religion by Greek Catholics has been ensured since 1744, a separate bill will be drafted on the Orthodox. Since each Transylvanian denomination maintains its own clergy, the same must be done for the two Romanian denominations. The main reason for the ineptitude of the Romanian people is the backwardness of their own priests, to change this, the church commission is preparing a proposal for the next national assembly. As such, the status of the Romanians remained the same. Several such petitions were issued in the following decades, and they all met with the same reaction. Another major petition, the Transylvanian Memorandum, was drafted a century later (in 1892, following the new circumstances after the 1848 Revolution and the Ausgleich), but its authors were sent to prison for treason.
