Alexandru Nemoianu: „Archbishop Valerian D. Trifa and Romanian-American Heritage“

Archbishop Valerian was a personality of numerous talents and a born leader. He had the capacity to understand the problems of his people, the wisdom to resolve them, and the power to sacrifice himself for the good of his flock.
It was given to him to have an eventful life and to spend long periods of time in different parts of the world in diverse nations and cultures. However, he fulfilled the mission of his life among his own people in the New World.
In studying the history of Archbishop Valerian’s life, a parallel between his particular destiny and that of the group of people he descended from should be noticed.

He descended from the “Mori,” the very special and noble branch of the Romanians living in the Western (Apuseni) Mountains of Romania, a group of people that were remarkable for their dignity, courage, steadfastness under adversities and respect for traditions. In the very turbulent history of Romanian Transylvania, a lot of the legendary leaders of the struggle for liberty and human dignity were “Mofi” like Horia, Cloşca and Avram Iancu; and, all of them met an undeserved tragic end. >>>>>
