Information About

Union Of Brest




The union was strongly supported by the King Of Poland , Zygmunt III Waza , but opposed by some bishops and prominent nobles of Rus', and perhaps most importantly, by the nascent Cossack (Kozak) movement for Ukrainian self-rule. The result was "Rus' fighting against Rus'," and the splitting of the Church of Rus' into Greek Catholic (also known as Uniate this term is generally viewed as a derogative by Catholics ) and Greek Orthodox jurisdictions.
