FILTHY EATING AND HETERODOXY IN THE CANONICAL RESPONSES BY METROPOLITAN JOHN

The problem of communication with heterodox in Old Rus was understood very categorically. However, a detailed analysis of one example of such the prohibitions – the 5th rule of Metropolitan John – reflects some difficulties. Punishment requires refusal of communion and filthy eating for those located on the outskirts of the Russian Land. The Greek text of the rule implies the mountains of the Russian Land, and the concept of “Russian Land” can be interpreted as narrow (the middle Dnieper region) or wide (the borders of the Russian Metropolis). Refusal of communion and foul eating do not correlate well with anti-Latin prohibitions, although they do not exclude them. It is also possible that they are talking about punishment for communication with pagans or an internal church conflict.

Keywords: church law, canonical responses, history of the Russian Church, desecration, heterodoxy, Russian Land
