  Abstract:  Dynastic Loyalism, Morality and Family Values among Romanians in Transylvania during the First World War. It is known that the two Romanian Churches in Transylvania contributed over time to the loyalty of the Transylvanian Romanians to the House of Habsburg. Maintaining this high loyalty towards the Vienna Court was all the more necessary during the war when the Romanians, together with the other peoples of the Empire, had to prove their attachment to the homeland and to the Throne. The present study analyzes the attitude that the hierarchies of the two Romanian Churches in Transylvania had at the time of the outburst of the war and during its unfolding, with the emphasis on the messages transmitted to the pastors to maintain the enthusiasm of war. It shall not overlook the recommendations of the high prelates regarding the spouses'' fidelity, social morality, the care for widows and war orphans, or the strategies concerning new wartime pastoral that amplified the religious sentiment, causing a rediscovery of perennial Christian values.
