Slavic Catholic

Slavic Catholic or Catholic Slavs are terms used for the predominantly Catholic Slavic nations and the history of Catholicism among the Slavic peoples. The Catholic Slavic nations include Croats, Poles, Czechs and Slovaks.[1]

History

Middle Ages

Grand Duke Kazimierz IV of Lithuania and Poland (r. 1440–92) initiated the Catholicization of Kiev (which was Orthodox) early in his reign.[2]

Early modern period

The Union of Brest (1596) saw the official establishment of the Uniate Church (Orthodox but Catholic in allegiance) in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.[2]

The Habsburg Monarchy launched a programme of re-Catholicization in Bohemia and Moravia in the 1620s.[3] The Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Marča became Uniate in 1611, although it was part of a conflict between local Catholic and Orthodox clergy over the century.[4]
