Summary/Abstract: This article describes the efforts that the first king of Romania, Carol I, made to reconcile with the Holy See after he got married, in the year 1869, with Elisabeta de Wied, who was protestant. The fact that the prince Carol got married without the dispensation from the Holy See with a protestant brought a strong tension between the two parts. This conflict would be resolved when the first king of Romania died, in 1914. The article emphasizes the effort that the king Carol made to receive the permission to confess and to take the communion in the Eastertide, but also with the help that he received from the archbishop of Bucharest (Raymund Netzhammer) and from the bishops of Iași: Nicolae Iosif Camilli and Dominic Jaquet.
