A Book of Transfiguration - Cardinal Iuliu Hossu’s Memoir Revisited in 2018. - The present study focuses on analysing the memoir written by Cardinal Iuliu Hossu in 1961, during his house arrest at the Căldărușani Monastery, and published in 2003, after the fall of the communist regime in Romania. Iuliu Hossu (1885-1970), the Greek-Catholic bishop who in 1918 publicly read the text of the Resolution for the Union between Transylvania and Romania in Alba Iulia is an emblematic figure of Romanian history in the 20th century. During communism, this Greek Catholic clergyman endured a total of twenty-two years of house arrest and detention. My paper analyzes and synthesizes his testamentary memoir, infused by a special liturgical character, where the bishop (eventually cardinal) fully identifies with the living Romanian Greek Catholic Church, despite the persecutions and abuses it underwent at the hands of the communists.
Keywords: Iuliu Hossu, memoir, Gulag, Romania, communism, Greek Catholic Church, testament, resistance, survival.
