Carl Schmitt's Political Theology exposes the existence of systematic and methodical analogies between law and theology. For him, the parallelism between theology and law reflects the necessary unity of religion and politics in the representation of concrete (normative) orders, since in both theology and law, the representation of political unity enables the existence of a concrete legal order. From this correlation, the present research aims to investigate the theological background of the concept "guardian of the Constitution." Based on a deductive theoretical and contextual analysis of the works of the author and those of his commentators, the proposed hypothesis was confirmed. According to this hypothesis, the interfaces between law and religion in Schmitt’s writings allow a relationship to be established between the "guardian of the Constitution" and the existence of an almighty God in the religious world. In this analogy, the sovereign assumes the mystical role of protecting the material constitution -the political unity of the people-, just as God protects his believers and keeps the divine laws.
