Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orthodox Confession of the Catholic and Apostolic Eastern Church was produced by Peter Mogila in reaction to the efforts of the Jesuits and western protestant reformers in the Polish dominated areas of Old Rus. His "Confession", originally published in 1645, was published throughout Europe in Greek, Latin, German, as well as in Russian. This Confession was given standing over the following years by the local Council of Jassy in 1642, by the patriarchs of the Churches of Constantinople, Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch in 1643. In the end, it was approved by the four Eastern patriarchs and was formally approved at the Synod of Jerusalem in 1672. It remains one of the primary outlines of Eastern Orthodox doctrines as outlined in refutation of Roman Catholic and Protestant claims, and was adopted as the Orthodox Standard Catechism.
