Salary Advances, Loans and Donations Offered by the Greek-Catholic Diocese of Cluj-Gherla between 1940-1945

Summary/Abstract: In the chronological interval considered, the requests for obtaining salary advances, loans and donations were among the most numerous types of documents sent by archpriests, priests, students, or sometimes even by the parishioners, to Bishop Iuliu Hossu. The analysis of these requests is relevant because it reveals a series of administrative, financial and social aspects related to the functioning of the Greek Catholic Diocese of Cluj Gherla. The particularities of each type of application, the motivation used to obtain the money, their method of repayment in case of advances and loans, as well as the interest rate will be exposed. Regarding donations, the involvement of the diocese in helping the belivers with limited material possibilities, the sick and last but not least the orphans will be presented. In addition to offering these donations, the bishop could authorize the organization of collections to help both believers and certain churches under renovation. We tackle also on cases in which, for various reasons, the applications received cannot be approved.
