开更多
