	Primate (religion) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Anglican Primate serves as the senior metropolitan of his or her national Church.
		In most national churches composed of several provinces, the Primate will be an archbishop as well, but in those which do not have a tradition of archepiscopacy, a bishop will be styled as Primus (e.g., of the Scottish Episcopal Church) or Presiding Bishop (e.g., of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America).
		In the Western Church, a Primate is an archbishop (or rarely a suffragan or exempt bishop) of a see (called a primas) which confers precedence over the other bishops of his own province, or over a number of provinces (possibly part of a province), such as a 'national' church in (historical) political/cultural terms.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Religion of Russia
		In 1080 the antipope Clement III sent a letter to the Metropolitan Ivan II (dead in 1089), proposing to the latter the union of the Russian Church; Ivan answered, however, enumerating the heresies of the Latins (Marcovitch attributes this letter to the Metropolitan Ivan IV, who, according to Golubinsky, died in 1166).
		Isidor resigned the Metropolitan See of Kieff about 1458, and in the same year Pius II appointed Gregor the Bulgarian, who was a disciple and companion of the former metropolitan, and who, according to the historian Golubinski, remained united to Rome until 1470, after which he became Orthodox, and died in 1472.
		Among the metropolitans of this time, Macarius (1542-63), and the energetic Philippus II, who was slain by order of Ivan the Terrible in 1473, were distinguished by the extent of their learning.

		He spoke about how his own life was saved when the Metropolitan gave him shelter in Lviv's St. George's Cathedral, how the Metropolitan, who stood resolutely in favour of Ukrainie's independence and shared in the general euphoria of liberation from the Soviets, nevertheless kept a critical vigilance toward German rule.
		The Nazi who delivered Himmler's response bluntly told the Metropolitan that if it were not for his age, he would have been shot for meddling in matters which should not concern him.
		Attempts to have the Metropolitan proclaimed a saint have foundered on the protests of some Poles, on the propaganda of the Soviets and on the indifference or hostility of certain groups within the Jewish diaspora.

		They also insisted on their historical right to the property confiscated by the SOC (650 churches and monasteries), as well as to be able to choose themselves a Metropolitan of their own ethnicity, and to be able to baptize their children as Montenegrins of the Christian Orthodox faith.
		However, Vladika's counterpart from the SOC, His Holiness Risto Radovic, who also calls himself Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Coast (disputes that he is a Metropolitan of SOC) denied legality of the new Metropolitan claiming that "the proclamation of the MOC and election of the new Metropolitan is not a religious but a political act".
		During his reign, His Holiness Antonije Bishop of Cetinje and Metropolitan of Montenegro was subjected to an orchestrated campaign of intrigues and smear.

	Article by JD
		The metropolitans have by no means had the best of it; the city slicker can be just as much a figure of fun and ridicule as the provincial bumpkin, and is just as likely to be suckered — a Rawdon Crawley for every Charles Bovary.
		I myself was raised in a small provincial town, but I have spent most of my adult life in big cities or their shadows, and have a mostly metropolitan cast of mind.
		The metropolitan conservative and his provincial cousin both have their part to play in keeping what Sir Kenneth called “the balance of ends and means.” Sitting in New York cooking up argumentative commentaries is as useful, in its own way, as running a Christian home-schooling group in Knoxville.

		Jacoby contends that it's one of "the great unresolved paradoxes" that religion occupies such an important place in a nation founded on separation of church and state.
		She traces the role of "freethinkers," a term first coined in the 17th century, in the formation of America from the writing of the Constitution to some of our greatest social revolutions, including abolition, feminism, labor, civil rights and the dawning of Darwin's theory of evolution.
		Elizabeth Cady Stanton, co-founder of the movement for female emancipation, was to develop this idea into the Woman's Bible, which blamed the religious mentality for the degradation of her sex.
