DEMOGRAFIA CONFESIONALÃ A ROMÂNILOR DIN COMITATELE SÃLÃJENE ÎN SECOLUL XVIII
The Confessional Demography of the Romanians from the Counties of Sãlaj in the XVIIIth Century

Summary/Abstract: As a result of the unification of a part of the Orthodox people from Transylvania with the Catholic Church, in 1700, the Romanians from Transylvania divide themselves from the confessional point of view in two parts: the first one composed by Orthodox that will further remain tolerated in front of the other confessions from Transylvanian space.The second one is constituted by Greek-catholic, formed by the Romanians who embraced this confession because of promises coming from Habsburgic authorities. Based on the sources that present the confessional census from Transylvania, written during the 18th century, we will present statistical data regarding the confessional demography. In this respect, we present the consequences of the unification with Rome‟s Church in Sãlaj, but furthermore we try to show the way this new confession was performed in this area.
