Popescu was one of the most emblematic fi gures within the Romanian Orthodox Church and within the Theological section of the University of Bucharest in the fi rst half of the XX century. Raised in the Orthodox spirit, Niculae M. Popescu studied in the Theological School “Nifon Mitropolitul” and in the Faculty of Theology in Bucharest, while his PhD studies were completed in Vienna. Because of his critical and rigorous spirit, but also due to his high level theological qualifi cations, he became distinguishable to the clerical authorities in Bucharest who gave him the title of main editor of a few magazines of the Church. He was highly appreciated for his historical and documentative nature refl ected in his studies and researches. For this reason, the teaching body of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Bucharest named him University Professor of the History Section. He was praised and appreciated by scholar Nicolae Iorga and thus, became a member of the Romanian Academy and vice-president of the highest academic forum in Romania. Alongside his pastoral and universitary vocations, he was also an accomplished musician. Niculae M. Popescu elaborated his fi rst creations of Romanian musicology dedicated to the Romanian precentor, Macarie Ieromonahul. Due to his bass vocal tone, composer D.

  • The Romanian Orthodox Church in Moldavia and Wallachia 51 Subordination De L'eglise Envers L'etat, Conformément Au Modèle Existant a Cette Époque-Là En Russie
    ROMANIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH IN MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA IN THE TIME OF THE ORGANIC REGULATIONS (1831-1832), BETWEEN RELIGIOUS TRADITIONALISM AND POLITICAL MODERNIZATION Radu Gabriel Ichim Ştefan cel Mare University of Suceava [email protected] Rezumat: Biserica Ortodoxă Română din Moldova și Valahia în vremea Regulamentelor Organice (1831-1832), între tradiţionalismul religios şi modernizarea politică În cadrul Bisericii Ortodoxe Române se produsese la sfârșitul secolului XVIII și începutul secolului XIX o separaţie între adepţii „tradiţiei” ortodoxe şi cei atraşi de modernizarea social-politică de tip vest-european. Clericii din prima categorie rămâneau ataşaţi ideii de „naţiune ortodoxă” (de naţio, categorie social-naţională privilegiată, în sens medieval), dorind restaurarea Imperiului Bizantin. Cea de-a doua categorie de clerici era constituită din adepţii – la nivel politico-social, nu religios – modelului vest-european, militând pentru constituirea mai multor state balcanice, fondate pe idealuri democratice şi pe respectul drepturilor cetăţeanului, încă inexistente în acea parte a Europei. Acești clerici conştientizau faptul că dobândirea libertăţii naţionale pentru Moldova și Valahia nu era posibilă decât prin adoptarea treptată a culturii politice şi sociale occidentale, dublată de lupta armată a popoarelor aservite puterii otomane. Adepţii modelului politico-social vest-european au avut câștig de cauză odată cu introducerea în Valahia (iulie 1831) și Moldova (ianuarie 1832), sub influenţa Rusiei, a primelor Constituţii de tip modern – Regulamentele Organice. Articolul analizează modernizarea instituţională a Bisericii Ortodoxe din Moldova și Valahia sub influenţa Regulamentelor Organice: controlul autorităţii statale asupra Bisericii, stipularea prin lege a atribuţiilor clericilor, măsuri de protecţie a edificiilor religioase, salarizarea unor categorii de clerici, crearea instituţiei preoţilor militari.

  • Laurentiu Nicolae Stamatin
    ROMANIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH IN THE FIRST DECADES OF CAROL I’S REIGN (1866-1885) Laurenţiu Nicolae Stamatin «Ştefan cel Mare» University Suceava, Roumanie [email protected] Rezumat: Perioada de început a domniei lui Carol I (1866-1885) a reprezentat, din punct de vedere al vieţii bisericeşti, un lung şir de demersuri pentru normalizarea relaţiilor interne între membrii înaltului cler, între aceştia şi Patriarhia de Constantinopol, precum şi între puterea politică şi ierarhie. Un moment cheie al acestei perioade l-a constituit elaborarea Legii Organice a Bisericii Ortodoxe Române din 1872, care a însemnat de fapt baza legală a obţinerii autocefaliei bisericeşti, recunoscută formal de patriarhul ecumenic în anul 1885. Articolul de faţă surprinde efortul substanţial depus de clerul ortodox pentru adoptarea legislaţiei sus amintite, evoluţia relaţiilor cu Patriarhia de Constantinopol, precum şi disputele pe aceeaşi temă cu autorităţile civile. Toate aceste acţiuni au fost încununate prin primirea, la 25 aprilie 1885, a Tomosului de recunoaştere a autocefaliei Bisericii Ortodoxe Române. Era rezultatul a două secole anterioare de luptă şi afirmare susţinută a dreptului la „autoguvernare” bisericească, în plan jurisdicţional şi administrativ. Summary: The early reign of Carol I (1866-1885) was, in terms of church life, a long series of steps to normalize relations between the internal high clergy members, between these and the Patriarchate of Constantinople and between the political power and the hierarchy. A key moment of this period was the development the Organic Law of the Romanian Orthodox Church, in 1872, which actually meant the legal basis of the church autocephaly, formally recognized by the ecumenical patriarch in 1885.
