  Abstract:  Any attempt to analyse the anticommunist resistence in Romania would not be proper if the role of the Greek-Catholic Church is not recognised. The end of World War II is followed by another, that of the so called “Cold War” on international level. Stalin had lined a “sanitary barrier” which separated Europe into two worlds. In order to maintain his ideology, the communist regime wanted itself not to be contaminated by any reactionary ideology from the western imperialism. The fact that the United Romanian Church being relate to Rome, would have meant a leak hole crack in the bipolar system, the Soviet Union considering this church unsuitable for his purposes. In fact it is not unique in this respect. The same was the case with the churches form the Eastern Europe. The Greek-Catholic Church was merged by force into the Orthodox Church, but after a preparation, being supervised by the communist Regime wich in his way of action has associated with a part of the orthodox clergy.
