The old believers Metropolitan of Moscow and all Russia Cornelius (secular name - Konstantin Titov) is a pastor of the approximately two million old believers living in Russia and in the world. On a deep belief of adherents of this religious movement, they are preaching the true, pure Christianity, which is not distorted maloobespechennye Church reforms of the seventeenth century.Metropolitan Cornelius

History of the old believers is one of the saddest pages in the Russian Church. After a hasty conversion Nikon has separated the Russian people one of the most important for the Slavs grounds – Faith in God. The split led to a bitter rivalry and mutual hostility of former co-religionists, suddenly become enemies.

Old believers Church-historical background

The old believers Arose in the second half of the 17th century, after the great Church reform which was conducted from the years 1653-1666 by Patriarch Nikon. Changes in the worship, rituals, texts of the sacred books. For example, troebortnoe the sign of the cross has replaced deeperstudy, the spelling of the name Jesus replaced the old spelling of Jesus, a triple glorification of the “Hallelujah” has become the norm instead of double.

Pretty impressive part of the population and the clergy did not accept these innovations. So there was a Split and there was the old belief, which is also divided into two parts: the priestless old, not recognizing the clergy, and priests who believe that priests still needed for rituals and worship. The Popovtsy were also called beglopopovtsi because they became a haven for fugitive priests who deny the reforms of Nikon.

The Authorities began a brutal persecution against believers and particularly against their leader, Avvakum, which honors current Metropolitan Cornelius. Habakkuk was once a close associate and assistant to the Nikon, but did not accept his reformist reforms and devoted himself to the struggle for true Orthodoxy. Priest denounced ungodly innovations, wrote impassioned petitions to the king, even in the face of death, he was persistent and did not give up their views. Avvakum was burned in the spring of 1682, becoming believers of a Holy Martyr for the true Faith.

The Government has softened the attitude towards the old believers Church only two centuries later, when Alexander II signed a decree, according to which old believers were allowed to make free worship, to go abroad, to open schools, to hold public office. And in 1971 the Council of the Orthodox Church recognized the unlawfulness of the “split”, which was adopted at the Councils of 1656 and 1667.
