Creștinismul vechi carpatic în preocupările istoriografice ale Părintelui Milan Șesan
Early Carpathian Christianity in the Historiographical Concerns of Father Milan Șesan

Summary/Abstract: The spread of Christianity and the church organisation among Romanians in the intra- and extra-Carpathian space has concerned both Romanian and foreign researchers, often reaching contradictory results. By conducting extensive research, Father Milan Șesan, referring to linguistic and archaeological sources, supports the continuity of the Romanised Daco-Getae on the territory of our country, combating the theory of the desolation of these lands and their subsequent colonisation, documenting the Christianisation of the “Carpathian Vlachs” as he calls the Romanised Dacians, before the Slavs and Hungarians, these migrants even being influenced by the Christian Romanised Dacians in their adherence to Christianity. The present study highlights, on the one hand, the Dacian-Roman continuity in Dacia and the early Christianisation of these lands, and on the other hand, the church organisation with its own bishops, Father Şesan opting for accepting the existence of the Kelținia bishopric on Romanian territory.
