Church Crisis: The Romanian Patriarchate and Moscow Patriarchate on the issue of juristdiction in the Republic of Moldova

After the Holy Synod of Romanian Orthodx Church decided to re-estabilsh the ancient Bishoprics in Bessarabia [nowadays Republic of Moldova] (see below the article on this topic) the Romanian Patriarchate - Russian Patriarchate crisis evolved. The dialogue already scheduled was supposed to be posponed, but later took place in Bulgaria, hosted by Bugarian partiarchate.

It came to no conlclusion, except the fact that the delegation of the Russian Patriarchate was inflexible, not taking into consideration the history before Ribbentrop - Molotov Agreement.

The Romanian Orthodox Church came with nuances and proposals for continuing the dialogue.

It is to be noticed that the President of Romania, Traian Basescu expressed seriously his intention to denounce in the Romanian Parliament the Ribbentrop - Molotov Agreement.

We can not yet say if the re-opening of the ancient Bishoprics in Bessarabia [Republic of Moldova] and the preparation of Romanian Presidency to denounce the Ribbentrop - Molotov Agreement could be seen as a corelation of State and Church Policy regarding the process of healing the Romanian wonds caused of the Imeperialist Fascist and Bolshevic policy towards Romania. We keep searching the topic.
