The Romanian Orthodox Church is HARDLY the same as the Greek Orthodox Church. For openers, the Romanian Orthodox are united with Rome--that is, they recognize the primacy of the Pope. The Greeks don't.

It is utterly false. Romanian Orthodox Church is in Communion with Greeks and Russians. Is not united with Rome. There are some Uniates in Romania - probably the source of your confusion.

A. Pole is correct on this, ninenot. The Romanian Orthodox Church is in full communion with Antioch, Athens, Constantinople, and Moscow. You must be thinking of some of the Uniate Churches in the area.
