Church

The Romanian Greek Catholic Church, or Romanian Church United with Rome, is a sui iuris Eastern Catholic church in full union with the Catholic Church. It has the rank of a major archiepiscopal church and uses the Byzantine liturgical rite in the Romanian language. It is one of the major archiepiscopal churches of the Catholic Church which are not distinguished with a patriarchal title. Although part of the Catholic Church, the Romanian Government, within its list of officially recognised religious denominations, counts it and the Roman-Rite Church as two separate denominations. Cardinal Lucian Mureșan, Archbishop of Făgăraș and Alba Iulia, served as the head of the Romanian Greek Catholic Church from 1994 until his death in September 2025. On December 16, 2005, as the Romanian Church United with Rome, the Greek Catholic church was elevated to the rank of a major archiepiscopal church by Pope Benedict XVI, with Lucian Mureșan becoming its first major archbishop. Mureşan was made a cardinal at the consistory of February 18, 2012. Besides the Archeparchy of Făgăraș and Alba Iulia, there are five more Greek-Catholic eparchies in Romania (Eparchy of Oradea Mare, Eparchy of Cluj-Gherla, Eparchy of Lugoj, Eparchy of Maramureș, and Eparchy of Saint Basil the Great of Bucharest), as well as one eparchy overseas, the Romanian Catholic Eparchy of St George's in Canton (in Ohio), answerin
