In 1821, during the Greek War of Independence, Gregory IV faced immense pressure. Despite his own Greek heritage, he refused to endorse the uprising, fearing it would bring devastation to Țara Românească. When the revolutionaries, led by Tudor Vladimirescu, entered Bucharest, Gregory tried to mediate, seeking to maintain peace and protect his flock. Ultimately, his efforts couldn't prevent the turmoil, and he was forced to navigate a treacherous political landscape, striving to preserve the Church's stability amidst the chaos. Let us pray that his wisdom and courage guide our leaders today.
