Summary/Abstract: The Romano-Catholic Church had a well-contoured status in the communist period, which, despite the difficulties set by the govern and the party, wasn’t oppressed or dissolved, but the wealth of the church was nationalized, therefore the financial situation of the priests and subsidiaries was devastating between 1948-1949. At first, Ministry of Church Affairs and Finance begins the inventory of the wealth of episcopates, archpriestships, monastries and subsidiaries, where the whole wealth is under inventory, all the goods of the Romano-Catholic Church. Archpriestships centralize all the inventories of monasteries and parishes being under their influence, centralize all of the completed forms about the wealth of the churches and parishes and send them to the archdiocese from Alba-Iulia, the number one centralizing Institution, where the correctness of these forms is checked.
