Ο ρόλος του βικαρίου επισκόπου Δοσιθέου (Stojković, 1906-1981) στο «Μακεδονικό Εκκλησιαστικό Ζήτημα»

The role of the Vicar Bishop Dositheos (Stojković, 1906-1981) in the “Ecclesiastical Macedonian Question” One of the thorny problems that the Serbian Church agonized over in the middle of the 20th century was certainly the secession of its Southern provinces and the creation of the self- proclaimed "Macedonian Church". The political, historical, ecclesiastical and socio-ideological circumstances under which this church was formed, are the subject of this lesson. The aim of this study of this ecclesiastical-political issue is the clarification of the involvement and the formation of what was Yugoslavia at that time and its politics and the role they played in the formation and support of this schismatic church. A key role in the development and shaping of the ecclesiastical status of this ecclesiastical community (“Macedonian church”) was played by the Vicar Bishop of the Serbian Patriarchate, Dositheos Stojković (1906-1981), who,through his ecclesiastical policy, became the first metropolitan of Skopje and Prefect of this schismatic church. This article highlights aspects of his diverse,political and religious activities, throughout his time, at the helm of this church.
