Abstract

Antun Kanižlić in his theological and historical polemic Kamen pravi smutnje velike considers Orthodox Greeks to be the originators of Great Schism and gives them negative axiological (value) attributes (the renegades; new Greeks; the followers of Focius etc.). These negative value attributes are especially emphasized in the case of Focius; Eastern Church patriarch; who is; according to Kanižlić; the main culprit of East-West Schism. Kanižlić dedicated him quite a sarcastic sepulchral poem; which is given special attention in the analysis because it represents a paradigmatic example of piling axiological attributions (cunning snake; freak etc.) Using imagologic analytical method applied on Kanižlić’s text; this paper/article will particularly try to analyze the phenomenon of developing confessional identities; as well as the problem of confessional otherness.

Keywords
