Lviv Synod of 1891: reasons for convocation, course and consequences

Abstract

The article is about the reasons for convocation, the course and the consequences of Lviv synod, which took place in Lviv in 1891. The pride of place goes to examination of issues, raised during the synod, particularly the matter of celibacy, the matter of Basilian reform, changes of Ruthenian calendar, and also the matter of Eucharistic practice in Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The thesis about the importance of determination and enactment, adopted by Lviv synod, for continuation of «The Golden Age» of our Church and about their positive impact on the course of its further development has been proved.
