The purpouse of this paper is to examine basal assumptions lying at the bottomof intentional transformations of religious expression’s forms. According to examined
concept “forms” in which these ideas are transmited and taught, are historicaly conditioned,
variable and thus should be adjusted to mentality of conteporary culture. This
proposal rest upon assumtion that we are able to distinguish between relative “form”
of expresion and its objective “essence”/“menaning”. Consideration conducted in an
article prove that this assumtion lack of justification and such efforts to “modernise”
religious language leads do desacralisation.
