Biografii ale lui Benedict Ghiuș în dosarele securității: narațiuni din fișe biografice și note informative

The paper reconstructs the biography of archimandrite Benedict Ghiuș (1902-1990), former vicar at the Romanian Patriarchy, a close collaborator of patriarch Justinian Marina, and important member of the mystic-theological circle known as “The Burning Bush”, while corroborating relevant data from the files of the Securitate. At the same time, the paper also compares several chronologically different documents that contain the biographic information of Ghiuș and discusses the relation between various types of documents (such as records or informative notes) and the differences in the narratives they deliver.
