The criminal law of Emperor Peter I:

"... Blaspheming the name of God and the holy sacraments entailedburning tongue through, and then cutting off the head, but the reproaching the Mother of God, the saints and the Orthodox faith (was punished by) cutting off the joint, or the death penalty."

Analyzing the information above, we can conclude, that at the XVII century Christian doctrine was radically changed, and Latin version finally established both in the West and in Russia.

Since this age the differences among Catholicism and Orthodoxy[88]had been reduced to a minimum: in both places the contents of the sacred books was no different, though they had failed to be include the Old Testament into the sacred books in Russia yet, it was done in the XIX century.

Signs of Catholicism, appeared in Russia in the XVII century

Crossing with three fingers.(Life of archpriest Avvakum: "The Romans cross themselves with the three fingers until now, then they deluded Poland and all the surrounding countries: the Germans, and Serbs, Albanians and Hungarians, and Greeks - all were deluded. And now our Russia has beloved the same three fingers. ").

The Inquisition.Decrees and the real burning those people, who did not accept the innovations.

Latin Gospels and the entire New Testament.

Also, they wanted to make the papal throne, where the role of "the Pope of all Russia[89]” was prepared for Nikon.

Nikon wrote personal letters to the Patriarchs, where he condemned the Tsar Alexey, because the tsar loved Latin faith and Russian Church fell in Latin dogmas.

Catholics were excluded from the heretic category.

The only thing that they didn`t manage to fulfil, was to include the Old Testament into content of holy book.

Each works for someone who understands more

In the XVII century each solved his tasks:

• Alexey Mikhailovich wanted to become emperor;

• Nikon wanted to become Orthodox Pope;

• The Catholics wanted to spread Catholicism in Russia for the congregation expansion;

• The Jews aspired to make the Torah the Scripture in Russia;

• The Global predictor (global conceptual power of biblical project of enslaving mankind from the name of God) wanted to introduce the concept of usury from God's name (covering with God`s name).

Let`s recall Melnikov-Pechersky, who complained of lack of understanding the schism causes by all social stratums. In his way he was right: each participant of these events understood only his function, but could not see the concept as a whole, except the Global Predictor.

At the time of Peter I

It is possible to talk about the real spread of Catholicism in Russia only since the end of XVII - beginning of XVIII century. Special contribution to it belongsto Peter I(Peter the Great), Catherine II (Catherine II of Russia)and Paul I (Paul I of Russia).

Olga A. Litzenberger:

"Peter I repeatedly visited luxirious Catholic services in the German Quarter, and Catholics began to play a prominent role in Russian society during his reign.

On the one hand Peter I declared the Orthodoxy the state religion, but on the other hand, he abolished the institutionof patriarchate by entering the post  ofthe custodian of the patriarchal throne (exarch) in order to eliminate the political role of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Stephen Yavorsky, the former uniate, studied the Latin theology in the Polish Jesuit colleges and called "the pole" and "the latin", was appointed to post ofthe custodian of the patriarchal throne.

In 1721 the post of custodian of the patriarchal throne was abolished andTheMost Holy Governing Synodwas established.Feofan (Theophan) Prokopovichruled the Synod, he also received an excellent Catholic education. "

Florovskywrites about him: "It was a typical mercenary and rogue (adventurer)..." Institution of orthodox patriarch stopped to exist, therefore, a special status of the Russian Orthodox Church in the country was eliminated.

At the first year of its existence, the Holy Synod adopted a decree allowing the Orthodox marriages among orthodoxes and believers of other Christian confessions without converting the last into Orthodoxy.

On the basis of religious Orthodoxy conservatism a myth appeared, that the real tsar was captured in Sweden, but instead of him "a German was released for reigning " or "a son of the German woman."

On December, 20 1720 Peter I issued a decree obliging monasteries to deliver to him ancient manuscripts and printed books and on February, 16 1722 signed the Decree about delivering chronicles storing in the monasteries for copying.

The similar decrees were at the time of Alexey Mikhailovich also. As the results – the educational material created by Orthodox authors earlier stopped to exist.

"Orthodox theologians have to study using translated books by famous philosophers and theoreticians of the different eras Catholic Church[90].

Many Russian educational facility were supervised by the Catholic monastic orders. Begining from the era of Peter the Great, the Russian education system was rebuilt according European models, all based on the theory of education, developed by the Jesuit monastic order. "

Here is the control method, at first they destroyed all Russian doctrinal books, and then began to teach using Catholic books and this policy has led to the fact that,"More and more thinking intellectuals and representatives of the educated nobility inclined in favor of Catholicism"according to the author.

Thus, during the time of Peter they educated and raised the Catholic elite, which worked for the owners and wheelers-dealers of regional civilization of the West, sincerely believing, that it is the center of culture and education, but Russia is uneducated and wild country. They succeed to maintain this opinion in our "elite" till now[91].

 Florovsky says, "Babylonian captivity of the Russian Church begins...”

The Orthodox clergy in Russia since the era of Peter becomes a“frightened class”.

Decrees were issued, that "people of male and female gender of any rank are to confess sins to their spiritual fathers every year ", evasion of confession would be fined.

This was done with the purpose to define persons belonging to ancient doctrine, for which people were subjected to double taxation.

 A special decrees issued in 1718 ordered Orthodox townees to visit the church and the temples certainly and stand with reverence and in silence, listening to the holy service, otherwise they faced fines.

Theological school of seminary type were established in different cities of Russia, where the Latin was the language of teaching, and even the Scripture was learned using the Vulgate.

After Peter I

Period since 1725 till 1762 was named by Russian researchers stage of "palace coups", when six sovereigns placed each other on the throne, and Russia"was ruled by foreign Germanrogues (adventurers)" and "Germans were dumped into Russia like garbage from bag full of holes, they stuck around courtyard, sat on and around throne, got to all the lucrative positions in management system",according expressionof Vasily O. Klyuchevsky.

During the reign of Anne of Courland(Anna Ioannovna, Anna of Russia)[92], who had been ruling since 1730 till 1740 and surrounded herself with Germans - protestants (Ernst Johann von Biron,Heinrich Johann Friedrich Ostermann (Andrey Ivanovich Osterman),Burkhard Christoph von Münnich), interest to western religions reached unprecedented proportions in the highest circles.
