Abstract This contribution considers the relations between State and religions in Europe through an exam of the theological and political patterns that are behind the legal regulation. It wonders how secular States can explain the special position given to religion and religious organizations in their legal systems once that religion is no more the foundation of political power. Through some historical references and the analysis of the concordats and agreements concluded by the Holy see in the last two centuries, it reaches the conclusion that a 'constantinian' pattern of State-religion relations is still in force and prevents the emerging of a new model based on freedom of religion and respect of pluralism.
