 | | Saint Vladimir, a Catholic (at a time when there was a single undivided Catholic Christian church), was killed in 1016. |
 | | Even after that, it continued to exist in some places abroad, for instance in Detroit, U. A., where in 1923, the Independent Montenegrin Orthdox Church Saint Vasilije Ostroski was still performing baptisms (see a complete birth certificate from that time as well as a detail of the seal on that certificate). |
