The present volume focuses on the relationship with communism of
Romania's most important religious denominations and their attempt
to cope with that difficult past which continues to cast an
important shadow over their present. For the first time ever, this
volume considers both the majority Romanian Orthodox Church and
significant minority denominations such as the Roman and Greek
Catholic Churches, the Reformed Church, the Hungarian Unitarian
Church, and the Pentecostal Christian Denomination. It argues that
no religious group (except the Greek Catholic Church, which was
banned from 1948 until 1989) escaped collaboration with the
communists. After 1989, however, most denominations had little
desire to tackle their tainted past and make a clean start. In
part, this was facilitated by the country's deficient legislation
that did not encourage the pursuit of lustration, which in turn did
not lead to a serious movement of elite renewal in the religious
realm. Instead, a strong process of reproduction of the old elites
and their adaptation to democracy has been the dominant
characteristic of the post-communist period.
