On the formation of an ideological faction in the Greek Orthodox Church in the second half of the eighteenth century: the Kollyvades†
Kollyvades, a distinct ideological faction in the Greek-Orthodox Church, did not represent a simple conservative reaction to the challenge of modernity, but an alternative effort of reform, the yeast of a potent movement of re‑traditionalisation.

Kollyvades, a distinct ideological faction in the Greek-Orthodox Church, did not represent a simple conservative reaction to the challenge of modernity, but an alternative effort of reform, the yeast of a potent movement of re‑traditionalisation. They unsuccessfully sought to rise from a dominated position (as monks and scholars) in the Greek-Orthodox religious field to a dominant position as bearers and keepers of Tradition. Their attempt to reverse their dominated position in the Greek-Orthodox religious field and their effort to dominate the monastic sub‑field failed, but failure forced them to produce a renovating religious discourse and to address a larger audience, unintentionally escaping the narrow Athonite arena. The clash with the radical republicans of the Balkan Enlightenment offered them the possibility to upgrade themselves as the most intransigent apologists of the official Church and its loyalist policy. Thus, they finally, succeeded to carve out for themselves a dominant position as custodians of Tradition. They ironically became themselves sources of ecclesiastical legitimation for the clerical faction that seeks to topple the submission of the Church to the modern centralised Nation-State. Les Kollyvades, une faction idéologique distincte au sein de l’Église grecque-orthodoxe, ne représentent pas une simple réaction conservatrice aux défis de la modernité, mais un effort alternatif de réforme, ferment d’un mouvement puissant de re‑traditionalisation. Ils ont tenté sans succès de s’élever d’une position dominée (en tant que moines et érudits) dans le domaine religieux grec-orthodoxe à une position dominante en tant que détenteurs et gardiens de la Tradition. Leur tentative de renverser leur position dominée dans le domaine religieux grec-orthodoxe et leur effort de dominer le sous-domaine monastique a échoué, mais l’échec les a forcés à produire un discours religieux innovant et à s’adresser à un public plus large, s’échappant involontairement de l’arène réduite d’Athos. L’affrontement avec les républicains radicaux des Lumières balkaniques leur a offert la possibilité de s’ériger en apologistes les plus intransigeants de l’Église officielle et de sa politique loyaliste. Ainsi, ils ont réussi ultimement à se tailler une position dominante en tant que dépositaires de la Tradition. Ironiquement, ils sont devenus eux‑mêmes des sources de légitimation ecclésiastique pour la faction cléricale qui cherche à renverser la soumission de l’Église à l’État-nation centralisé moderne. |
