The National Council For Research Of Securitate Archives [NCRSA] Asked From Romanian Information and from Foreign Information Services The Files

At the request of Romanian Civic Forum, the NCRSA asked the files of all Hierarch of the Orthodox Church and lay electors, members of the Church National Assembly, so to be studied before election of a new Patriarch of Romania.

Until now three Orthodox hierarchs declared that they had past relations with former Securitate: Metropolitan Nicolae of Banat, Archbishop Teodosie of Tomis [no evidence of any report towards Securitate has ever shown] and Bishop Andrei Andreicut [same as for Teodosie no evidence of reporting was given].

The only clear evidence of cooperation with former Securitate is that of Abbot of Stavropoleos Monastery, Iustin Marchis, who was reporting to the Communist Secret Police on the wife of a former Ambassador of Switzerland who visited him while Iustin was young abbot in Cheia Monastery.

Warn by Patriarchate to Published the Documents on former Metropolitan Antonie Cooperation with the Secret Police of Communist Regime Dinescu said:

My statement regarding Archbishop Antonie of Transylvania was based from a story I know from a friend who heard it from his relatives, not from Securitate Archives.

Later on Dinescu came back and said the Patriarchate is full of undercovered inteligence officers. Again he came with no evidence on this matter and the Patriarchate si determined to clarify the statements of Dinescu in court.
