Orthodox and Protestant church leaders competed with each other in yielding to Communism. An Orthodox bishop put the hammer and sickle on his robes and asked his priests to no longer call him "Your Grace", but " Comrade Bishop." Priests like Patrascoiu and Rosianu were more direct.They became officers of the secret police. Rapp, deputy bishop of the Lutheran church in Romania, began to teach in the theological seminary that God had given three revelations: one through Moses, one through Jesus, and the third through Stalin, the last superceded the one before.
I attended the Congress of the Baptists in the town of Resita---a congress under the Red flag, where the anthem of the Soviet Union had been sung with every one standing. The president of the Baptists praised Stalin as a great teacher of the Bible and proclaimed that Stalin did nothing but fulfill the commandments of God.!
