Summary/Abstract: During the Communist regime, the Orthodox theological press was suppressed by 90%, and the journals which survived were subjected to double censorship. The State Institutions dealing with religious censorship were: the Ministry/Department of Cults and the General Directorate for Press and Prints/The Press and Prints Committee. There was also an "internal" censorship, or self-censorship. The censorship of the Orthodox journals considered the following aspects: 1) the text itself; 2) printout; 3) share of paper; 4) printing and broadcast approvals. The Patriarch Justinian Marina (1948-1977) supported the appearance of new magazines (Ortodoxia, Mitropolia Olteniei, Mitropolia Banatului, Mitropolia Moldovei şi Sucevei, Mitropolia Ardealului, Romanian Orthodox Church News) and reprinting of some old church magazines (Studii Teologice). He also supported authors who were forbidden by regime, clergy, theologians and/or lay people to publish articles in church magazines. Among the author bibliologists whose texts were published in the magazine Glasul Bisericii during the years 1955-1989 are: Alexandru Alexianu; Archimandrite Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania; Constantin Emil Bucescu; C. Cioroiu; Priest Gabriel Cocora; Ioana Cristache-Panait; Virgil Molin; Augustin Z. N. Pop; George Potra; Lucian Predescu; Aurelian Sacerdoţeanu; Dan Simonescu. Barbu Theodorescu. They published a number of 110 articles and bibliology studies in the theological journal Glasul Bisericii between 1955-1989.
