The charge of blasphemy against Professor Alexander Cuza. leader of the anti-Semitic movement in Roumania, was formulated by the Greek Orthodox Holy Synod of Roumania.

The Holy Synod charges Professor Cuza with blasphemy and insulting the founder of Christianity. The charges were based on statements which Cuza made in his addresses during the recent election campaign in Roumania. It was reported that at various times he stated that “Jesus was not a Jew. He was only a symbol. At best, he was an apostle. Down with the Jewish Old Testament!”
