 From then onwards the condition of the Catholic religion improved.In 1777 part of its territory was split off to form the diocese of Satu Mare, with which it was reunited in 1930, only to see it reconstituted in 1941 and again suppressed in 1948.The diocese was established within its present boundaries, drawn by Ceauscescu's Communist regime, on 18 October 1982, again without the reconstituted Satu Mare.
