Arhidieceza Romano-Catolică de București între România Mare și Republica Populară Română (1918 -1948). Date statistice
The Roman-Catholic Archdiocese of Bucharest between Greater Romania and the Romanian People's Republic (1918-1948). Statistical Data

Summary/Abstract: This study discusses the changes in the structure of the Roman-Catholic Archdiocese of Bucharest between 1918 and 1948; these changes affected both the religious life and the geographical borders imposed at the end of World War I, as well as the establishment of a new ecclesiastical province with its own bishopdoms – a situation that emerged because of the changes occurring in European states through international treaties. At the end of the Great War, it was imperative for Latin Catholic diocese boundaries to be reconsidered, all the more so since, after the war and the annexation of the historical territories, Greater Romania was born. As a result, parts of the Catholic ecclesiastical provinces which were under the jurisdiction of some archbishops in Hungary were then included in the Kingdom of Romania.
