Abstract

English The author analyses the individual and collective motives which have pushed some of the Greek-Catholics to join their former Church since 1989. The Romanian Greek-Catholic Church, founded in 1687, was outlawed by the communist party between 1948 and 1989. After it became legal again, the Church tried to reorganize itself. The author analyses such a return, in the light of the notions of conversion, membership and of religious transmission, and proposes to take the factor of the uniqueness of God into account, as it allows to complement the analyses in terms of religious identity and of “religious marketplace”. French L'auteure analyse les motifs à la fois individuels et collectifs qui ont poussé une partie des fidèles gréco-catholiques à rejoindre leur ancienne Église après 1989. L'Église gréco-catholique roumaine, fondée en 1697, a été mise hors-la-loi par le pouvoir communiste entre 1948 et 1989. Après son retour à la légalité, elle a tenté de se réorganiser. L'auteure analyse un tel retour, à la lumière des notions de conversion, d'adhésion et de transmission religieuse, et propose de prendre en compte le facteur de l'unicité de Dieu, qui permet de compléter les analyses en termes d'identité religieuse et de ``supermarché de la foi''.
