Studia Humanitatis No. II (XXII) / 2026
Bishop Atanasie Mironescu (1898-1909)
Rev. Dr. Laurențiu Rădoi Metropolitan Atanasie Mironescu, elected Primate in February 1909 by an almost unanimous vote, carried out intensive pastoral, synodal and scholarly work at the head of the Metropolis of Ungrovlahia, characterised by pastoral letters, circulars, speeches and canonical visits. His ministry was overshadowed by a synodal trial initiated by Bishop Gherasim Safirin of Roman, which concluded in June 1911 with his unanimous acquittal, followed by his resignation and retirement to Cernica Monastery, where he continued to publish until his death in 1931.
