An inquiry into the wealth and privileges of the Romanian Orthodox Church, transmitted March 30, 2011, by TVR1, the first channel of the Romanian state television, presented by Cornel Mihalache
The show consisted of a filmed report and commentaries made by the presenter and his four guests:
- Remus Cernea, president of the Romanian Humanist Association;
- Mirela Corlățan, journalist, writing for the "Evenimentul Zilei" daily newspaper;
- Father Alexandru Moțoc, General Church Inspector at the
Romanian Orthodox Patriarchy;
- Sorin Frunză, director of the State Secretariat for Religious Affairs.

Daca 87% din populatie este ortodoxa asta nu implica sub nici o forma ca 87% din contributiile la bugetul statlui vin de la populatia ortodoxa. Majoritatea pupatoare de icoane a enoriasilor BOR nu contribuie nimic la bugetul de stat ba chiar consuma, prin tot felul de subventii si ajutoare sociale primite.

@zapopaul Evident că nu. Cea mai mare parte a contribuțiilor vin de la taxele plătite de „persoane juridice”. („Ce religie are Coșciugul de Aur SRL?”)
Impozitele pe salarii și locuință sunt o felie destul de mică a bugetului. Și nici acolo nu se respectă proporționalitatea asta -- nu scrie niciunde că un anumit procent X% din populație (defalcată după un criteriu arbitrar, indiferent dacă criteriul e religia sau culoarea ochilor) primește exact același procent X% din totalul salariilor.
