And they say photianism is a religion of peace...

1991 Russian Moscow Patriarch Kirill At the WCC General Assembly in Canberra.

"His uncle brought him a tutor, the famous Romantic poet Sima Milutinović (1791–1847), an eccentric figure, author of mystical cosmical poems and a Freemason who immensely influenced the young boy. After his uncle’s death (1830) Rade became a bishop under the name Petar II (anointed in Russia in the presence of Nicholas I). As a statesman, he started the modernization of his country (centralization of power, taxpaying), not without resistance, facing at the same time wars with the neighboring Turks. Although in foreign politics he was trying to maintain good relations with conservatives like Metternich at the same time, he was adamant in supporting the idea of the national liberation and suspected (by the same Metternich, for example) of nurturing liberal and revolutionary ideas."

"As we can see, a work written by a bishop of the Orthodox Church is replete with heterodox topics: the pre-existence of souls and condemnation of matter; pre-existence and plurality of worlds; continuous creation of the world not ex nihilo but out of dark chaos; coexistence of God and the dark realm; positive appreciation of the solar cult. On the other hand, some contemporary theologians state that in spite of some deviations, the poem belongs to Biblical and patristic tradition. (Some years ago there was an initiative for the canonization of Njegoš as a saint but was eventually not accepted)."
