Câteva consideraţii privind istoria confesională a românilor din Banatul Sârbesc
Some Considerations about the Confessional History of the Romanians in the Serbian Banat

Summary/Abstract: he history of the confessional life of Romanians in the western part of Banat, which is now an integral part of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, was marked by the dominant role of the orthodox church, present with the population on this territory since the earliest times. Up until the acquisition of the clerical independence in 1864, the Romanian orthodox adherents from this territory were administratively under the authority of the Serbian Orthodox Church. With the creation of the independent Romanian Othodox Church within the Habsburg Monarchy, the Romanian parish from the present Serbian Banat became a part of the Caransebeş and Arad dioceses. In the 19th century, because of the discontent by the behaviour of priests and the state of affairs in the orthodox church, a part of adherents converted to Greek Catholicism, and at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, in the majority of places with Romanian population, Neo-protestant communities emerged.
