CONTRIBUTION OF GREEK THEOLOGISTS TO THE UNION CONFERENCES IN BONN 1874 AND 1875

Summary/Abstract: The bilateral Orthodox and Old-Catholic relations began shortly after the formal establishment of the western confession in 1871. It arose out of strong protest by prominent Roman-Catholic academics against the official proclamation of papal infallibility. Although the Greek theologians participated after the Russians, they made the greatest contribution to the two union conferences in Bonn in 1874 and 1875. They consulted with their western delegates and reached six positions on the procession of the Holy Spirit. In addition, they agreed on several theological teachings that differentiated Roman-Catholicism from Orthodoxy. Figures such as the Archbishop of Syros and Tinos, Alexandros Lykourgos and the professors of the theological school of the University of Athens, Zikos Rossis and Nikolaos Damalas, demonstrated the rising dynamics of the newly established Greek state, the holy synod of the Greek Church and the Ecumenical Patriarchate with their well-respected presence and their significant influence on the emerging Old-Catholic theology.
