Summary |
In 1946 the 'Lviv Sobor' voted to liquidate the Ukrainian Greco-Catholic Church. The Moscow Patriarchate considers it a 'triumph of Orthodoxy,' while the Catholic Church condemns it as an illegitimate council convened by Soviet authorities. What is the truth? This volume presents the contexts of the 'Lviv Sobor,' its aftermath, and reception from various perspectives. Although there is no common narrative, scholars have concluded that the decisions of the 'Lviv Sobor' were coerced by Soviet authorities, the Russian Orthodox Church was forced to collaborate, and that reconciliation depends on acknowledging these facts in order to move toward reconciliation |
