The communist period impacted upon the historical evolution of the Romanian Orthodox Church relationship with the Romanian state in a way that today cannot be imagined. After the end of the Second World War hostilities, Romania entered the communist coalition. Under this political regime, the Romanian Orthodox Church served the Romanian people, no matter the historical vicissitudes. The Orthodox Church was the subject of a repressive treatment, revealed through the political purification of the clergy, the nationalization (secularization) of its proprieties, the destruction of many Orthodox monasteries etc. In this paper I will try to present the Orthodox point of view about the economic challenges faced by the Romanian Orthodox Church during the time of Patriarch Justinian. Thus I will put forward and clarify some historians’ positions (Olivier Gillet, Lavinia Stan, Lucian Turcescu, etc.) about the Romanian Orthodox Church actions, especially that of Patriarch Justinian Marina, during this regime.
