Interesting. Were all the unions “covenants of communion”?

I know that the Union of Brest (1596) was a “covenant of communion”. I wonder about the Union of Uzhhorod (1646)…was that a “covenant of communion too”?

The Ruthenian was/is, as well.
The Melkites’ union is, too.

Each came in to the union by treaty, with specific restrictions on the filioque: have to accept the HS’s transmission via the Son, but need not confess it during the creed. Each called to retain their faith.

Ivan - I can’t answer about the Union of Uzhorod since no one seems to be able to find a copy.

Thanks tdgesq for the link. Looks like that document is dated 1652…six years after the Union of Uzhorod. Sounds like the Carpatho-Rusyn Ruthenians just elected Peter as bishop and are looking for confirmation from the Church of Rome, hence the creation of the linked document.

I wonder where the original document of union from 1646 is?

No priest or Bishop signed anything. On April 24, 1646, 63 Carpatho-Rusyn Orthodox priests along with a Galician Basilian monk, Havryil Kosovyts’ki, met with Roman Catholic Bishop Jakusich, Hungarian bishop of Eger, and Count Drugeth at the Uzhorod Castle. The priests swore allegiance to the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. A report was sent to Rome after this meeting. Rome did not acknowledge this meeting or Union until several years later. So their was never a “signed” Unia document, just a verbal profession.
