Summary/Abstract: The text highlights a few aspects of how one could have written about the Romanian Church during the communism. Although the Church was publicly confessing an openly assumed teaching or „doctrine”, directly opposed to the State’s philosophy (materialism) and the government atheism as well, the Church also had its own schooling, publishing houses (with a rather symbolical production), art and music, but hardly any of these could pass beyond his closed circle. State authorities strictly censored everything, especially some specific written words, that could have potentially defy the state ideology.
