The similar decrees were at the time of Alexey Mikhailovich also. As the results – the educational material created by Orthodox authors earlier stopped to exist.
"Orthodox theologians have to study using translated books by famous philosophers and theoreticians of the different eras Catholic Church[90].
Many Russian educational facility were supervised by the Catholic monastic orders. Begining from the era of Peter the Great, the Russian education system was rebuilt according European models, all based on the theory of education, developed by the Jesuit monastic order. "
Here is the control method, at first they destroyed all Russian doctrinal books, and then began to teach using Catholic books and this policy has led to the fact that,"More and more thinking intellectuals and representatives of the educated nobility inclined in favor of Catholicism"according to the author.
Thus, during the time of Peter they educated and raised the Catholic elite, which worked for the owners and wheelers-dealers of regional civilization of the West, sincerely believing, that it is the center of culture and education, but Russia is uneducated and wild country. They succeed to maintain this opinion in our "elite" till now[91].
Florovsky says, "Babylonian captivity of the Russian Church begins...”
The Orthodox clergy in Russia since the era of Peter becomes a“frightened class”.
Decrees were issued, that "people of male and female gender of any rank are to confess sins to their spiritual fathers every year ", evasion of confession would be fined.
This was done with the purpose to define persons belonging to ancient doctrine, for which people were subjected to double taxation.
A special decrees issued in 1718 ordered Orthodox townees to visit the church and the temples certainly and stand with reverence and in silence, listening to the holy service, otherwise they faced fines.
Theological school of seminary type were established in different cities of Russia, where the Latin was the language of teaching, and even the Scripture was learned using the Vulgate.
After Peter I
Period since 1725 till 1762 was named by Russian researchers stage of "palace coups", when six sovereigns placed each other on the throne, and Russia"was ruled by foreign Germanrogues (adventurers)" and "Germans were dumped into Russia like garbage from bag full of holes, they stuck around courtyard, sat on and around throne, got to all the lucrative positions in management system",according expressionof Vasily O. Klyuchevsky.
During the reign of Anne of Courland(Anna Ioannovna, Anna of Russia)[92], who had been ruling since 1730 till 1740 and surrounded herself with Germans - protestants (Ernst Johann von Biron,Heinrich Johann Friedrich Ostermann (Andrey Ivanovich Osterman),Burkhard Christoph von Münnich), interest to western religions reached unprecedented proportions in the highest circles.
Catholic missionary became especially large in these years in the country, Latin priests freely walked across Russian cities in priest robes. A significant part of the Russian nobility consciously accepted Catholicism under the influence of missionaries and interest to Western European culture. Often, this occurred, when Russian nobility resided abroad.
At the time of Catherine II (of Russia) (1762-1796) doors were the most widely opened for Catholics.
It was the time of Catherine II reign, when official relations among Russia and the Vatican began to develop, and at the end of the XVIII century even the treaty was signed about the conditions of diplomatic relations with the Vatican, the appointment of bishops, property of church, family and marriage, and so forth. The papal embassy existed in Russia up to 1917 with some intervals.
During reign of Paul I (of Russia) (1796-1801) the Jesuits exerted great influence on the tsar, received significant privileges in Russia.
Paul I share the views of the Jesuits in the divine origin of royal power and saw an ally in the struggle against atheism in the Roman Catholic Church.
Paul I even offered the Pope to transfer residence to Russia[93].
Nicholas I and the Catholics
Emperor Nicholas I (of Russia) held anti-Catholic policies especially after the November Uprising of 1830-1831 in Poland. This is one of the causes, why Liberals "dislike" and slander him.
Catholic BishopKesslerdescribed Nicholas I as a "decisive enemy of the Catholic Church, who suppressed religious freedom, persecuted members of Catholic orders and miserable Uniates".
During the reign of Nicholas I about 40 anti-Catholic decrees were issued in the Russian Empire with prohibiting, eliminating and restricting content.
In 1842 the Pope condemned the Russian policy towards the Catholic Church and accused the Russian government in the absence of tolerance, persecution and destruction of the Catholic Church.
Nicholas I agreed to the proposal of the Holy See to begin negotiations, seeking to prevent potential negative consequences for Russia, and for fear of worsening international relations. RussianEmperor arrived at the Apostolic Capital, where on the December 12, 1845 recepted with the Pope.It was agreed, that the focus should be on the treaty.
July 22, 1847 in Rome CardinalLuigi Lambruschiniand representatives of Russia - CountDmitry Bludovand Apollinaris Butenev signed the agreement. All the provisionsof the agreement were never fully fulfilled.
It should be noted, that in fact during the thirty years of Emperor Nicholas I reign, there was virtually no attempt to translate and, moreover, to issue the Old Testament.
The Russian elite of that time did not understand the global policy also, for example, accordingtoChaadayev[94],Western successes in the field of culture, science, law, material well-being are the direct and indirect fruits of Catholicism as a"political religion".
The Catholic church acts as direct and legitimate heir of the apostolic church for Chaadayev. It is the only carrier of the collective, cathedral, catholicital beginning.
Catholics, Greeks and Kiev Uniats have not coped with set tasks
When analyzing the information above, we can conclude that the task set by the world backstage was completed only partially to the XIX century. Strong resistance of Russian society, especially of those, who defended the interests of Russia and understood the tasks of global governance, failed to achieve the main goal. Then, a new team came to help Catholics.
"... During the reign of Catherine II (1762-1796), the great mass of Polish Jews found itself under Russian rule at once, as a result of partition of Poland and joining many of its areas to the Russian Empire.[95]"
After the Jews had found themselves in Russia, the rabbis obtained significantly more opportunities, not only for the complete Bible dissemination, but also for the doctrine of usury implementation.
The Russian "elite", including religious, was afraid to publish the Bible. In 1857 MetropolitanPhilaret of Kiev wrote to theOber-Prokuror (theChief Procurator)of the Most Holy (Govering) Synod Alexander P. Tolstoy:"The effectsof the Scriptures translation into Russian will be unfortunate for our mother Orthodox Church ... Then all the Orthodox people will stop to visit the temples of God."
