Relations with the Communist government

[edit]

it's really strange there isn't such a section. I remember that Biruitorul once said that 80-90% of the priests collaborated with the Securitate. And this wasn't just a priest, was the patriarch (he was received by Ceausescu at the state council in 1977, was a member of the Great National Assembly and, according to some guys in the American Senate, he was "an older KGB agent", who "limited the number of students of Theological Institute to 10 per year", "demolished Biserica Enei and St. George church in Bucharest and a lot of others churches in country side" and "invited at his patriarchale residence in Bucharest distinguished nouns, priest of all religious denominations, arrested them and turned them to the Securitate").Anonimu 19:49, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; this is merely a translation from ro.wiki. In the future I would love to explore his relations with the régime, should sources on the matter be forthcoming, but if you would like to contribute something, I invite you to do so. Biruitorul 20:52, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure if this is a reliable source, but perhaps it is worth investigating: http://www.christianmonitor.org/Wurmbrand.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daisydust (talkcontribs) 06:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
