=32. Writings concerning the Eastern Church.=--The larger number
of the works under this heading the titles of which come into the Index
of the 19th century, are the production of the “United Armenians.” The
addition of a group of monographs by Polish writers is doubtless due
to the fact that during the reign of Pius IX, the consultor of the
Congregation was a Pole, Peter Semenenko. The Bull issued by Pius IX
in July, 1867, under the title of _Reversurus_, in which it had
been ordered that the procedure of worship of the Armenians should be
reconstituted, resulted in a schism in this division of the Church.
Between the years 1872 and 1873, three monographs by Ormanian and one
by Casangian, written in opposition to this Bull, are placed upon the
Index. The list also includes the following:
Pichler, A., _Die kirchliche Trennung zwischen Orient und Occident_.
The Greek Church of Russia is represented in the Index of this time by
but one or two titles:
Tolstoy, Dimitri, _Le Catholicisme Romain ou Russe_, published in 1864,
prohibited in 1866. This work stands in the Index under the entry
“Dimitri.” The entry is connected with the reference _Opus praedamnatum
ex reg. II. ind._ This entry indicates that, prior to 1870, the
Russians were already classed as heretics.
Pociej, Joh. (Chancellor of the Cathedral at Chelm), _O Jezusie
Chrystusie_ (a study of the record of the early Christians), printed
in 1852 (with the approval of the Church authorities at Warsaw),
prohibited in 1857.
