Summary/Abstract: The study is divided in two separate sections; the first one is a short biography of the Cardinal, that refers to the most important moments of his life and activity. He was born on 30 of January, 1885 and after the ordinary school studies, he was sent to study at De Propaganda Fide College of Rome, becoming a doctor, both in philosophy and theology. His ecclesiastical career is quite complex; he began his activity at the Bishopric of Lugoj, as librarian and archivist and, at the end of his life, he was appointed cardinal by the Pope Paul the IVth. Because of his activity and faith, in 1948 he was arrested by the communist authorities and was imprisoned for 22 years. The cardinal died on 28 of May, 1970 and was burried in Bucharest. The second part is a list of selective references about him, published both in books and serials.
