He had a Jewish friend growing up, but gleefully adopted the standard Christian anti-Semitism. In 1923, he wrote: \u201cLike all the boys, I\u2019m anti-Semitic out of intellectual conviction and I tremble that the anti-Semitic demonstrations aren\u2019t succeeding.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was proud of Romania as a \u2018Christian nation\u2019 and saw the country having a special duty to affirm this religious identity\u2014and keep the others out. He went to university, and studied Medieval Christian philosophy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
