Résumé
In more than three centuries, only three cardinals coming from the Romanian Greek Catholic Church have been appointed : Iuliu Hossu (in pectore in 1969, public in 1973), Alexandru Todea (1991) and recently (2012) Lucian Mureşan (the current Major Archbishop of The Romanian Church United with Rome). This article focuses on the second half of the nineteenth century, when the specific conditions of Austria-Hungary, as for inside church-state relations as outside relations with the Holy See, leaded to the project of appointing a Romanian Greek Catholic cardinal : Ion Vancea of Buteasa, Bishop of Gherla (1865-1869) and then Archbishop and Metropolitan of Fagaraş and Alba Iulia (1869-1892).
