Se armonizează cu tradiţia bisericească cazurile de comuniune euharistică dincolo de hotarele confesionale ...?
Do the church tradition and cases of Eucharist communion inside the European totalitarian prisons harmonize disregarding the confessional limits?

Summary/Abstract: By the documents of 1729 and 1755, the ecclesiastic authorities of both the Latins and the Greeks confessed their own community of faith as the unique sanctifying Church. Whoever stays away therefrom belongs, in the Evangelical sense, with the „lost sheep,” and on the clergy of the sole sanctifying Church rests the full burden of conscience of following them. The complaints against the proselytising activities of both sides, from the 18th to the 20th centuries, convince us that neither the Latins nor the Greeks have lacked such repulsive form of the conscience of duty. When Lenin, Stalin and Hitler wished to set up totalitarian societies in the great European states, the Churches stood in their way. Many priests and faithful were imprisoned in concentration and forced labour camps. We may wonder why these were permitted to Christians only in times of persecution and under the pressure of enemy authorities, but not also when the Lord gives them times of peace.
