Territorial vicariates will be formed in Moscow
Moscow, December 23, 2011
| Novodevichy Convent |
The Primate of the Russian Church proposed using the same principles in relation to the city of Moscow that underlie the initiative of the Holy Synod to disaggregate the dioceses.
However, the formation of several dioceses on the territory of a single city contradicts the canonical norm “let there not be two bishops in a city” (I Ecumenical 8), therefore proposals were developed to create territorial vicariates in the capital, Patriarchia.ru reports. “As the ruling bishop of the city of Moscow, I cannot help but realize that I have very limited time for communication with the clergy of the capital and for archpastoral work with parishes. This is due both to the large Orthodox population and churches in our city diocese, and to the large volume of my responsibilities as the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church,” Patriarch Kirill noted in his report at the Diocesan Assembly of Moscow on December 23.
In 2010, a number of vicars of His Holiness the Patriarch were entrusted with the care of parishes in the deanery districts of Moscow. As the Primate said, at the next meeting of the Holy Synod, a document will be considered that establishes the rights and responsibilities of suffragan bishops managing territorial vicariates and prescribes the formation of advisory bodies under the vicariates.
“Over the past year, confusion arose regarding how vicars and deaneries interact,” noted His Holiness Patriarch Kirill. — The answer is simple: the deans and deaneries that are part of the territorial vicariate are subordinate to the diocesan bishop through the vicar bishop who heads this vicariate. In other words, in matters that go beyond the competence of the vicar and relate directly to the authority of the diocesan bishop, the dean addresses the latter through the vicar.”
In cases where the dean believes that the resolution of the issue is being unjustifiably delayed or the decision taken causes him bewilderment, he has the right to turn directly to the Patriarch with a report in which he must describe in detail the essence and chronology of the issue with the relevant correspondence attached, His Holiness clarified.
At present, the parishes for which vicars are responsible coincide in most cases with one deanery. In connection with the construction of new churches and the creation of territorial vicariates, it is possible to increase the number of deaneries - so that in each vicariate, like the central one, there are 2-3 deaneries. In this regard, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill addressed the suffragan Eminences with a request to make appropriate proposals by March 2012.
History of Russia before 1917
Russian historical dictionary, Terms
VICARIARY - in the Russian Orthodox Church, a group of parishes in a diocese, transferred by the ruling bishop to the direct control of the vicar.
In the Russian Orthodox Church, the status of vicariates is regulated by the Regulations on diocesan vicariates of the Russian Orthodox Church, approved on December 27, 2011 by the definition of the Holy Synod. In accordance with the Regulations, a vicariate is a canonical division of a diocese, uniting one or more deaneries of the diocese. The Vicariate is not registered as a legal entity.
The vicariate, by delegation of authority from the diocesan (ruling) bishop, is managed by a suffragan bishop (vicar bishop, vicar), appointed to the position and dismissed from office by the determination of the Holy Synod on the proposal of the diocesan bishop. The highest authority over the administration of the vicariate belongs to the diocesan bishop. The powers of the vicar bishop to manage the vicariate are determined by the above Regulations, as well as written or oral instructions of the diocesan bishop.
Central and Southern Vicariates of Moscow
Not all suffragan bishops administer vicariates. Vicar bishops may be appointed to assist the diocesan bishop without transferring vicariates to them. The powers of such vicars are determined by written and oral instructions of the diocesan bishop.
To carry out the activities of managing the vicariate, the vicarial bishop convenes a meeting of the clergy of the vicariate, creates a vicariate council and a secretariat (records service) of the vicariate. The assembly of clergy of the vicariate consists of clergy of all canonical divisions of the vicariate who have not been prohibited from clergy and have not been prosecuted by an ecclesiastical court. Meetings of the meeting are held at least once a year to resolve the most important issues.
The council of the vicariate includes the vicar bishop, the confessor of the vicariate elected by the meeting of clergy, the deanery of the deaneries included in the vicariate, one clergyman from each deanery as elected by the meeting of clergy, and also, at the discretion of the vicar bishop, up to three clergy whose competence makes their participation necessary. in the council. The Council considers current issues and meets at least four times a year.
