Summary/Abstract: The Involvement of the Romanian Orthodox Church in the Social – National Problems. General Aspects. The author presents some general aspects related to the involvement of the Romanian Orthodox clergy in the life of the community, the priest becoming for his believers a model of morality. Due to the historical difficult circumstances, the clergymen were obliged to earn their existence through their own efforts, together with their faithful, but they also had to work as: carpenters, shoemakers, blacksmiths, church and monastery painters, manuscript copyists etc. When the difficulties imposed by the state authorities of the time could not be bared any more, they began to fight together with their believers and some of them died for social justice and national freedom.
