- Title
The Issue of the War Victims in the Romanian Ecclesiastical Press of Transylvania (1919 - 1929).

Grancea, Mihaela; Moşneag, Cornel
- Abstract
After the First World War multiple and dramatic social-demographic events affected the population of the World. In Transylvania the Orthodox Church and the Greek-Catholic Church, both traditionally Romanian Churches competed with each other even when dealing with serious problems such as caring for the victims of war. In the pages of their press both Churches addressed the issue of war orphans, war widows and war disabled, trying to emphasize charity and Christian love asking for donations and financial aid for their orphanages, but also criticizing authorities for abuses and asking for better laws. Both Churches proved to be important institutions during the inter-war period for the sheltering and protection of those in need.
