The Spiritual Implications of the Union of Transylvania with Romania

TITLU în română: Implicaţiile spirituale ale unirii Transilvaniei cu România
Subiect: This study analyses the religious consequences of the Union of Transylvania with the Kingdom of Romania, which took place on 1 December 1918. Emphasis is laid on the situation of the main denominations in Hungary and their relations with political power up until the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after World War I. Light is shed on the political responses of the religious leaders of the Transylvanian confessional communities to the decision regarding the Union of Transylvania with Romania. Attention is given to their horizon of expectations concerning the legislation issued by the new Romanian state, as well as to the Romanians‟ desire to maintain the rights they previously held. Moreover, the study also analyses the ever more strained relations, after 1918, between the two Romanian confessions (Orthodox and Greek-Catholic), pointing out the changes that were brought about by the main enactments adopted in the third decade of the 20th century, which modified their status and governed their activity.
