  • On a Delicate Mission: Pope John Paul 11 in Ukraine*
    Religion, State & Society, Vol. 29, No. 3, 2001 On a Delicate Mission: Pope John Paul 11 in Ukraine* GERD STRICKER From 23 to 27 June 2001 Pope John Paul 11 made what he described as a pastoral journey and pilgrimage to Ukraine. The Ukrainian president, Leonid Kuchma, who is under intense internal political pressure, had issued an invitation to the pope with the support of the churches in Ukraine which owe allegiance to Rome. Patriarch Aleksi 11 of Moscow and All Russia protested vehemently against the papal visit, claiming that the Catholic Church was involved in 'proselytism' and 'massive mission' on the canonical territory of the Russian Orthodox Church (the former Soviet Union). Despite this, the pope was convinced that his visit to Ukraine would bring an improvement in interreligious relations, in particular in the relations between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. It has to be doubted whether he has succeeded in this delicate mission. Any hopes that Patriarch Aleksi would change his mind at the last minute were dashed: the patriarch took the opportunity to make a well-publicised 'state visit' to Belarus' and the representative of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP), Metropolitan Volodymyr (Sabodan, born 1935) of Kiev and All Ukraine, travelled to the Czech Republic 'for medical reasons', in order to avoid meeting the pope. In the course of his 94 visits abroad, Pope John Paul has previously visited other traditionally Orthodox countries (Georgia and Romania in 1999 and Greece earlier in 2001). As in Ukraine, he was invited by the heads of state, but also by the heads of the Orthodox Churches.

  • Narratives of Ethnic Identity and Language Among Young Pannonian Ruthenians in Serbia
    DOI: 10.11649/a.1983 Marina Sakač, an undergraduate at the University of Belgrade, Article No.: 1983 Serbia, Faculty of Philosophy, Department of Ethnology and Anthropology. Junior Associate at Petnica Science Center, Depart- ment of Anthropology. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6441-3371 nr 14/2019 r. e-mail: [email protected] Marina Sakač Narratives of ethnic identity and language among young Pannonian Ruthenians in Serbia “[…] there is not, there has never been anywhere, any people without narrative; all classes, all human groups, have their stories […]” Roland Barthes Introduction his article offers a study of personal experiences and understandings of Ruthenian ethnic minority identity in Serbia. The narrative approach was selected as the most Tappropriate method to gain insight into its intersubjective perception. The narratives under consideration are viewed as personal story-telling and are presented in the context of the political and social discourse of ethnic identities and minorities in particular. The bilingual upbringing of all Ruthenians in Serbia poses as one of the key factors behind a political position which enabled them to avoid assimilation with the majority. This study can be taken as an example of how minorities (ethnic, linguistic or otherwise) can obtain their rights within nation-states through strategic positioning aiming to withstand the cultural and linguistic hegemony of the majority. The migration of Ruthenians form the region of Transcarpathia in the north-east of the historical Kingdom of Hungary (Kraljevina Ugarska) to the south of the realm, today’s Vojvodina (Srem, Banat, Bačka), Serbia, began in the mid-eighteenth century The study was conducted at the author’s own expense.

  • Mission Society of the Mother of God of Boronyavo Summer 2016
    Mission Society of the Mother of God of Boronyavo Summer 2016 The Icon and Shrine of Boronyavo In this issue, we start a series on the history of the icon and shrine of Boronyavo. Part 1: Our Lady of Boronyavo is not exactly a well-known title among Americans, not even Byzantine Catholics. Our founding meeting was in 1997, which was attended by four visiting semi- narians from the Eparchy of Mukachevo. They were the first ones to study in the United States or do visiting of parishes here, seven years after the Soviet Union imploded. In our dis- cussions, they related the history of this wonder-working icon which was so unfamiliar to us, but which plays an important role in the spiritual life of the Eparchy of Mukachevo. The founding members decided to put the work of the new Mission Society under the protection of Our Lady, doubly appropriate since the eparchy of Phoenix where we are based is dedicated to the Protection of Our Lady. Boronyavo The village of Boronyavo is first mentioned in docu- ments in 1389. While part of the Kingdom of Hungary, itself part of the Austrian empire, this is the Maramoros region of Subcarpathian Rus', a region now split between Ukraine and Boronyavo Mother of God, with crowns sent Romania. It is also famous as the home of the Hutsul Rusyns, by Pope Leo XIII who have their own unique customs and dialect. It lies in the Tisza river valley, home to forests and farms, at the end of the road that winds its way down from the city of Khust.

  • The Romanian Greek-Catholic Church
    Religion, State and Society, Vo!. 23, No. 1, 1995 The Romanian Greek-Catholic Church SERGE KELEHER Historical Background The Romanians are very proud of their Latin heritage and traditions; as the name implies, their language belongs to the 'romance' or neo-Latin family, and some his­ torians have even argued that Romanians are descendants of a Roman garrison stationed in Dacia. However, they received the Christian faith from Constantinople in the Eastern Orthodox form. After Latin, the Slavic languages exercised an important influence on Romanian culture. For centuries the Romanian Orthodox Church conducted divine services in Church Slavonic. Even after adopting vernacular Romanian for use in scripture and liturgy, the Romanians continued to use the Church Slavonic alphabet for ecclesiasti­ cal purposes. One can still find icons with the inscriptions written in Romanian but in Church Slavonic letters, and even as late as the early nineteenth century Orthodox service-books were sometimes printed in vernacular Romanian with Church Slavonic letters. I Philologists often estimate that 80 per cent of the vocabulary of vernacular Romanian consists of words of Latin origin, while the remaining 20 per cent consists of words of Slavic origin. Like everyone else in the region, the Romanians were conquered by the Muslim Turks; but the Romanian princes, the hospodars of Wallachia and Moldavia, suc­ ceeded in retaining some autonomy within the Turkish empire, and thus provided the nucleus of the modern Romanian state. However, a very substantial proportion of the Romanian people lived not in those principalities, but in Transylvania. After the Turks were eventually pushed back towards Anatolia, Transylvania became part of the Habsburg dominions, and was formally incorporated into the Kingdom of Hungary under the 'Dual Monarchy' arrangement of Austria-Hungary in the nine­ teenth century.
