The Commission for Declassifying Secret Files says a bishop was an informant for former communist-era secret police. Bishop Pimen, who is the Orthodox Bishop of Suceava, in eastern Romania, has so far refused to make any comment. Romania bishop was "Securitate informant" Two other bishops, Andrei Andreicut and Nicolae Corneanu, were also revealed Tuesday to have collaborated with the once much-feared security police, the Securitate. They have both denied harming anyone by acting as informants. Securitate involvement within the Romanian Orthodox Church is a highly sensitive issue in a country where an estimated 87 per cent of the 21.5 million inhabitants are Orthodox. The Church has enjoyed a revival since communism fell in 1989.
