A Keresztény Magvető cenzúrája a hetvenes években
Censoring the Keresztény Magvető in the 1970s

Summary/Abstract: Education, culture and public life were always important for the Transylvanian Unitarian Church. The first review of the Church was entitled "Keresztény Magvető”. After 1948 the communist regime prohibited the publication on it. Ceauşescu allowed publishing Keresztény Magvető again in 1971. By this time the churches were totally subordinated to the Office for Church Matters, an institution of the communist party. The Media Directorate-General, established in 1949, and dissolved in 1977, was censoring the review. In 1971 a law was issued saying that it was forbidden to publish any article that could endanger of denigrate the Romanian Communist Party. In fact under any name it was the communist party to censor all papers issued in Romania, including those edited by the churches. Thus the editorial office, the editor-in-chief were controlled by the party. Even the bishop was just a formal leader for the review, imprimatur was coming from the party officials.
