Known since the 1990s as Movement for Spiritual Integration into the Absolute (MISA), Gregorian Bivolaru’s movement has a history of four decades of conflict with Romanian society, represented by the police and courts as well as the media, which have given a lot of attention to apostates and anti-cult activists. In the perspective of new religions studies, the conflict seems to be a typical case, albeit an exceptionally severe one.
