Lusitanian Catholic Orthodox Church (in Portuguese: Igreja Católica Ortodoxa Lusitana) is a Catholic and Orthodox denomination in Portugal. ==History== The Lusitanian Catholic Orthodox Church identifies its origins in the original undivided Christian community founded by Jesus, with its traditions first established by the Twelve Apostles. Christianity came to Portugal with Saint Peter of Braga, a disciple of Saint James, who ordered him between years 45 and 60. The legend says that Saint James, one of the apostles of Christ visited the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula in 44 AD. One his supposed visits was to Serra de Rates, in the current municipality of Póvoa de Varzim. During his visit, the apostle is to have ordained the local Peter of Rates as the first bishop of Braga. It is believed that Saint Peter of Rates was beheaded while converting believers of the Roman religion to the Christian faith. The first historically recorded bishop of Braga was Paterno, who took part in the Council of Toledo in the year 400. The Metropolitan of Braga had spiritual supremacy over the diocese of Conímbriga, diocese of Viseu, diocese of Dume, diocese of Lamego, diocese of Porto, and diocese of Egitânia. The South part of Portugal was under the Bishop of Evora and Lisbon. In the year 1052, the Bishop of Rome, claiming authority over all West, and adding the "Filioque" in the Nicene Creed, leading some churches to leave full communion with Rome. In some places in the West, such as in Southern Italy, many bishops resisted. In the 14th century many priests dissent from the Roman Catholic Church in Portugal. Some of them joined the Lusitanian Catholic Apostolic Evangelical Church, others remained independent Catholics, celebrating mass underground. In the 1980s some of these priests received episcopal ordination through Rapoza's line and the Old Calendarist Greek Orthodox Church and rebuilt the Orthodox Catholicism in Portugal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lusitanian Orthodox Church」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
