Emil Dumea: Biserică şi stat în România contemporană
In this article, Fr. Emil Dumea synthesizes the relationship between the Romanian state and the Church in the XX-th century. Through mentioning the constitutional disposals after the creation of modern Romanian state and the adoption of its first constitution, the one from 1866, till nowadays legislation, the author classifies the confessions in Romania, on the first place being the Orthodox Church, because of the majority of population, which are orthodox, and the common development of the institutions of the Orthodox Church and the progressive history of the modern Romanian state forming, from the Middle Age till today. The juridical history of Romania highlights the continuous braiding between the two institutions: that is why the Romanian Orthodox Church maintains a privileged position and the state defenses and promotes its interests.
