%X The paper discusses the context, substance and likely implications of the European Court of Human RightsĄ¯ very recent but, in our view, historic decision in the case of Lautsi v. Italy. The article offers an outline of the case and of the decisionĄ¯s motivation, a presentation of the responses, and a brief discussion of its relevance to the similar Romanian case. We examine in some detail the objections leveled against the ruling, track the progress of the CourtĄ¯s relevant jurisprudence on the issue, and suggest some possible consequences.
