Abstract
The existence of a daco-roman Christianity in the carpato-danubiano-pontic
areal is confirmed not only by the historians, but also by the Romanian
theologians and philosophers. Inspired by the Scripture’s letter and by the
teachings of the Holy Fathers, most of them developed this link in the
purpose of argumentation of a “Romanian dimension of the existence”.
From Nae Ionescu, Crainic, to Vulcănescu, Cioran, Ţuţea, and then Ioan Gh.
Savin, Dumitru Stăniloae, I.G. Coman or Nestor Vornicescu, the entire
Romanian cultural elite makes a very important confession about the
Christian foundation of the Romanian existence. With the help of a
theological and spiritual heritage, therefore enforced by daco-roman
specific, the work of these illuminated people of our nation determinates
“the eternal Romanian icon of understanding the world”, finishing in the
end with the confessing of “a Romanian dimension of existence”. In their
kind of thinking, these “prophets of Romanian nation” “the skyline of
Romanian world lays down from ordinary as far as legend, from here to
beyond, from presence to absence, from then till now, from now as far as
eternity, with an entire variety of Romanian modulation of nature, like
Constantin Noica named them in his Romanian Feeling of Essence. And
among these worlds, the passing through comes senseless, in an organic
way; through a custom, but custom like place of passing through, not like a
forbiddance, personally integrated in the existence like a step, not like
threshold. All these words: beyond, absence, eternity are for the Romanian
people qualities of his own nature”.
