Protopopiatul greco-catolic Băsești: Organizare și evoluție politică (1856-1930)
The Greek-Catholic Deanery of Băsești: Organization and Political Evolution (1856-1930)

Summary/Abstract: In the present study we tried to make a general presentation of the Greek Catholic Archpriest of Băsești in the period 1856–1930 when it was under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Gherla. The foundation of this ecclesiastical institution of the Romanians from the Codrului area coincides with the moment of the Union of a part of the Romanian believers from Transylvania with the church of Rome. In the first part of the material we followed the historical and organizational evolution of the Băsești archpriest, and in the second part we presented some aspects of the life and activity of the archpriests who led the destinies of this ecclesiastical structure. We highlighted data on the structure of the archpriest between 1867–1930, respectively the evolution of the number of believers at the level of archpriest, parish or branch, then data on the number of parishes, branches, churches and priests, according to their administrative functions. had, respectively parish priests, administrators, cooperators or chaplains, but also data on the number of schoolchildren. Thus, from the analysis it is observed that, for the time interval 1867–1930, the number of parishes remained the same (ie 14), of the 4 branches, and at the head of the Băsești district were the archpriests Grigore Pop, Alexiu Varna and Alexandru Achim, whose we prepared short biographical portraits, in which we captured the origin, education and coordinates of their professional career.
