The Attitude of the Imperial Court in Vienna tovvard the Union of Churches in Dalmatia
Ivan Pederin
Sažetak
In this article is discussed the problem of the union of Greek and
Latin Churches in Dalmatian Croatia in the 1820-ies. According to the
existing research the Imperial and Royal administration did its best
to compel the Orthodox communitv to unite with the Catholic Church.
The existing research did not discover any document on compelling
measures. This article is based upon the personal archives of the
Emperor who kept a watching eye on the events in Dalmatia. There is
no evidence that the Austrian administration even did the initiative to
the union, no theological reasons are mentioned in the letters of the
high ranking officials of this administration, that respected the
autonomy of the Orthodox and other religious communities.
Theological reasons are also not mentioned in the letters of the
Orthodox community that opposed the union. The united bishop
Benedict Kraljević was to state that there is no dogmatic difference
between the two Churches, the differences are in religious rituals.
