Orthodox Refuse to Return Catholic Churches

Romania

Using the “majority rules” communist principle, the Romanian Orthodox Church is trying to gain permanent ownership of properties seized from the Greek-Catholic Church by the communist regime in 1948.The Greek-Catholics constitute one of the Eastern Rite Churches in communion with the Pope. Since the 1989 fall of communism in Romania, the Greek-Catholic Church has tried to regain its properties through dialog, but the Orthodox refuses to restitute them. In many cases, the Orthodox Patriarchy is destroying or demolishing these churches, rather than returning them to the Greek-Catholics.
