The History of the Greek-Catholic Church in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: The Catholic Church of the Byzantine-Slavonic rite, that is the Greek-Catholic Church (but also Roman-Catholic Church), derives its presence in the territory of Slovakia from the activities of the Holy Brothers. Their arrival in the Great Moravian Empire in 863 strengthened the empire’s special position , which came from its geopolitical position on the frontier of two cultural and political worlds, western and eastern. Methodius, the archbishop, simply reflected and strengthened the special position of the empire where East met West. He did not become an exponent of Byzantine imperial policy. Although he was on the territory of Byzantine ideology he was also at the service of Rome Artykuł omawia dzieje kościoła grekokatolickiego na Słowacji, w szerokim historycznym kontekście, poczynając od czasów państwa Wielkomorawskiego i działalności Cyryla i Metodego.
