Summary/Abstract: Following the training of Romanian intellectuals to guide the Romanian culture, as well as the national struggle - political for the emancipation of their nation, the two Romanian Churches in Transylvania - Orthodox and United - sponsored both "folk" (elementary) and middle (high school) schools. The greatest achievements achieved by the Romanian Church in Transylvania, in the 19th century, were in the field of education and culture development in general, especially through the regeneration of the Romanian village school and the new spirit of the country's priests. The church, through its hierarchies and believers, has made every effort to obtain what it considers to belong to its nation, being receptive to the spirit of the time and convinced that its people could not achieve their political aspirations by despising the order of government since then, but at the same time he recognized the intensity of his national sentiment and endeavored to satisfy him in a manner appropriate to the time.
