Summary/Abstract: The present paper discusses the historiographical debates between the secular and the ecclesiastical canons regarding the entanglements between institutionalized traditional religion (mostly the Orthodox Church) and the process of national awakening in 19th century Transylvania. The emergence of a national conscience among the Romanians in Transylvania situated at the periphery of the Habsburg Empire (from 1866, the Austro-Hungarian monarchy) coincides with the stern efforts of Orthodox clergymen such as Metropolitan Andrei Șaguna to re-shape the institution of the Transylvanian Church according to the new political realities following the 1848-1849 Revolution.
