Tensions between metropolitans and bishops reflected dissatisfaction among parish clergy and laypeople as well, which in some cases resulted in the formation of new religious movements. As a society experiencing extraordinary social and political upheavals, including new borders, a nationalizing state, industrialization, new communication and transportation networks and new political ideologies, inter-war Romania was a fecund environment for religious innovation. With monasticism in decline and ever higher expectations being placed on both priests and laypeople, two of the most significant new religious movements of the period emerged in regions where monasticism and the monastic approach to spirituality had been strongest. The first, Inochentism, began in Bessarabia just before the First World War. Its apocalyptic belief that the end times were near included a strong criticism of the Church and the state, a critique that transferred smoothly onto the Romanian state and Orthodox Church once the region became part of Greater Romania.

    An Old Believer ―Holy Moscow‖ in Imperial Russia: Community and Identity in the History of the Rogozhskoe Cemetery Old Believers, 1771 - 1917 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Doctoral Degree of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Peter Thomas De Simone, B.A., M.A Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Nicholas Breyfogle, Advisor David Hoffmann Robin Judd Predrag Matejic Copyright by Peter T. De Simone 2012 Abstract In the mid-seventeenth century Nikon, Patriarch of Moscow, introduced a number of reforms to bring the Russian Orthodox Church into ritualistic and liturgical conformity with the Greek Orthodox Church. However, Nikon‘s reforms met staunch resistance from a number of clergy, led by figures such as the archpriest Avvakum and Bishop Pavel of Kolomna, as well as large portions of the general Russian population. Nikon‘s critics rejected the reforms on two key principles: that conformity with the Greek Church corrupted Russian Orthodoxy‘s spiritual purity and negated Russia‘s historical and Christian destiny as the Third Rome – the final capital of all Christendom before the End Times. Developed in the early sixteenth century, what became the Third Rome Doctrine proclaimed that Muscovite Russia inherited the political and spiritual legacy of the Roman Empire as passed from Constantinople. In the mind of Nikon‘s critics, the Doctrine proclaimed that Constantinople fell in 1453 due to God‘s displeasure with the Greeks. Therefore, to Nikon‘s critics introducing Greek rituals and liturgical reform was to invite the same heresies that led to the Greeks‘ downfall.

  • Géraud De Veyrines, Bishop of Paphos, and the Defense of the Kingdom of Armenia in the 1320S
    perspektywy kultury / The Mediterranean Sea—The Center of the World or the Periphery? perspectives on culture No. 30 (3/2020) Christopher David Schabel http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5508-6516 University of Cyprus [email protected] DOI: 10.35765/pk.2020.3003.07 Géraud de Veyrines, Bishop of Paphos, and the Defense of the Kingdom of Armenia in the 1320s ABSTRACT The activities of Géraud de Veyrines, papal nuncio and then bishop of Paphos in the 1320s, have been known since 1962, when Jean Richard published Instru- menta Miscellanea in the Vatican Archives on the accounts of his financial deal- ings as nuncio on Cyprus. These accounts concern his handling of a large fund of 30,000 gold florins for the defense of the Kingdom of Armenia in Cilicia, the raising of clerical tithes and taxes on Cyprus in support of the Kingdoms of Cyprus and Armenia, the legacy of Patriarch Pierre of Jerusalem, and the debts and property of Géraud’s predecessor as bishop of Paphos, Aimery de Nabi naud. This article publishes the remaining Instrumenta Miscellanea per- taining to these accounts—number 1086 and the unpublished portion of num- ber 1045—and updates the history of the Armenian fund in papal letters, many of which Professor Richard only discovered later, while compiling the third vol- ume of the Bullarium Cyprium, published a half-century later, in 2012. 1 KEYWORDS: Armenia, Cyprus, papacy, Crusades, Géraud de Veyrines STRESZCZENIE Géraud de Veyrines, biskup Pafos i obrona Królestwa Armenii w 1320 Pierwsze wzmianki o działalności Gérauda de Veyrinesa, nuncjusza papie- skiego, a następnie biskupa Pafos w latach dwudziestych XIV wieku, pojawiły się w 1962 roku, kiedy Jean Richard opublikował w Archiwach Watykańskich kursywa: Instrumenta miscellanea – zapis swoich transakcji finansowych jako 1 Generally the papal letters are only accessible in often inadequate and sometimes inaccurate summaries.

Reports in this series will firstly seek to provide a factual digest of news reports or other published information on the subject under discussion. They will also include a brief conclusion – which will contain the element of evaluation. Structure of following information. Basic information regarding the situation of Christians in Iraq Precis of major article in The Tablet March 15 2003 Information from Iraqi diaspora sources Information based on comment/direct news etc of Christians in Iraq/Middle East Possible difficulties relating to Western Christian Conclusions There is both a substantial – and also historic – Christian community in Iraq. A reasonable estimate seems to be perhaps 750,000 out of a total population of approximately 24 million. There are also considerable numbers of Christians of Iraqi origin living outside the country (in some cases for generations). Detroit,in the US, is a particular base. What is the attitude of the Iraqi Christian community to the war and what does the future hold for them? They have received a reasonable amount of attention in the news media in recent weeks – and the following comments are based on that as well as an extended conversation with a senior Christian Iraqi currently resident in the United Kingdom. Basic information regarding the situation of Christians in Iraq (drawn from published information, and conversations) The ‘core community’ of Iraqi Christians are the Chaldean Catholics. (? 500,000). The spiritual ancestors of this community were members of the ancient Church of the East (who did not accept the Council of Ephesus and were then designated as ‘Nestorians’).

CIRYL AND METHODIUS AND THE BULGARIAN ALPHABET By rescuing the creation of Cyril and Methodius, Bulgaria has earned the admiration and respect of not only the Slav peoples but of all other peoples in the world and these attitudes will not cease till mankind keeps implying real meaning in notions like progress, culture “and humanity. Bulgaria has not only saved the great creation of Cyril and Methodius from complete obliteration but within its territories it also developed, enriched and perfected this priceless heritage (...) Bulgaria became a living hearth of vigorous cultural activity while, back then, many other people were enslaved by ignorance and obscurity (…) Тhe language “ of this first hayday of Slavonic literature and culture was not other but Old Bulgarian.

In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge."

The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the worid. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where tfie manuscripts are given substantive review.
