Summary/Abstract: Interwar Romania experienced right-wing extremism that manifested itself against religious pluralism. The present article is based on the unpublished memoirs of a legionnaire exiled in Germany, Vasile Coman, who stands against the neo-Protestant denominations, accusing them of destabilizing Romanian Christianity. Representative of the anti-Semitic legionarism, Coman mistakenly considers neo-Protestant confessions as an effect of the influence of Jewish financiers who want to destroy Christianity, not knowing the true history of the genesis of these confessions and how they reach Romania. Historical evolution has shown that the prophecy of right-wing extremism has not been fulfilled, and neo-Protestant confessions enjoy respect in Romania and develop harmoniously.
