the religious affairs field, he continued to attempt advances on the issue of property retrocession from the Romanian Orthodox Church to the Greek-Catholic Church (which had been shut down in 1948 and had its possessions transferred to the Orthodox Church), and supported building the Romanian People’s Salvation Cathedral in Carol Park. He also, in a step that was not without controversy at the time, admitted Romania's participation in the Holocaust, declaring that Romania has a responsibility toward those killed and their families, to acknowledge what happened, and to protect historic Jewish properties and cemeteries.
