Destine clericale în spatele unei noi frontiere ecleziastice. Protopopiatul greco-catolic al Tîrgu-Mureşului la începutul secolului XX
Clerical Destinies BehindA New Ecclesiastical Frontier. The Tîrgu Mureş Greek-Catholic Deanery at the Beginning of the 20th Century

Summary/Abstract: The present study is intended to analyze the afterwards situation of the Tîrgu Mureş Greek-Catholic Deanery, once its seat has been moved from the urban atmosphere of the city to a rural background, in Bandul de Câmpie, as a result of the establishment of the Magyar Diocese of Hajdúdorog in 1912. Using for this analysis unpublished documents preserved at the National Archives Mures County Direction, the author tried to select, from a much larger problematic, only those details regarding the hierarchical relations: both of Dean Dionisiu Decei with the Metropolitan center in Blaj, and those of the Dean with the subordinated parishioners/ priests. The difficulties related to the translation of the deanery seat were accompanied by others, much more serious, connected to the break of I World War. Dean Decei, a figure almost forgotten nowadays, proved to be a strong personality, who has tried to preserve an apparent normality, in this way showing his real clerical vocation.
