There are two books I recommed, 1. Christians in China A.D. 600 to 2000, by Jean-Pierre Charbonnier. Very good if you like christian history, it begins with the Syrian Church of the East (Nestorian) going into China and also a brief union with Rome about 1290-1317 or so.
  1. “The Lost History of Christianity: The Thousand-Year Golden Age of the Church in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia–and How It Died” by Philip Jenkins. I just ordered his one from Amozon used for 18.00 dollars.
Also a Russian council will meet Jan 27-28 to choose a new Patriarch of Russia. I am Catholic but it think it important to pray for this counil.

Dearest Father Deacon Diak,

Thank you for putting it in perspective for me. I don’t have time to do the research right now, but IIRC, one of the pro-union hierarchs during the Council of Florence was from Russia(?).

Humbly,
Marduk

P.S. Forgive me for not properly addressing you sometimes. I only very recently realized you were a Father Deacon.

Cardinal Isidore is who you are thinking of. He was metropolitan of Kyiv I think. I don’t think his decision for re union was very popular in the homeland but I can’t say I know for certain.
 
Isidore was run out of Russia and ended his days in Rome.

This resulted in the principal see of the Russian Church being transferred from Kiev to Moscow.

Also, the Russian Church at this time broke with Constantinople and became de facto (and later de jure) autocephalous.

Some Eastern Catholic Churches were always in active communion with Rome.

Some never denied it, though the distances and conditions of history did not always make communication possible.

Some restored it.

Some returned to it.

However, until Vatican 2, there was a widespread attitude (on both sides) that the Eastern Churches were somehow inferior and the more they resembled the Roman Church in liturgical praxis and discipline, the more Catholic they were.

In other words, the policy was “to Latinize is to Catholicize.”

Eastern Catholic Churches have been working to return to their primitive and original practices.

Why is bpbasilphx suspended?
