Georgije Zubković, a Noble Soul of the Romanian Orthodox in Interwar Hungary. A Romanian Record under the Scrutiny of Historiography and Diplomatic and Ecclesiastical Documents

Summary/Abstract: Between 1920 (Trianon) and 1946 (the year of establishment of the Romanian vicariate in Gyula), 17 Romanian Orthodox parishes located in eastern Hungary lost their connection with the ecclesiastical structures in Romania. Until then, the parishes had been under the jurisdiction of the two dioceses of Arad and Oradea. For the History of the Romanian Orthodox Church in Hungary, the interwar period is identified as a turbulent period, with most priests leaving for Romania. They left, although many of the parishes had a very good financial situation. Under the pressure exerted by the Hungarian authorities, the saviour-figure of Bishop Georgije Zubković emerged, who became the spiritual father of the disorganised Romanian Orthodox believers.
