Summary/Abstract: In this study, a systematic analysis of the legislation adopted by the Romanian state regarding the status of monasticism is carried out, and the regulations adopted by the Romanian Orthodox Church regarding monasticism are also studied. Legislation and regulations are integrated into a broad historical perspective, which allows an understanding of what was wanted from monasticism, by the church and society, in a certain historical period. The reader has the perspective of the evolution of Romanian Orthodox monasticism and can better understand why, in certain contexts, reform projects were proposed.The study of monasticism in the XIX-XX centuries represents an important component of studying the relationship between religion and modernity in the Romanian space.
