Removed Hungarian-only "Further reading" list

[edit]

Removed "Further reading" for now, as all we had were titles in Hungarian. There is a) a lot of material available in English, b) a Hungarian-lang. Wiki for those interested, and c) these are all decades-old books, non-remarkable, with the possible exception of the illustrated book and maybe the church guide. There are lots of various, more recent illustrated books about old & modern Cluj. If there is a special quality unique to A. Fodor's or P. Sas's book, please explain and they can be reintroduced. Maybe there are translated editions by now?

Protestant Era under History

[edit]

The reference to 'Lutheran Protestantism' seems somewhat less offensive, although during it's time as a Lutheran Church, it could as accurately be said to have been just that. The reference to a 'Unitarian party' is more disturbing - it was, for 150 years, a Unitarian Church which was part of a larger Unitarian Protestant Church which stretched through Transylvania and Southern Hungary - and survives in Transylvania and Hungary today. The description of it as 'more radical' betrays a certain bias; one could argue that many participants in first century 'Jesus movements' would have found it the least radical of the the Christian Churches that held the building in the 16th century, but I'd be satisfied if the text showed some awareness that as the history of the building holds particular interest for three Christian denominations and for many other readers as well, it might be best to strive to recount the history in a more objective manner.
