“December ‘89 Revolution through “eyes” of the journal „Mitropolia Ardealului” from Sibiu” (I)

This study deals with the way in which the Revolution of December 1989 was recorded in the pages of the journal “Mitropolia Ardealului”, the official magazine of the Archdiocese of Sibiu, the Archdiocese of Vad, Cluj and Feleac, the Diocese of Alba Iulia and the Diocese of Oradea. Antonie Plămădeală, Metropolitan of Ardeal, was the first romanian hierarch who denounced the communist regime and also acknowledged that it had a double language. We analyzed the evolution of the religious discourse during the period December 1989 - December 1990, from the texts published in “Mitropolia Ardealului”.
