17 Years of Mediatic Bombs on Clergy - Securitate Collaboration, But Only One Palpable Document
Another mediatic bomb on Church - Securitate relationships was launched yestarday by Mircea Dinescu a member of National College for Studying the Securitate Archives. Since 17 years Mircea Dinescu is speaking to the media and is writing or talking in TV Shows on this issue, but he was not able to come with more than one document on clergy effecive collaboratian with the former political police of the Communiste regime [the only documents he was able to show were the files of Iusin Marchis, former abbot of Cheia Monastery, actual abbot of Stavropoleos Monastery in Bucharest, reporting on Sitzerland Ambassador's Wife.
Yet, Dinescu keeps talking. Yestarday he said that the former Metropolitan of Sibiu, Archbishop Antonie asked Ceausescu to rise him to the rank of General of Securitate.

Member of Health Commission of Chamber of Deputies said: Either Ministry of Health Should Complain to the General Prosecutor [GP] or the GP Should Act
On 6th of August, MP Sorin Paveliu declared in an interview given to BBC that either Ministry of Health should complain to the General Prosecutor [GP] or the GP should act in his own right.
The law is clear. It can not be claimed that the Patriarch was informed and gave his consent unless there is a document signed by him, and that is according to the law. In short, any medical intervention without IFORMED CONSENT is illegal, no mater how old was the pacient or how many are claiming that the Patriarch was was informed verbally.
On the same line, the corp handeling after death was done also with many infringements of the legislation, subject to one to three years conviction in prison. There is no hospital exit documentation, no family member or legally entrusted person was called to sign the exit procedure, no trace and documentation on embalming procedure or information regarding the place where the embalming was done, if it was done in the hospital or at the Patriarchate [given the fact that after three hours of death acertain (17:00) the Patriarch corp exit the hospital and at 9:00 was brought to the Patriarchal Cathedral]. According to this timing, it means that the legal regulations on time between death and embalment was not respected at all if it was done in the hospital. If it was done after the hospital it was done also without documentation procedure, there is no identity on the embalment service provider and if it was authorized or not for embalming procedure. The embalming substance is not known also if it was done with or without presevation of organs.
Shortly speaking MP Sorin Paveliu, who is a Medical Doctor by profession, stress to BBC that the Prosecutors should act.
