crisis - Opis:
- The Orthodox Church in the Polish-Lithuanian state of the 16th century was organized under a unified and hierarchical structure of the Kiev Metropolis. Theoretically, it was subordinated to its Mother Church in Constantinople, in practice, however, it was almost fully autonomous with regard to its internal operation; in terms of organization and property, it was embedded in the social and economic system of the state of its time. Historiography to date has generally accepted the thesis about the multi-faceted crisis that the Orthodox in the Kiev Metropolis were supposed to be experiencing. This crisis was to intensify especially after the Union of Lublin in 1569, when fundamental structural changes were effected within the monarchy ruled by Sigismund Augustus. Transfer of four voivodeships from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, in which the Orthodox Ruthenian population was an important (and sometimes dominant) constituent part, into the borders of the Crown (the Kingdom of Poland), was to be the foundation on which Polish state administration and great landowners intended to build a new religious reality, primarily through the expulsion of the local Orthodox Church. An analysis of the situation of the Kiev Metropolis in the second half of the 16th century shows that its condition did not differ significantly from what was happening in the Polish Catholic Church at the time. As far as the economic foundations are concerned, the Orthodox Church in the Commonwealth after 1569 owned assets sufficient to perform its function in every extent required by church law and custom, especially since it had institutional support, namely the ktetor system. The period following the Union of Lublin was also characterized by an expansion of Orthodox Church structures, especially at the level or parishes, whose number increased significantly. Artistic and spiritual culture flourished, as is clearly evident in the extant examples of icons, sacral architecture, liturgical books and theological literature. New forms of activity of the faithful (laymen) have emerged, such as Orthodox brotherhoods. Therefore, in my opinion, the Kiev Metropolis in the second half of the 16th century did not differ from other religious communities, both in the Commonwealth and in other countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The only crisis that really affected it at the time was a crisis of growth.
