It is interesting what Clement specifically said about the Romanian Church. I have read his books, but did not come across this text. Maybe someone can share a link to the article?

I haven't read that particular piece by Clément either, but I remember how he wrote about the Romanian Church's quiet strength during the communist years — the monasteries that stayed open and the way they kept the faith alive without making a big show of it. If anyone has a link, I'd be grateful.
