The inter-orthodox debates on “diaspora” and the Romanian Orthodox Church’s decision to reorganize its ecclesiastical structures in France and Italy after 1990
Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2013, Vol 19, Issue 2
Abstract
Using the method of discourse analysis, this paper intends to illustrate the manner in which the context represented by the inter-orthodox relations had a certain role in the Romanian Orthodox Church’s decision to (re)organize its ecclesiastical structures abroad after 1990.Using as case studies the contexts of France and Italy, the hypothesis this study uses is that without being the only explanation for the Romanian Orthodox Church’s decision to (re)organize its institutional infrastructure, the concurrence of the other Orthodox Churches over the jurisdiction of the Romanian orthodox communities had a stimulating role.
