The Union of Brest - A Union with Papal Rome

Wandering the Edge

What is the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and how did it come about? Who were the main characters who made it happen, who sort-of lost his mind in the process and how was it received? This Union wasn't the first attempt to unify the Eastern and Western Christian churches but it made a great impact on Ukraine's religious history. We'll take a look at the beginnings of the Uniate Church (another name for the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church) and why they're (still) perceived as a threat to Moscow's Orthodoxy.
