Abstract

October - The Richest Month: Priest Dr. Nicolae Lupu, the confessor of the “Annunciation” Monastery in Edera-Moreni, in the attention of the Regional Directorate of Security Ploiești and the Moreni Security Office. Planning to outlaw the Romanian Church United with Rome, Greek-Catholic and to take over the properties belonging to this Church, the Communist Party of Romania and the Secret Service of this party, called at that time “People’s Security”, came to gather information about the Greek-Catholic priest Nicolae Lupu, who was active as a confessor at the Annunciation Monastery in the area of Moreni - a locality situated today in Dâmbovița County, but in the period 1948-1949 was in Prahova County. By presenting some orders of the Securitate from the Regional Directorate to the local Securitate Office and reports from the local Office to the Regional Directorate of “People’s Security”, we glean the characterizations made of priest Nicolae Lupu, considered opposed to the plans of the communist regime and faithful to the Church of Rome. Without presenting the priest’s activity prior to 1948-1949, highlighted as a university professor at the Greek-Catholic theology faculty in Blaj, and lacking documentation subsequent to the moment when he was evacuated from the monastery building in Moreni, along with all the nuns of this monastery - in my article I will try to present the perspective of the “People’s Security” organs towards the person of this cleric and towards his activity.
