  Abstract:  State and Church in Moldavia During Vasile Lupu (1634-1653). In the years 1634-1653, rulership and church were the institutions through which Moldavia asserted herself in the Eastern area, through which the state imposed itself as "protector of Orthodoxy" in East-Central Europe and through which Moldavia identified herself in relation to other European states. By collaborating with the state, the church attempted at imposing a social discipline and reassert faith in an age characterized by such projects coordinated by the state and the official church. In fact, the two tried to forge a "perfect" Christian society, the church’s obedience to the state, as apostle Paul had put it, endowing it with all necessary means to implement it.
