Gheorghe Calciu-Dumitreasa (1925–2006) was an anti-atheism dissident who later became a Orthodox priest. He was locked up for 21 years during the Communist regime for his public God confessions and acceptance under the verdict of being an "enemy of the state". He was first imprisoned in 1948, and again in 1978. He was released from prison in part due to pressure from supporters like Ronald Reagan. He spent his freedom years in Virginia, USA.
He was one of the few with unusual temerity left on the face of the Earth: after being kicked out of the Medical school by the Communists, while in prison he opened and closed his and a few friends veins to save a friend that needed a transfusion. Also, after becoming a priest, he had the temerity to commune the lepers in their colony.
Upon arrival to the US he had charitable reconstructive surgery done on his jaws and replacement teeth implanted completely by several charitable friends. He had been beaten so badly that his jaw had been broken a couple of times and healed asymmetrically. As he was sitting having dinner with us you could see that he had no gums as they were probably removed by some malefic form of torture. He seemed so disinterested in food that one could sense he had barely any taste left in his mouth.
Based on this evidence we believe he reached the status of a Martyr of the Church like Maximus the Confessor, Panteilemon the Great or Catherine of Alexandria.
We could see his chain marks as he was yawning although he never displayed it blatantly as he was wearing shirts as after many years they have tapered his wrist bones. Also his nails were clearly removed a few times as they were sloping up and down and of a different thickness from ordinary people. Based on this we think he was beaten in a savage way and his survival was only a miracle.
The relatives of other anti-communists imprisoned with him in Pitesti that refused any form of communication with their captors such as Valeriu Gafencu, Constantin Oprisan, Paul Limberea, Dragoş Hoinic, Cornel Nita, Ionica Pintilie, Gheorghe Andrisan, Paul Bandu, Neculai Popa, Octavian Voinea, Ion Fuică, Constantin Paragină, Niţă Cornel, Gavrilescu Eugen, Poenaru Mihai, Bogdanovici Alexandru, Balanişcu Chirică, Cantemir Vasile, Turtureanu Ion, Iosub Mihai, Mărgărint Ion, Bucur Mircea, Sandovici Nicolae, just very few of whom survived miraculously a few years after release mentioned that a favorite form of torture for the detainees that did not cooperate among them Gheorghe Calciu was breaking their jaw, extracting their teeth and nails out and finally pouring melting hot lead in their mouths. This is consistent with Gheorghe's appearance after release and his testimony to us his US community.
His relics remain at the Petru Voda Monastery in Romania, his interment being accepted by another formerly imprisoned priest, Rev. Justin Parvu.
With him and Victor Runcan, the heavyweight US formation of erudite public speakers with moralizing sermon ends: the others who had passed away before were Vasile Vasilachi, Victorin Ursache, Peter L'Huillier and Leslie J. Newville.
