My paper introduces the Roman Catholic Church's opposition and action routed in their political insights against the intentions of the romanian state aimed to detach the Catholic Church in Romania from Rome and organise a people's Catholic Church. Endre Ágotha dean and parish priest of Nyárádselye has played an important role in the preparation of the schism, whom the Holy See excommunicated by excommunicatus vitandus for his work in the peace movement called Actio Catholica or "Catholic Action". Through examining the life and work of Endre Ágotha I'm aiming to uncover the circumstances and motives of the creation of peace movement and it's participating priests despite the explicit measures taken by the catholic clergy at Alba Iulia.
