He imposed the traditionalism with strong orthodoxy accents in his writings, the new doctrine, “gandirismul”. The themes, the motives, the metaphors and the biblical symbols in his poems are Christian and the processed universe as well: the relationship human-being – God, the Jesus Christ’s divine-human Person, Mother Theresa, the patriarchal state, biblical plough-men, biblical moments and scenes, religious feeling.
