Confessionalization vs Secularization paradigm? Comparative perspectives from Western and Eastern/Southeastern Europe

Τhe Confessionalization Paradigm was constructed to doubt a linear historical approach which connected directly the secularization process of the modernity with the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. But as long as we have to stand critical against an idealized version of Secularizationʼs paradigm (as for example it took place in 1905 France) we have already to deal with the following question: the contribution of the political elites to the formation of religious identities was also pivotal for controlling and manipulating the interests of powerful religious elites? If Confessionalization was a field of continuous negotiation between political and religious elites, the secularization could be perceived as a progressive marginalization of the clergy not only to the civil society but also in the interior of the state mechanisms.
