P\u0102RINTE MICHAEL,\nPUTE\u021aI S\u0102 NE SPUNE\u021aI C\u00c2TE CEVA DESPRE DUMNEAVOASTR\u0102?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-am n\u0103scut \u00een\nDetroit, Michigan. P\u0103rin\u021bii mei au venit \u00een aceast\u0103 \u021bar\u0103 din Transilvania la\n\u00eenceputul anilor 1900. S-au dus ini\u021bial \u00een Pennsylvania, unde s-a n\u0103scut sora\nmea, Julia, apoi s-au mutat la Detroit, unde s-au n\u0103scut fra\u021bii mei. Am fost\nbotezat la biserica Sf\u00e2ntul Ioan Botez\u0103torul. C\u00e2nd aveam 6 ani \u00een 1930,\n\u00eentreaga mea familie s-a mutat \u00eenapoi \u00een Rom\u00e2nia la Vezendiu, S\u0103laj. Tat\u0103l meu\ntrimisese bani fratelui s\u0103u, care ne-a cump\u0103rat propriet\u0103\u021bi. C\u00e2nd aveam 13 ani,\nm-am dus la \u0218coala Normal\u0103 din Oradea – \u0219coala care era legat\u0103 de Seminarul\nGreco-Catolic. Muzica era un curs obligatoriu \u0219i am servit cantor la liturghiile\nseminarului. Am studiat \u0219i vioara, pe care am iubit-o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen 1946, dup\u0103 cel\nde-al doilea r\u0103zboi mondial, fiind cet\u0103\u021bean american, m-am \u00eentors la Detroit,\nunde cei doi fra\u021bi ai mei se \u00eentorseser\u0103 deja. Aveam \u0219i doi unchi acolo. Cur\u00e2nd\ndup\u0103 aceea, m-am \u00eenrolat \u00een armata american\u0103 \u0219i am servit timp de 18 luni. Dup\u0103\nce am p\u0103r\u0103sit armata, am urmat facultatea datorit\u0103 legii cadrelor militare [nr. care oferea \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103m\u00e2nt gratuit<\/em>]. Am\nlucrat la o banc\u0103, unde am cunoscut-o pe so\u021bia mea. Ne-am c\u0103s\u0103torit \u00een anul 1956.\n\u00cen aceast\u0103 perioad\u0103, am stat \u00eentotdeauna aproape de Biserica Catolic\u0103 Rom\u00e2n\u0103,\ndirij\u00e2nd corul \u0219i pred\u00e2nd copiilor catehismul \u0219i limba rom\u00e2n\u0103. \u00cen 1960, familia\nnoastr\u0103 s-a apropiat de biserica catolic\u0103 rom\u00e2n\u0103 \u201eSf\u00e2nta Maria\u201d din Dearborn \u0219i\nam devenit membri acolo. Am devenit dirijorul corului, pentru p\u0103rintele Julius\nAron. P\u0103rintele Aron m-a \u00eencurajat s\u0103 devin diacon pentru a-l ajuta, pentru c\u0103\n\u00eemb\u0103tr\u00e2nea \u0219i avea nevoie de ajutor. A\u0219a c\u0103, am luat cursuri la Seminarul \u201eInima\nSacr\u0103\u201d (en. Sacred Heart Seminary<\/em>)\ndin Detroit \u0219i am fost hirotonit pentru Biserica Bizantin\u0103 de cardinalul\nDearden, care a primit permisiunea de la Roma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen 1986, sora\nmea, Julia, care fusese c\u0103s\u0103torit\u0103 cu un preot catolic bizantin, a venit \u00een SUA\npentru o vizit\u0103. Episcopul Pu\u0219ca\u0219 mi-a spus s\u0103 o \u00eentreb dac\u0103 poate aranja ca un\nepiscop din Rom\u00e2nia s\u0103 m\u0103 hiroteasc\u0103 la preo\u021bie. Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva luni, ne-a scris,\nfolosind un fel de cod pentru a ne spune c\u0103 hirotonia mea era posibil\u0103. \u00cen mai\n1987, eu \u0219i so\u021bia mea am c\u0103l\u0103torit \u00een Rom\u00e2nia \u0219i am fost primi\u021bi cu milostenie\nde c\u0103tre episcopul Alexandru Todea. El m-a hirotonit \u00eentru preo\u021bie \u00een casa lui,\nunde era \u00een arest la domiciliu. Un preot care a asistat la hirotonire a fost\nP\u0103rintele Virgil Bercea, nepotul Episcopului Todea, acum Episcop de Oradea\nMare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ne-am \u00eentors \u00een\nSUA \u0219i i-am telefonat Episcopului Pu\u0219ca\u0219. Mi-a spus s\u0103 nu spun nim\u0103nui p\u00e2n\u0103 la\nConven\u021bia ARCA din iunie, c\u00e2nd urma s\u0103 anun\u021be numirea mea la St. John (Sf. Ioan\nBotez\u0103torul din Detroit \u2013 nt). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUM ERA LA\n\u00ceNCEPUTURILE BISERICII NOASTRE ROM\u00c2NE\u0218TI DIN STATELE UNITE?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parohiile noastre\nerau sub episcopii romano-catolici locali, care i-au cam l\u0103sat singuri.\nEnoria\u0219ii erau credincio\u0219i \u0219i sprijineau parohiile. \u00cen majoritatea ora\u0219elor\noamenii locuiau aproape de biseric\u0103. C\u00e2nd m-am \u00eentors la Detroit \u00een 1946, St.\nJohn era o parohie mare, plin\u0103 de via\u021b\u0103. Biserica era situat\u0103 \u00eentr-o zon\u0103 din\nDetroit, care \u00eemb\u0103tr\u00e2nea, iar parohul, p\u0103rintele George Pop \u0219i enoria\u0219ii au\ndecis s\u0103 se mute \u00eentr-un cartier mai bun al ora\u0219ului, \u00een apropiere de\nperiferie, de suburbii. S-a cump\u0103rat un teren \u0219i s-a construit o biseric\u0103 nou\u0103\n\u0219i o cas\u0103 parohial\u0103. Biserica veche poate fi \u00eenc\u0103 v\u0103zut\u0103 de pe Interstate 75.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUM A\u021bi V\u0102ZUT PAROHIA\n\/ BISERICA EVOLU\u00c2ND \u00ceN TIMP?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parohia s-a\nmic\u0219orat, oamenii s-au mutat \u0219i au \u00eencetat s\u0103 mai vin\u0103; sau veneau doar pentru\n\u00eenmorm\u00e2nt\u0103ri, nun\u021bi sau s\u0103rb\u0103tori majore. Enoria\u0219ii mai \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103 mureau, iar\ngenera\u021biile urm\u0103toare nu au fost la fel de angajate fa\u021b\u0103 de Biserica Catolic\u0103\nRom\u00e2n\u0103 ca p\u0103rin\u021bii lor. Pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce noile genera\u021bii au crescut, multe familii\n\u0219i-au trimis copiii la \u0219colile romano-catolice \u0219i au \u00eenceput s\u0103 participe \u0219i s\u0103\nse al\u0103ture bisericilor romano-catolice. Desigur, mul\u021bi au \u00eencetat s\u0103 mai mearg\u0103\nla biseric\u0103. Am avut \u00eens\u0103 copii \u0219i nepo\u021bi care s-au \u00eentors ca s\u0103 se\nc\u0103s\u0103toreasc\u0103 la St. John pentru c\u0103 bunica \u0219i str\u0103bunica \u0219i-au dorit acest\nlucru. De asemenea, \u00eei mai vedeam la botezul \u0219i miruirea copiilor lor. Apoi mai\naveau s\u0103 vin\u0103 de Pa\u0219ti \u0219i de Cr\u0103ciun sau pentru banchete ocazionale, pentru a primi\nm\u00e2ncarea aceea bun\u0103, rom\u00e2neasc\u0103, pe care \u0219i-o aminteau \u00eenc\u0103 din copil\u0103rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CE ESTE ARCA \u0218I\nCUM A \u00ceNCEPUT TOTUL?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asocia\u021bia Rom\u00e2nilor\nCatolici din America (ARCA) a fost fondat\u0103 ca s\u0103 aduc\u0103 \u00eempreun\u0103 catolicii\nrom\u00e2ni pentru a face lobby cer\u00e2nd drepturile refuzate Bisericii noastre\ncatolice rom\u00e2ne din Rom\u00e2nia \u0219i pentru a ar\u0103ta c\u0103 noi exist\u0103m. Guvernul comunist\ndin Rom\u00e2nia ne-a \u00eenchis bisericile \u0219i a \u00eencercat s\u0103 for\u021beze episcopii no\u0219tri,\npreo\u021bii \u0219i laicii s\u0103 se al\u0103ture Bisericii Ortodoxe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen 1948, am\n\u00eenceput ARCA pentru a atinge scopul de a fi o voce \u00een lume pentru Biserica\nnoastr\u0103. Cred c\u0103 ARCA s-a dezvoltat treptat, preo\u021bii adun\u00e2ndu-se ocazional \u0219i\napoi \u00een mod regulat. La scurt timp, laicii li s-au al\u0103turat, iar organiza\u021bia avea\no conven\u021bie anual\u0103 la una dintre parohii; aceasta includea o \u00eent\u00e2lnire, un dans\n\u0219i un banchet, de obicei \u00een ultimul weekend din iunie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUM A FOST\nC\u0102L\u0102TORIA DE LA \u00ceNFIIN\u021aAREA ARCA \u0218I P\u00c2N\u0102 LA PRIMUL NOSTRU EXARHAT ROM\u00c2N?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De-a lungul\nanilor, ARCA a trimis numeroase peti\u021bii la Roma solicit\u00e2nd propriul nostru\nepiscop. Am vorbit \u0219i cu reprezentan\u021bii politici din aceast\u0103 \u021bar\u0103, solicit\u00e2nd\nrecunoa\u0219terea drepturilor Bisericii noastre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DE CE AU DORIT\nCREDINCIO\u0218II ROM\u00c2NI GRECO-CATOLICI S\u0102 AIB\u0102 O EPARCHIE \/ DIECEZ\u0102 PROPRIE?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Av\u00e2nd propriul\nnostru episcop ar\u0103tam lumii c\u0103 Biserica Greco-Catolic\u0103 Rom\u00e2n\u0103 exist\u0103, chiar\ndac\u0103 ea a fost persecutat\u0103 \u0219i i s-a negat existen\u021ba. Erau unii oameni \u0219i chiar\nc\u00e2\u021biva preo\u021bi care nu erau at\u00e2t de siguri c\u0103 avem nevoie de un episcop. Eu am\nfost pentru, a\u0219a cum au fost majoritatea preo\u021bilor \u0219i oamenilor. Aveam nevoie de\no voce \u0219i o prezen\u021b\u0103 \u00een ierarhiile Bisericii. Cel pu\u021bin unul dintre preo\u021bii\nno\u0219tri s-a dus la Roma cu scopul de a solicita un episcop, dar f\u0103r\u0103 succes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUM A\u021aI DESLU\u0218IT\nVOCA\u021aIA DUMNEAVOASTR\u0102 PREO\u021aEASC\u0102? CE V-A ATRAS \u00ceNSPRE A DEVENI PREOT MAI T\u00c2RZIU\n\u00ceN VIA\u021a\u0102?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am fost mereu\naproape de Biseric\u0103; \u00cemi iubesc Biserica Greco-Catolic\u0103 Rom\u00e2neasc\u0103. Cumnatul\nmeu era preot greco-catolic \u0219i l-am admirat foarte mult. Mi-am petrecut multe\nveri cu el \u0219i cu familia lui \u0219i el a avut o influen\u021b\u0103 mare asupra mea. De-a\nlungul anilor, oamenii au \u00eentrebat de ce nu am devenit preot. Motivul simplu a\nfost acela c\u0103 b\u0103rba\u021bii c\u0103s\u0103tori\u021bi nu puteau fi hirotoni\u021bi \u0219i am spus\n\u00eentotdeauna c\u0103 acest lucru nu se va \u00eent\u00e2mpla pentru mine. Cu toate acestea,\natunci c\u00e2nd a ap\u0103rut oportunitatea, am sim\u021bit c\u0103 e decizia corect\u0103, ca \u0219i cum ar\nfi fost menit s\u0103 fie. Un episcop mi-a cerut s-o fac; preotul meu a spus c\u0103 ar\ntrebui; iar so\u021bia mea m-a sprijinit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUM A\u021aI FOST FORMAT?\nCINE AU FOST MENTORII DUMNEAVOASTR\u0102?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\u0219 spune c\u0103\nmentorii mei au fost \u00een primul r\u00e2nd cumnatul meu, p\u0103rintele Vasile Bosca; \u0219i,\n\u00een al doilea r\u00e2nd, p\u0103rintele Laz\u0103r, care a fost p\u0103storul meu la Vezendiu. Am\nfost influen\u021bat \u0219i de mul\u021bi preo\u021bi pe care i-am cunoscut de-a lungul anilor.\nC\u00e2nd p\u0103rintele Aron mi-a sugerat s\u0103 devin diacon, am frecventat Seminarul\nInimii Sacre, lu\u00e2nd cursuri serale aproximativ cinci ani de zile. C\u00e2nd clasa\nmea era preg\u0103tit\u0103 pentru hirotonire, cardinalul Dearden al Arhiepiscopiei\nDetroitului a fost \u00eentr-o vizit\u0103 la Roma \u0219i a solicitat permisiunea s\u0103 m\u0103\nhirotoneasc\u0103 pentru Biserica Greco-Catolic\u0103 Rom\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUM A\u021aI FOST\nHIROTONIT?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hirotonirea\npropriu-zis\u0103 a fost aranjat\u0103 de nepotul meu, Valentin Bosca. El a c\u0103l\u0103torit la\nReghin, s-a \u00eent\u00e2lnit cu episcopul Todea \u0219i a fost asigurat c\u0103 aceasta poate fi realizat\u0103.\nEpiscopul Todea era un om minunat. Cred c\u0103 el este un sf\u00e2nt care a fost \u00eenchis\nde guvernul comunist timp de aproximativ 16 ani. Ne-a spus c\u0103 munca lui \u00een\n\u00eenchisoare a fost cur\u0103\u021barea toaletelor. El a fost recunosc\u0103tor pentru asta,\npentru c\u0103 acolo a auzit multe m\u0103rturisiri. La liturghie, c\u00e2nd am fost hirotonit\n\u0219i \u00een timpul litaniilor, ne-am rugat \u201epentru persecutorii Bisericii noastre\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\u021aI FOST PRIMUL\nPREOT, CRED, CARE A FOST HIROTONIT (16 MAI, 1987) DUP\u0102 \u00ceNFIIN\u021aAREA EPARHIEI\nROM\u00c2NE\u0218TI \u00ceN SUA (26 MARTIE, 1987). CARE V-A FOST EXPERIEN\u021aA DE DUP\u0102 CREAREA\nEPARHIEI? CE S-A SCHIMBAT? CE A R\u0102MAS LA FEL?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am fost foarte\nferici\u021bi c\u0103 ne-a fost dat propriul nostru Episcop. A fost minunat\u0103\nrecunoa\u0219terea ca entitate a Bisericii (Greco)-Catolice Rom\u00e2ne \u00een cadrul\nBisericii Catolice. \u00cen cele din urm\u0103, am fost recunoscu\u021bi ca parte vital\u0103 a\nBisericii. C\u00e2nd episcopul Pu\u0219ca\u0219 a fost numit ca primul nostru episcop, m-a\nsunat s\u0103-mi spun\u0103 vestea. Nu-mi este ru\u0219ine s\u0103 recunosc, am pl\u00e2ns. C\u00e2nd a venit\nmomentul s\u0103 fie instalat p\u0103rintele Pu\u0219ca\u0219 ca episcop, a ales s\u0103 s\u0103rb\u0103toreasc\u0103\nacest lucru la Sf\u00e2ntul Ioan din Detroit \u0219i mi s-a cerut s\u0103 conduc corul pentru\nliturghie. La vremea aceea, eram \u00eenc\u0103 diacon la Sf. Maria din Dearborn. A fost\nglorios!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BISERICA SF. IOAN\nBOTEZ\u0102TORUL DIN DETROIT A FOST PAROHIA DUMNEAVOASTR\u0102, UNDE A\u021aI FOST NUMIT CA\nPREOT. CARE AR FI C\u00c2TEVA REPERE ALE ACESTOR 17 ANI?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am putut s\u0103 aduc\nsacramentele familiei \u0219i prietenilor mei. Am putut s\u0103 le fiu aproape \u00een timpul\nbolii \u0219i a triste\u021bii. Am celebrat \u00eenmorm\u00e2nt\u0103ri pentru ei, i-am c\u0103s\u0103torit pe\nunii dintre ei, le-am botezat copiii. Am botezat pe doi dintre nepo\u021bii mei. Am\n\u00eenceput un grup de rug\u0103ciuni, care se \u00eent\u00e2lnea s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2nal, \u00een fiecare miercuri,\ntimp de peste 17 ani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desigur, Sf\u00e2ntul\nIoan a fost biserica unde am fost botezat, unde so\u021bia mea \u0219i cu mine ne-am\nc\u0103s\u0103torit, unde trei dintre copiii no\u0219tri au fost boteza\u021bi, a\u0219a c\u0103 a fost\ndestul de emo\u021bionant s\u0103 fiu numit acolo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen perioada \u00een\ncare am fost preot acolo, am putut instala aer condi\u021bionat \u00een biseric\u0103 \u0219i am restaurat\nicoanele din biseric\u0103. A fost nevoie de mai multe s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni pentru a revopsi\ninteriorul bisericii. Am zugr\u0103vit holul subsolului \u0219i am modernizat oarecum\nbuc\u0103t\u0103ria holului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
