We haveanother church, without ro<strong>of</strong>, which once was a cathedral inhonor <strong>of</strong> St. Margaret.In this country there are six villages by the Danube, where280 <strong>Hungarian</strong> and Rumanian catholic houses arefound and each has his own church, without a priestIn the past - as it was related to us by very old persons, formore than 120 years, our catholics had many churches, like inthe town called Bucharest, Craiova and Arges, but because <strong>of</strong>the hatered <strong>of</strong> the schismatic and orthodox people against thecatholics, and because <strong>of</strong> the wars, the monks had retreated toHungary and Poland. So, with the passing <strong>of</strong> time, theschismatics had taken posession <strong>of</strong> those churches, emptyingthem <strong>of</strong> all goods, even the bells, leaving everything in ruins.<strong>The</strong> catholics from that time, having no priest, followed theGreek schism the bishop was bishop <strong>of</strong> Arges (Argensis) andwhich today is in the hands <strong>of</strong> the schismatic monks. But evenso, there are 30 catholic houses here, without a priest.
