This book explores the enforcement of the English Reformation in the heartland of English Ireland during the sixteenth century. Focusing on the diocese of Dublin - the central ecclesiastical unit of ...the Pale - James Murray explains why the various initiatives undertaken by the reforming archbishops of Dublin, and several of the Tudor viceroys, to secure the allegiance of the indigenous community to the established Church ultimately failed. Led by its clergy, the Pale's loyal colonial community ultimately rejected the Reformation and Protestantism because it perceived them to be irreconcilable with its own traditional English culture and medieval Catholic identity. Dr Murray identifies the Marian period, and the opening decade of Elizabeth I's reign, as the crucial times during which this attachment to survivalist Catholicism solidified, and became a sufficiently powerful ideological force to stand against the theological and liturgical innovations advanced by the Protestant reformers.
The Ekaterinburg eparchy has close historical connections with many dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church. One of the most significant episodes of this cooperation was the resettlement of clergy ...from the European part of Russia to the Urals. It took place in the 1830s and was organized by Archbishop Arcadius (Fedorov). Most of the clergymen who changed their place of service at that time came from the Vladimir and Ryazan dioceses. Still, the clergy of the Tambov diocese also occupied a rather visible place in the general mass of immigrants. It should be added that the Tambov clerics repeatedly moved into the territory of the diocese of Ekaterinburg later on. It is interesting that the Russians began to develop Tambov land in the 17th century, which was somewhat later than the Urals. However, the independent Tambov diocese was founded already in 1682 — two centuries before the Ekaterinburg diocese establishment. At present, 67 clerics, monks and devotees of piety who served in the Tambov region belong to the Synaxis of Tambov Saints. Among the Tambovites who carried out their church ministry in the Urals there were many outstanding personalities. These include martyr of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad Archbishop Eusebius (Rozhdestvensky), and priest (later Renovationist archbishop) Nikolay Chizhov, archpriest Roman Novospassky of the St. Catherine cathedral of Ekaterinburg, and teacher of Kamyshlov Religious school Ivan Kuzmich Sakharov, as well as hieromonk Pavel (Muretov), priests Alexander Isakov, Gavriil and Stephan Mikhailov, and also Valentin Nikolsky. On the whole, natives of the Tambov diocese and their descendants have left a distinctive mark in the Urals, and in particular within the territory of the present Ekaterinburg metropolis. For over a century, they firmly established themselves and carried out their church ministry in this region. It should be noted there were those who came here against their will. At the height of the Bolshevik anti-clerical campaign, at the end of the 1930s, the Tambovites were sent into exile to the Urals, and here they faced their martyr’s death. At the same time the names of some of them remain displayed only in the Ivdellag prison register, staying unavailable in open sources. This article, prepared primarily on the basis of documents from the Ural archives and pre-revolutionary publications of the diocesan gazette, is the first work on the topic. It is intended for a wide range of people interested in the history of the Ekaterinburg and Tambov dioceses and the Russian Orthodox Church as a whole.
The study focuses on Bishop Visarion Puiu’s years of exile (August 23rd, 1944 – August 10th, 1964) based on documents from the operational archives of the Romanian Intelligence Service that can be ...browsed at The National Council for the Study of the Intelligence Service, on the bishop’s personal archives from the Romanian Library of Freiburg (Germany), as well as in the archives of the Romanian church which is nowadays known as the Cathedral of the Romanian Metropolitan Orthodox Church of the Central and Southerner Europe.
O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os projetos para reorganizar a província eclesiástica de Cuiabá, enfocando a proposta de extinção da diocese de Corumbá, de 1910, e a fusão dos territórios das ...dioceses de Corumbá e Cáceres, discutidas entre os anos de 1925 e 1927. Nesse contexto, a Santa Sé pretendia expandir o número de circunscrições eclesiásticas, mas as duas propostas estavam na contramão desse processo. Para o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa, utilizo as perspectivas da História Global e da Nova História Política, que contribuíram para uma compreensão mais aprofundada das práticas eclesiásticas, das representações políticas e dos aspectos socioculturais.
Los estrechos vínculos humanos, económicos y culturales tendidos entre ambas vertientes de los Pirineos a lo largo del siglo xii canalizaron la penetración del catarismo en el ámbito catalán, ...alcanzando su máxima expresión en la vertiente meridional de la cordillera durante el primer tercio del siglo xiii. La expansión del catarismo occitano en tierras catalanas se produjo sin grandes dificultades, pese a su limitado alcance, de la mano de unos predicadores itinerantes que no tuvieron mayores problemas en relacionarse con las comunidades locales. La introducción del Tribunal de la Santa Inquisición en la Corona de Aragón y su probada eficacia en la persecución de la herejía incidieron en su rápido retroceso, en paralelo a lo ocurrido en la vertiente norte de los Pirineos. Sin embargo, la organización de la Inquisición por provincias eclesiásticas y la paralela implementación de la frontera estatal pirenaica con el Tratado de Corbeil (1258), perturbaría en cierta medida esta acción inquisitorial y posibilitaría la existencia de un exilio occitano relativamente seguro en la Corona de Aragón, tal como recoge de un modo muy detallado el registro inquisitorial de Jacques Fournier, obispo de Pamiers, de principios del siglo xiv. El presente artículo propone el análisis de los efectos de la consolidación de esta frontera pirenaica en las dinámicas del catarismo a través de la cordillera en los siglos xii, xiii y xiv.
Les étroits liens humains, économiques et culturels entre les deux versants des Pyrénées tout au long du xiie siècle ont canalisé la pénétration du catharisme dans la Catalogne, celle-ci atteignant son expression maximale sur le versant sud de la chaîne pyrénéenne au cours du premier tiers du xiiie siècle. L'expansion du catharisme occitan en terres catalanes s'est faite sans grandes difficultés, malgré son ampleur limitée, à partir de l’action de quelques prédicateurs itinérants qui n'avaient pas de problèmes à se mettre en relation avec les communautés locales. L'introduction du tribunal de la Sainte Inquisition dans la Couronne d'Aragon et son efficacité prouvée dans la persécution de l'hérésie ont contribué à son déclin rapide, parallèlement à ce qui s'est passé sur le versant nord. Cependant, l'organisation de l'Inquisition par provinces ecclésiastiques et la mise en place parallèle d’une frontière pyrénéenne avec le traité de Corbeil (1258), perturbèrent dans une certaine mesure cette action inquisitoriale et permirent l'existence d'un exil occitan relativement sûr dans la Couronne d'Aragon, comme en témoigne de manière très détaillée le dossier inquisitorial de Jacques Fournier, évêque de Pamiers, du début du xive siècle. Cet article propose l'analyse des effets de la consolidation de cette frontière pyrénéenne sur la dynamique du catharisme à travers le massif montagneux aux xiie, xiiie et xive siècles.
The close human, economic, and cultural ties between the two sides of the Pyrenees throughout the 12th century channeled the penetration of Catharism into Catalonia, reaching its maximum expression in the southern Pyrenees during the first third of 13th century. The expansion of Occitan Catharism in Catalan lands occurred without great difficulty, despite its limited scope, through some itinerant preachers who had no major problems relating to local communities. The introduction of the Court of the Holy Inquisition in the Crown of Aragon and its proven effectiveness in the persecution of heresy contributed to its rapid decline, parallel to what happened on the north side of the Pyrenees. However, the organization of the Inquisition by ecclesiastical provinces and the parallel implementation of the Pyrenean state border through the Treaty of Corbeil (1258), disturbed this inquisitorial action to a certain extent and enabled the existence of a relatively safe Occitan exile in the Crown of Aragon, as recorded in a very detailed way in the inquisitorial record of Jacques Fournier, Bishop of Pamiers, in the early 14th century. This article proposes the analysis of the effects of the consolidation of this Pyrenean border on the dynamics of Catharism through the mountain range in the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries.
On 29th November 2020, the first Sunday of Advent, the decree of Bishop Tadeusz Lityński, establishing its own coat of arms for the Diocese of Zielona Góra and Gorzów Wielkopolski, came into force. ...This coat of arms is a new, though historically embedded, sign of the Church in the Middle Odra Region. The article entitled ”The coat of arms of the Diocese of Zielona Góra – Gorzów Wielkopolski as an attribute of historical heritage in the perspective of ecclesiastical heraldry” introduces the circumstances of origin of the coat of arms of the Diocese of Zielona Góra – Gorzów Wielkopolski, as well as describing it and introducing its significance for the local Church in the Middle Odra Region. The text is divided into the following sections: 1. ”The outline of the history of the Catholic Church in the Middle Odra Region”, which takes a closer look at the most important events in the history of the Church in the area under study providing a historical background to the text as a whole; 2. ”Circumstances of the creation of the coat of arms”, which takes a closer look at the process of creating the coat of arms, while point 3. ”The description and significance of the coat of arms” attempts to blazon the coat of arms.
Sydney Anglicans, always ultra-conservative in terms of liturgy, theology and personal morality, have increasingly modelled themselves on sixteenth century English Puritanism. Over the past few ...decades, they have added radical congregationalism to the mix. They have altered church services, challenged church order, and relentlessly opposed all attempts to ordain women as priests, let alone bishops. Muriel Porter unpacks how Australia's largest and, until recently, richest diocese developed its ideological fervour, and explores the impact it is having both in Australia and the Anglican Communion.

The personal baptism of Prince Volodymyr, the baptism of the Kievan people and theconstruction of the Church of the Tithes of the Blessed Virgin were described in Rus ́chronicles and stated the Rus ́ ...baptism at 988. The information about the Christianity spreading to other territories of the Kievan state, in particular to Volyn, in the "Primary Chronicle" was notpresented. The present article deals with the demonstration and critical analyzes of the entire spectrum of known historical evidence that are currently related to the topic of Christianization of Volyn and the beginnings of the Vladimir Diocese.
Niniejszy artykuł powstał w oparciu o XVIII, XIX i XX-wieczne źródła przechowywane w archiwach w Krakowie, Sandomierzu i Radomiu. Analiza uzyskanych danych pozwoliła na wysnucie następujących ...wniosków. Na terenie dekanatu opatowskiego w jedenastu kościołach stwierdzono istnienie dwudziestu dwóch niezachowanych instrumentów. Były to niewielkie organy, od sześciu do dziesięciu głosów, w zdecydowanej większości z jedną klawiaturą ręczną. Wyjątkiem był 24-głosowy instrument w kolegiacie w Opatowie, z dwoma manuałami i pedałem. Niektóre organy wyposażone były w urządzenia dodatkowe – tympan i dzwonki. Wszystkie znajdowały się na chórze muzycznym. Pełniły nie tylko funkcję muzyczną, malowane i zdobione snycersko stanowiły ważny element wystroju świątyń. Znane są nazwiska budowniczych sześciu instrumentów: Jugiewicz, Kiehl, Homan (2), Szrejbert i Kołodziejski.
