Abstract

The papers of this session aim to investigate different aspects of the religious interaction between Latins and Greeks in Latin Romania. In particular, they focus on the way that the Latins perceived their religious differences with the Greeks, and the actions that they deemed necessary for the promotion of the Roman rite and the preservation of the Catholic communities in Greece. Amongst other things, the papers examine the attitudes of the Latin settlers towards their heterodoxous neighbours, official policies (either from the part of the papacy or the Latin states of Greece), and ad hoc measures adopted by the Catholic Church and its religious orders in order to promote Latin Christianity in Greece.
