Alexandru Ioan Cuza´s Religious Reforms

Subject(s): History

Keywords: Al.I. Cuza; religious reforms; canon; orthodoxy

Summary/Abstract: Vodă Cuza’s religious reforms, even if they were in the canons limits, they had the effect of engaging the Orthodox Church in an accelerated transforming process, but in a secularizing and a disciplining process as well. In seven years of reign, Vodă Cuza realized in the Orthodox Church what others did not realise in hundreds of years; he had „a great religious policy”, inevitably reforming the church, who was lagging in terms of correlation with the mid XIXth century Romanian society needs.
