Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the adoption and impact of the 1925 Statute of the Romanian Orthodox Church, as well as the 1928 Law on Religious Denominations, within the context of Church-State relations in interwar Romania. The study highlights how these legal acts shaped ecclesiastical autonomy, influenced interdenominational relations, and generated debates regarding religious freedom and the role of politics in the confessional sphere. By examining the perspectives of the clergy and prominent contemporary figures, the research brings to the forefront the tensions between tradition and modernization in early 20th-century Romanian society.
