The monk <strong>Philotheus of Pskov<\/strong> informed the Muscovite <strong>Tsar Basil III<\/strong> (<em>1505-1533<\/em>) of his vision based on the book of <strong>Daniel<\/strong> that the Russian tsardom was to be the final earthly reign of God\u2019s People. The first Rome had fallen through heresy. The second Rome, Constantinople, had fallen through sin. The third Rome, Moscow, was standing.

He was crowned tsar in 1547 as the successor to the Byzantine emperor. He ruthlessly persecuted his enemies as he subjected both church and state to his personal control. Among Ivan\u2019s many victims was <strong>Metropolitan Philip of Moscow<\/strong>. He was strangled by the tsar\u2019s henchmen in 1568 for his open opposition to the actions of the mad ruler. Philip has since been canonized by the Church as a saint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In 1547-1549 the Church of Russia formally canonized many saints from different parts of the country, utilizing the national veneration of these holy people &#8211; who were previously honored only locally &#8211; as a means toward national unification. In 1551, the <strong>Council of a Hundred Chapters<\/strong> &#8211; the <strong>Stoglav Sobor<\/strong> &#8211; further asserted the supremacy of Russian Orthodoxy over the other Eastern Orthodox churches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After the Russian defeat of the Turks in Kazan in 1551, Ivan built the famous <strong>Church of St. Basil<\/strong> in the Moscow kremlin in honor of St Basil, the Mosocw fool for Christ (<em>d.1552<\/em>). This church building is known for its combination of Christian and Oriental styles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During the early part of Ivan\u2019s reign his spiritual father was the priest Sylvester. Many of Ivan\u2019s early reforms were guided by this simple pastor. <strong>Sylvester<\/strong> was the main contributor to a book called <strong>Domostroi<\/strong> or Home-builder which taught Russian Christian families how they should arrange their lives according to the ritual and ethical practices of the Orthodox Church. The <strong>Domostroi<\/strong> was a very popular book which influenced generations of Russian families. Ivan exiled Sylvester in 1559.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Also during Ivan the Terrible\u2019s reign, <strong>Metropolitan Makarii of Moscow<\/strong> (<em>1542-1563<\/em>) wrote twelve volumes called <strong>Monthly Readings<\/strong>. It was a vast collection of commentaries on the Bible, the lives of the saints, sermons, and other material for spiritual reading. At this time, the \u201cnon-possessor\u201d <strong>Saint Maxim the Greek<\/strong> (<em>d.1556<\/em>) was imprisoned and tortured for his attempts to revise and correct the liturgical books of the Russian Church. <strong>Saint Gury<\/strong> (<em>d.1563<\/em>), the bishop of Kazan, was carrying on his mission among the Siberian tribes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Russia during the Reign of Theodore<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During the reign of Ivan\u2019s son, <strong>Theodore<\/strong>, the Patriarch of Constantinople, <strong>Jeremiah II<\/strong>, came to Moscow in quest of aid. The patriarchal church of Constantinople was under the power of the Turks. So, under the obvious pressures of that situation, the patriarch recognized the Muscovite bishop, <strong>Job<\/strong>, as the first <strong>Patriarch of All Russia<\/strong> in 1589. The installation document of the new patriarch was almost a repetition of the prophesy of Philotheus about Moscow as the third Rome. Thus the theory, which had become practice under Ivan III, was now officially affirmed by the highest prelate in the Orthodox Church. In 1593 the Russian Church received the approval of its status as a patriarchate from the bishops of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch. Thus, it was officially recognized as the fifth in honor among the Orthodox patriarchates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Union of Brest-Litovsk<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The sixteenth century saw the development of the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom on the Western boundary of Russia. By 1569 Poland and Lithuania had become one under <strong>Sigismund<\/strong>. The kingdom had taken segments of the Russian lands as far east as Kiev &#8211; territory populated almost exclusively by Orthodox Christians. Jesuits had entered this territory earlier, bringing Latin learning and practices. The result was the Union of Brest-Litovsk in 1596 through which the Orthodox bishops of the area effected a union with the Roman Church on the foundations agreed to in Florence a century earlier. The rites and customs of the Church for the masses of Orthodox faithful taken into the \u201c<strong>unia<\/strong>\u201d remained the same. The ecclesiastical hierarchy, clerical, and academic leadership of the Church was totally subjected to the Latin discipline and doctrine of the Roman papacy. This union of 1596 remained in effect in the territories which have continued to be ruled by non-Orthodox governments such as Poland, Austro-Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. From its inception, the uniate movement was always confronted with substantial opposition. Opposers were mainly Orthodox laymen who were organized into brotherhoods and blessed by <strong>Patriarch Jeremiah of Constantinople<\/strong> to defend the Orthodox faith, as early as 1588. In the beginning the anti-uniate movement was helped by the use of the printing press of <strong>Ivan Fedorov<\/strong>. This man was expelled from Muscovy with his \u201cdiabolical invention\u201d by Ivan III.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The East<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the second half of the sixteenth century, the Eastern patriarchs were in contact with the Protestant reformers in the West. <strong>Josaphat II<\/strong> (<em>1551-1565<\/em>) sent representatives to Wittenberg and Tubingen. They returned highly displeased with what they found. <strong>Jeremiah II<\/strong>, after a careful study of the <strong>Augsburg Confession<\/strong> \u00e2\u0080\u0093 which was sent to him for his inspection \u00e2\u0080\u0093 soundly declared the Lutheran teachings to be heretical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During this same period, <strong>Saints George<\/strong> and <strong>John the New<\/strong> (<em>1526<\/em>) were added to the Church\u2019s list of saints for their martyrdom under the Moslems. Other Greek saints at this time were Saint <strong>Vissarion, Bishop of Larissa<\/strong> (<em>d.1541<\/em>) and <strong>Saint Philotheas of Athens<\/strong> (<em>d.1589<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The West and the Protestant Reformation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The West in the sixteenth century went through the Protestant reformation and the counter-reformation of the Roman Church. <strong>Martin Luther<\/strong> (<em>d.1545<\/em>), <strong>John Calvin<\/strong> (<em>d.1564<\/em>) and <strong>Ulrich Zwingli<\/strong> (<em>d.1545<\/em>) led the reformation movement on the European continent. They attacked the practical abuses of the Roman Church as well as its official teachings. <strong>King Henry VIII<\/strong> founded the <strong>Anglican Church<\/strong> by the <strong>Act of Supremacy<\/strong> in 1534 and <strong>John Knox<\/strong> (<em>d.1572<\/em>) brought the Calvinist faith to Scotland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Roman Church held the <strong>Council of Trent<\/strong> (<em>1561-1563<\/em>) which officially formulated the doctrines of purgatory, indulgences, transubstantiation of bread and wine in the eucharist and other positions attacked and denied by the Protestants. The Protestant position is based on the doctrine of justification by grace through faith alone. The Bible is the sole churchly authority, interpreted directly by each believer under the inspiration of God. The sacramental life of the Church is reduced to Baptism and the Lord\u2019s Supper, which is understood primarily as a memorial meal, in no sense a sacrifice. The Council of Trent reinforced the doctrines of the supremacy of the pope of Rome and the authority of the church hierarchy. Both these doctrines were main targets of the Protestant attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The West and the Counter-reformation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Roman counter-reformation was led by the <strong>Jesuits<\/strong>. The <strong>Society of Jesus<\/strong> was founded in 1534 by <strong>Ignatius of Loyola<\/strong> (<em>d.1556<\/em>) for the specific purpose of defending the Roman papacy. <strong>Francis Xavier<\/strong> (<em>d.1552<\/em>) was the famous Jesuit missionary who reached the Far East during this period. The Dutch Jesuit, <strong>Peter Canisius<\/strong> <em>(d.1597<\/em>) led the counter-reformation in Germany, writing his famous Catechism which became a standard text of post-reformation Catholicism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In Spain the mystical writers, <strong>Teresa of Avila<\/strong> (<em>d.1582<\/em>) and <strong>John of the Cross<\/strong> (<em>d.1591<\/em>) were leading the reform of the religious life of the Roman Church.
