# Mihai Robu

> Mihai Robu was a Romanian cleric, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Iași in 1925-1944. He was born to Hungarian-speaking Csángó parents in Western Moldavia, but, throughout his life, professed Romanian nationalism and encouraged assimilation. He trained for the priesthood in Iași, at the Roman Catholic Institute, then became noted as a propagandist of his church in the majority-Orthodox country. Robu founded the Catholic publishing enterprise Presa Bună, put out the magazine Lumina Creștinului, and, during World War I, served various Moldavian parishes. His career in interwar Greater Romania was helped along by his 1920 return to Iași, initially as secretary to Bishop Alexandru Cisar.
