Not really. It is the name used in the official site http://www.bru.ro/ bogdan 10:30, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Orthodox propaganda 

message: Before I set up this section I thought I'd put it up here to discuss it. There are three sources of pressure in the history of this church. 
1. Islam was a problem. 
2. Orthodoxy has proven hostile though it's frankly a very weird relationship. 
3. Catholicism itself is coming out of a period where some pretty severe errors were committed, especially in the US and to a lesser extent the english speaking world. The Vatican recently (1996) issued something of an apology for messing with the Rite, with all E. Rites really starting in 1717 and going on for better than a century and a half. The US was particularly bad with requests for partial or complete suppression of the rite in the US only ceasing around the time of Vatican II. http://www.ewtn.com/library/curia/eastinst.htm

I put up a first stab at a repression section and added an atheist repression section (how could I forget?) to cover communist era repressions.

thread_title: Repression

message: This section needs some clean-up to clarify what is being said.   There are a few sentence fragments, perhaps created by mistakes in punctuation.  Also the article has an instance of inflammatory language ("theological fratricide").
Some dates need to be clarified.  E.g.: The pressure grew with the creation, 17 years after Romania's greek-catholics recreated a full communion with Rome of the Commission for the correction of the liturgical books of the Church of the East.   The reader has to go back to the start of the article to calculate that the year referenced is 1717 (is that the correct year?)
Also: Roman Catholic repression of this Church recently centers in the United States and consists of repeated, and sometimes successful requests for partial or total suppression of the Church's Rite.   Could someone make this more specific by referring to particular actions and dates?    The IMHO lamentable document Cum data fuerit was issued over 75 years ago, in 1929; if this is what is meant by recent, it really is not clear.
Also, please cite published sources that mention these historical events.  Chonak 21:22, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since no one has provided documentation on the "recent" Latin-rite "repression" against the Romanian church in the past two years, I will revise the paragraph accordingly.  Chonak (talk) 03:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: section on Latin Rite Roman Catholic repression

message: On 2006-08-08, anonymous editor 80.235.122.220 changed some dates from "Month Day, Year" format to "Day Month Year" format.   Neither of these is wrong.   However, it would be good to use the more flexible numeric format "YYYY-MM-DD" (in double-brackets, of course), which is displayed according to user-specified preferences.

thread_title: Date format

message: I was going to add a section on the restitution of properties using  and similar as it has a good number of primary sources that is uses but actually we could probably do with a whole separate article on this given the sheer number of properties and the numerous religious groups involved (protestant, catholics, evangelicals and even jewish properties). This note is just a ping so this stays in my watchlists and if anyone has a more recent reference. AFAIK the 2009 Romanian budget increased allocations for church building works and salaries quite dramatically but as the funding is proportional to the churches so who controls the churches controls the funding which makes such an article of significant encyclopaedic worth.

thread_title:  Restitution of properties as a separate article ?. 

message: The churches in Wallachia and Moldova had abandoned Slavonic as a liturgical language by the mid-18th century.  I think that the author may be confusing the abandonment of Slavonic with the adoption of Latin, rather than Romanian Cyrillic, script, which did indeed happen in the 1860's.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.66.132.187 (talk) 16:50, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Date incorrect 

message: Quote: "Since the fall of Communism, Church leaders have claimed that the Romanian Greek-Catholic Community is facing with a cultural and religious wipe-out: the Greek-Catholic churches are allegedly destroyed by the Romanian Orthodox Church representatives, whose actions are supported and accepted by the Romanian authorities."
This is such an untrue statement from the leaders of the Greek-Catholich Church and I consider totally inappropriate to publish it without making public also what the other side has to say. The propaganda they led against the Orthodox Church is never made public: offensing booklets, invading churches in communities where they were a minority while presenting itself as victims. Why then the former Greek-Catholics do not return to their Greek-Catholic belief? Maybe because the Greek-Catholics are nothing else than Orthodox forced to embrace the Catholicism, and which now do not feel the need to return to something foreign to their beliefs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.114.63.54 (talk) 20:50, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inappropriate content 

message: Anonymous user 188.25.31.73 in Bucharest removed these sections on 27 May 2012 without explanation.  I'm not sure that these paragraphs are perfect -- some of the language seems opinionated to me, but deleting them is probably not the best way to improve the article.   Would any knowledgeable readers care to work on this material a little and reincorporate it to the article?  --Chonak (talk) 05:00, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
