Why is the relationship between Rome and the Russian Orthodox particularly strained?

Most of the sources I’ve read are not in English. Ukraine a concise encyclopedia is one, but it is, as it would be, biased against the Russian historiography. Fr. Borys Gudziak’s book on the Union of Brest is very academic and good.

There might be online articles on this, but, as always, who writes them is as important as what is being written.

Thanks, Alex! Just recently went on a book-buying spree and exhausted the budget ! Fr. Gudziak’s book is, however, listed on Amazon so I put it on my wish list. Looks to be very interesting and well-written.

Thanks, again.

In Christ,
