Help support New Advent and get the full contents of this website as an instant download. Under the name Raskolniki, the various offshoots and schismatic bodies originating from the Greek Orthodox Church of the Russian Empire have been grouped by Russianhistorians and ecclesiastical writers. Strictly speaking, the name Raskolniki refers merely to those who have kept the outward forms of the Byzantine Rite; the others who have deserted its ritual as well as its teaching are grouped under the name Sekstanstvo (sectarianism). In the present article they are both treated together, since either form of dissent is but slightly known outside of Russia. The Raskolniks represent in the Russian. Church somewhat the antithesis of Protestantism toward the Catholic. Raskol Drink, Whitefish, Montana. Raskol Drink provides an art to slinging drinks efficiently and creating a cocktail. Church. Protestants left the Catholic. Church because they claimed a desire to reform it by dropping dogmas, beliefs, and rites; the Raskolniks left the Russianchurch because they desired to keep alive the minutest rites and practices to which they were accustomed, and objected to the Russian. Church reforming them in any respect. In doing so they fell into the greatest of inconsistencies, and a section of them, while keeping up the minuti. These are mere names today, but the main separation from the Russian Established church came in 1. Nikon, Patriarch of Moscow, convened a synod at Moscow for the reform of rituals and the correction of the church books. Best of YouTube Music Sports Gaming Movies TV Shows News Live Spotlight 360! Kralj Henri VIII proglasio je sebe vrhovnim poglavarom Crkve. At the time the air in Southern Russia was filled with the idea of union with Rome, in Central and Northern Russian there was the fear of the Polish invasion and the turning to Latin customs. When Nikon corrected the church service books, into which many errors had crept through careless copying, and conformed them with the original Greek text, great complaint was expressed that he was departing from old Slavonichallowed words, and was making cause with the stranger outside of Russia. When he undertook to change the style of popular forms and ceremonies, such as the sign of the cross, the spelling and pronunciation of . Afterwards when Peter the Great came to the throne (1. Patriarchate of Moscow, substituted the Holy Synod and made himself the head of Church authority, changed the form of the ancient Russo- Slavonic letters, and set on foot a host of new things in Church and State, the followers of the old order of things publicly condemned him as the Antichrist and renounced the State Church forever, while clinging to the older forms of their fathers. But both Nikon and Peter had the whole Russianepiscopate with them, as well as the great majority of the Russianclergy and people. The dissenters who thus separated from the established Greco- Russian. Orthodoxchurch became also known as Stariobriodtsi (old Ritualists) and Staroviertsi (old Believers), in allusion to their adherence to the forms and teaching prevailing before Nikon'sreforms. As none of the Russianbishops seceded from the Established Church the Raskolniks therefore had but an incomplete form of Church. Of course a number of priests and deacons adhered to them, but as they had no bishops they could not provide new members of the clergy. Soon death began to thin the ranks of their clergy, and it became apparent that within a brief period they would be left without any priesthood whatever. Then some of their leaders began to deny that a priesthood was necessary at all. This lead to the splitting of the Raskolniks into two distinct branches: the Popovsti (priestly, i. The latter, however, accepted their ministrations. The fortunes of these two denominations or sects were quite different. The former grew to great importance in Russia, and are now said to have between thirteen and fifteen millions of adherents. The latter subdivided again and again into smaller sects, and are said to number between three and four million, all included. They will be taken up separately. Popovtsi or Hierarchical Raskolniks. At first these renewed their clergy by taking over dissatisfied or dismissed priests from the established Orthodox Church, after having them take an oath against all the reforms instituted by Nikon and Peter; but this method was hardly satisfactory, for in most cases the material thus obtained was of low moral grade. They believed that the whole Russianepiscopate had gone over to Antichrist, but were still valid bishops, and hence endeavoured to have bishopsordained by them, but in vain. They searched the Eastern world for a bishop who held their particular ideas, and it seemed almost they must eventual change for lack of clergy, when chance aided them. A community of Popovtsimonks had settles at Bielo- krinitsa (White fountain) in Bukowina. Ambrose (1. 79. 1- 1. Greekmonk, was appointed Bishop of Sarajevo in Bosnia, and was consecrated by the Patriarch of Constantinople. Subsequently a later patriarchdeposed him, and when his resentful feelings against the a Constantinopleauthorities were at their height, the Raskolniks approached him with the request to become their bishop. On 1. 6 April, 1. Ambrose agreed to go over to their faith and adopt all the ancient practices, consecrate other bishops for them, and become their metropolitan or archbishop. On 2. 7 October, 1. Bielo- krinitsa, took the necessaryoaths, celebrated pontifical Mass and assumedepiscopaljurisdiction. Bielo- krinitsa is only a few miles from the Russian border, and a hierarchy was soon brought into being for Russia. After bishops were consecrated for Austria and Turkey, bishops were consecrated and installed in Russia. The Russian government could not crush the head of the Raskol. Church, for it was in Austria. The Popovsti grew by leaps and bounds, commenced to provide for a regular educatedclergy and vied with the established church. At present they have, since the decree of toleration in 1. Russia with a Metropolitan in Moscow, and bishops at Saratoff, Perm, Kazan, Caucasus, Samara, Kolomea, Nijni- Novgorod, Smolensk, Vyatka, and Kaluga. Their chief stronghold is the Rogozhsky quarter in Moscow, where they have their great cemetery, monastery, cathedral, church, and chapels. In 1. 86. 3, at the time of the Polish insurrection, the Raskolnik archbishop and his lay advisors sent out an encyclical letter to the . This again split their church into two factions which last to this day: the Okruzhniki or Encyclicalists, and the Raznordiki or Controversialists, who denied the points of agreement with the national Church. In addition to this the Established Church has set up a section of these Raskolniks in union with it, but has permitted them to keep all their peculiar practices, and these are called the Yedinovertsi or . A great many of the Controversial section of the Raskolniks are coming into the Catholic. Church, and already some eight or ten priests have been received. Bezpopovtsi, or the Priestless, seemed to represent the despairing side of the schism. They have their greatest stronghold in the Preobrazhenky quarter in Moscow, and are strong also in the Government of Archangel. They took the view that Satan had so far conquered and throttled the Church that the clergy had gone wrong and had become his servants, that the sacraments, except baptism, were withdrawn from the laity, and that they were left leaderless. They claimed the right of free interpretation of the Scriptures, and modelling their lives accordingly. They recognize no ministerssave their . Lest this be said to duplicate Protestantism it must be said that they have kept up all the Orthodoxforms of service as far as possible, crossings, bowings, icons, candles, fastings, and the like, and have regularly maintained monasteries with their monks and nuns. But they have no element of stability; and their sects have become innumerable, ever shifting and varying, with incessant divisions and subdivisions. The chief of these subdivisions are: (1) Pomortsi; or dwellers near the sea, a rural division which is very devout; (2) Feodocci (Theodosians) who founded hospitals and laid emphasis on goodworks; (3) Bezbrachniki (free lovers) who repudiated marriage, somewhat like the Oneida community in New York; (4) Stranniki (wanderers) a peripatetic sect, who went over the country, declaring their doctrines; (5) Molchalniki (mutes), who seldom spoke, believingevil came through the tongue and idle conversation; and (6) Niemoliaki (non- praying) who taught that, as Godknows all things it is useless to pray to him, as He knows what one needs. These various divisions of the priestless are again divided into smaller ones, like many of the strange sects in England and America, so that it is almost impossible to follow them. Often they indulge in the wildest immorality, justifying it under the cover of some distorted text of Scripture or some phrase of the ancient Church service. Sectarians. The various bodies which make up the Sektanstvo have seceded from the national Russian. Church quite independently of the schism at the time of Nikon and the reform in the church books. They correspond more closely with the various sects arising from Protestantism, and are founded upon some distorted idea of the Church, or a rule of life of doctrines of the Faith. Some of them are older than the schism, but most of them are later in point of time. The principal ones comprise between one and two millions and may be subdivided, or classified as follows: (1) Khylsti (Flagellants), who believe in severe penances, reject the Church, its sacraments, and usages. They also are called the Ludi Bozhi, or . They hold secret meetings in which they sing wild, stirring hymns, dress in white, and jump, dance, or whirl, much like the negro revivals in the Southern States.(2) Skoptsi (Eunuchs), who not only teach absolutecelibacy, but mutilate themselves so as to be sexless. They boast that they are pure like the saints and walk untainted through this world of sin, and take the literal view of Matthew 1. Painting by Vasily Perov (1. Raskol (Russian: . They strove to reform Muscovite society, bringing it into closer accordance with Christian values and to improve church practices. As a consequence, they also were engaged in the removal of alternative versions and correction of divine service books. The most influential members of this circle were Archpriests. Avvakum, Ivan Neronov, Stephan Vonifatiyev, Fyodor Rtishchev and, when still Archbishop of Novgorod, Nikon himself, the future Patriarch. These innovations met with resistance from both the clergy and the people, who disputed the legitimacy and correctness of these reforms, referring to theological traditions and Eastern Orthodox ecclesiastic rules. Ignoring these protests, the reforms were approved by the church sobors in 1. In 1. 65. 3–1. 65. Print Yard under Epifany Slavinetsky began to produce corrected versions of newly translated divine service books. However, these reforms, apart from their arbitrariness, established radically different relations between the church and the faithful. It soon became obvious that Nikon had used this reform for the purpose of centralization of the church and strengthening of his own authority. Nikon’s forcible introduction of the new divine service books and rituals caused a major estrangement between the Zealots of Piety and Nikon. Some of its members stood up for the old faith and opposed the reforms and patriarch’s actions. Avvakum and Daniel petitioned to the tsar in favour of the two- finger sign of the cross and bows during divine services and sermons. Then, they tried to prove to the clergy that the correction of the books in accordance with the Greek standards profaned the pure faith because the Greek Church had deviated from the . Ivan Neronov spoke against the strengthening of patriarch’s authority and demanded democratization of ecclesiastic management. This conflict between Nikon and defenders of the old faith took a turn for the worse and soon Avvakum, Ivan Neronov and others would be persecuted and eventually be executed in 1. She holds two fingers raised, thus showing the old way of making the Sign of the Cross: with two fingers, rather than with three. The case brought by the defenders of the old faith found many supporters among different strata of the Russian society, which would give birth to the Raskol movement. A part of the old faith low- ranking clergy protested against the increase of feudal oppression, coming from the church leaders. Some members of the high- ranking clergy joined the Raskol movement due to their discontent over Nikon’s aspirations and the arbitrariness of his church reforms. Some of them, such as bishop Paul of Kolomna, Archbishop Alexander of Vyatka (let alone a number of monasteries, such as the famous Solovetsky monastery), stood up for the old faith; bishop Paul was eventually executed for his loyalty to the old rites. Boyarynya Feodosiya Morozova, her sister Princess Urusova, and some other courtiers openly supported or secretly sympathized with the defenders of the old faith. A certain idealization and conservation of traditional values and old traditions, a critical attitude towards innovations, conservation of national originality and acceptance (by radical elements) of martyrdom in the name of the old faith as the only way towards salvation were intertwined with criticism of feudalism and serfdom. Different social strata were attracted to different sides of this ideology. The most radical apalogetes of the Raskol preached about approaching Armageddon and coming of the Antichrist, Tsar’s and patriarch’s worshiping of Satan, which ideas would find a broad response among the Russian people, sympathizing with the ideology of these most radical apologetes. The Raskol movement thus became a vanguard of the conservative and at the same time democratic opposition. Especially members of the low- ranking clergy, who had severed their relations with the church, became the leaders of the opposition. Propagation of the split with the church in the name of preservation of the Orthodox faith as it had existed until the reforms was the main postulate of their ideology. The most dramatic manifestations of the Raskol included the practice of the so- called ognenniye kreshcheniya (. An early 1. 9th- century hand- drawn lubok, attributed to Mikhail Grigoriev. The Old Believers would soon split into different denominations, the Popovtsy and the Bespopovtsy. Attracted to the preachings of the Raskol ideologists, many posad people, mainly peasants, craftsmen and cossacks fled to the dense forests of Northern Russia and Volga region, southern borders of Russia, Siberia, and even abroad, where they would organize their own obshchinas. This was a mass exodus of common Russian people, who had refused to follow the new ecclesiastic rituals. In 1. 68. 1, the government noted an increase among the . With active support from the Russian Orthodox Church, it began to persecute the so- called raskolniki (. Some of the Raskol apologetes, such as Avvakum and his brothers- in- exile at the Pustozyorsk prison, tended to justify some of the uprisings, interpreting them as God’s punishment of the ecclesiastic and tsarist authorities for their actions. Some of the supporters of the Old Believers took part in Stepan Razin’s rebellion in 1. Old Believers' rebellion and Stenka Razin himself had strongly antiecclesiastic views. The supporters of the old faith played an important role in the Moscow Uprising of 1. Many of the members of the old faith migrated west, seeking refuge in the Polish- Lithuanian Commonwealth, which allowed them to freely practice their faith. The internal policy of Peter the Great eased the persecution of the Old Believers. The Tsar, however, did impose higher taxes on them. During the reign of Cath. However, the position of Old Believers in Russia remained illegal until 1. From an ecclesiastic and theological point of view the Raskol remains a highly controversial question and one of the most tragic episodes of Russian history.
