The institution of military priest in the Bukovina and Romanian Principalities during the second half of the nineteenth century (1850-1878)

Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2010, Vol 16, Issue 2

Abstract

Activity of army priest since 1850 and until 1878, when the independence war ended, was a particularly fruitful. Although at first timid steps have been made in the organization and functioning of the military-religious institutions, over time, have been necessary measures to redress the situation, both by representatives of Orthodox clergy and the representatives of state power. Thus was created the legal framework needed to carry out religious assistance between Romanian soldiers, and they "gifted" administrative units of the army with clergy suited for this task, registering a fruitful collaboration between the Army and the Church to support the national cause. This article captures the work of military priest in this very turbulent period in Romanian history.
