reuters.com/world/europe/romanian-orthodox-church-welcomes-moldovan-priests-wanting-join-2024-04-25/
Quick Glance: Romanian Orthodox Church Embraces Moldovan Priests
- A growing conflict within Moldova's Orthodox community between the churches affiliated with the Russian Orthodox Patriarchate and the Romanian Church reflects the divided opinion among parishioners.
- Over 60 priests have switched from the Moscow-linked church to the Romanian Church since last year, aligning with Moldova's pro-European authorities' goal to join the European Union by 2030.
- The pressure to choose between the two rival churches highlights Moldova's tumultuous history, having been part of the Russian Empire, Soviet Union, and 'Greater Romania' in the past.
- While the Romanian Church continues to welcome Moldovan priests and establish new churches, the Moldova Metropolis has defrocked priests joining the rival church and urges them to return.
