Summary/Abstract: In more than two centururies of this existence inside of the Habsburgic Empire, the Romanian Unit Church, has followed an ascending line. In the moment of the Union (1700 A. C.) the Romanian Unit Church was led by a Bishop, who has just been confirmed as an autonomous entity. Therefore, in the Twentieth century, the Romanian Unit Church in Transylvania, was organised as a mitropolitan county, ruled by a Bishop and escorted by four high prelates. The Greco-Catholics were looked forward to adapt and improve the church's organization to the new territorial situation in Greater Romania. During the interwar period, the Greco-Catholic ecclesiastic institution from Banat had also followed an ascending line. The Church from Banat was ruled by four Bishops, with two vicarages at Timisoara and Hateg, eight archpriestships and around two hundred congregations. There was a beneficial period for the Church, because in 1920 has taken place an assembly, followed by two yearly ordinary synods until in 1948. In all, the church life: literature, education, pilgrimages and activity with laics was beneficial for the Church from Banat during the period from 1920 to 1945.
