Sobory wileńskie 1509 i 1514 roku

Both councils of Vilnius, the first in 1509 and the second in 1514, greatly improved the functioning and internal organization of the Orthodox Church and strengthened the discipline and moral state of the Ruthenian clergy. The council of 1509-1510 led to a reduction of fraud and the various inappropriate practices prevailing in the Orthodox Church (buying cathedrals episcopal seats of the Orthodox Church, bishops being insubordinate against the metropolitan, the absence of lords on the councils, lack of pastoral care of the laity and clergy, lawlessness of the laity and their interference in the affairs of the Orthodox morality of the clergy). Arrangements were also made to strengthen the authority of the metropolitan and lords in the Church over that of the secular and religious clergy and laity in order to reduce the impact on the internal life of the Church. The council of 1514 canonized Elizeusza Lavryshevskogo and this new development of his canonization led to his worship among the faithful of the Orthodox Church throughout the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
