Abstract: The present study aims to reveal novel aspects of the involvement of the journalist Sandu Tudor in the press campaigns initiated by Nae Ionescu, the director of “Cuvântul” [The Word] newspaper. The confrontation of ideas between the interwar intellectuality elite and the church’s hierarchy should not be perceived as a hostile relationship. In our opinion those press campaigns should be perceived as an exercise of the maturity of intellectual elite, which aims to engage actively in essential matters to the fulfilment of its mission to outline a pattern of Christian’s behaviour religious of man, both in the public as well as inside the Ecclesia. Articles signed by Sandu Tudor, on this issue, focus on the need to revive the Tradition, the only effective way of preserving intact a nation’s religious life. His theological criticisms regarding any canonical deviations, in general, expressed in register of the journalism, have as a purpose the creation of an authentic conviviality between laity and Church, beyond the rigid and sterile traditionalism.
