                     Orthodox censorship?

SES - this encyclopedia, which is used without checking. SES - 
a one-volume edition, the articles are carefully selected and 
the dead. There are several post-reform publications SES (BES, 
MES, etc.), differing in volume and year of edition. I always 
use OCR Paleka made from one of the publications. In Editorial 
Paleka added a number of detailed articles and texts from the 
TSB legislative acts. Legislative Acts I removed. We call

This option is conditional - STS.

On a completely innocuous books "background on the history of 
early Christianity" and "Antique criticism of Christianity," AB 
Ranovicha (1885-1948), I accidentally discovered that the 
editors of our favorite dictionary is under the influence ... 
Russian Orthodox Church! 

In STS named Macarius: 3 monk, 1 partiarh, 1 Metropolitan and 4
martyr. Among these great figures for some reason did not get 
Makarios Magnet (end of the IV.) Transferred in his book 
"Apokritikos" the largest anti-Christian quotes from the 
Neoplatonists Porphyria.


In STS named Apollonius: 2 martyr (in 1984 g.ih SES was not)
and 2 of the sculptor. Apollonius of Tyana - the most popular 
false prophet I at. - Not specified. (You can still find traces 
of it in the article STS "Neopifagoreizm" and "The Hammer of 
Witches" Sprenger and Institoris. ) There is not even known to 
the Hebrew prophets in I. - Fevda and Judas of Galilee (from 
the dictionary Jude 4). About these persons can be read in the 
"Gallery of the saints" P. Holbach, in the New Testament Acts 
of the Apostles and M. Abramovich, in his book "Jesus, a Jew 
from Galilee." Still in I in Palestine. the trade have become 
famous (following Abramovich) Shimon slave of Herod, and the 
shepherd Atrong. Understand why they are not in the dictionary? 
A prophet in II. Bar Kochba (son of Shimon Stars) named only 
only the "leader of anti-Roman rebellion." 

In STS exactly one Kornut - Martyr (in SES in 1984 was not
and it). Kornuta, stoic I in., Is not there. This famous 
philosopher allegorical interpretation of the teachings of the 
Greek gods. 

In STS named Theodoro: 10 (!) Martyrs, bishop and abbot,
sculptor, 2 writer, Boyar, and Prince (both Orthodox saints).
The ancient Greek philosopher-atheist Theodore of Cyrene (IV 
century. BC) not specified. In the SES in 1984 there were only 
3 of Theodore: 2 writer and one Christian deyatel.To have 
articles added disproportionately, do not you think?


In STS exactly one Celsus (author encyclopedic work of "art"). 
Anti-Christian writer Celsus (end of II century.; To us He 
reached in the transfer of Origen) is not there. (You can find 
his name in IA Kryveleva, Z. and P. Kosidovskogo Holbach - that 
is, do know the anti-Christian writer.) 

Now we'll see what the expressions described in the 
Encyclopedia Emperor Julian: 

Julian the Apostate (Julianus Apostata) (331-363), Roman emperor
361. Received a Christian upbringing, becoming the emperor, 
declared himself a supporter of the Pagan religion, to reform 
it on the basis of Neo-Platonism, issued an edict against the 
Christians. From Christian Church was given the nickname 
Renegade. 

This refutes the AB Ranovich:
"Having the power, Julian did not open persecution against 
Christians, both Christian did his predecessors and successors 
in relation to the "Gentiles." Christian church was then already

too strong. He proclaimed freedom of religion;
its only hostile to Christians act - the prohibition of 
Christian teaching secular science. But this prohibition was 
set out in very moderate terms: "school teachers must

excel, first, his behavior, and secondly -
eloquence. So, since I can not personally be at each
city, I command that everyone who wants to surrender to the 
teaching did not get on this thing indiscriminately and 
suddenly, but that it has received approval of the authorities 
and kurialov decree, issued in accordance with the best 
citizens; this decree will be then submitted to consideration 
of me for that (the teacher) started occupations in the city, 
invested the highest honorary title on the basis of our 
opinion. "Of course, Julian had in mind simply does not 
Teachers say the Christian and frankly explained it in one of 
its circulars, so that the teacher should be honest and not 
hypocritical, and so a Christian can not be tolerated to 
teaching Homer and other classics, which he considers sons of 
Satan. But the emperor yet had no objection to Christians in 
their churches teach their co-religionists dogmas Christian 
faith and engaged in "the interpretation of Matthew and Luke". 

A total of encyclopedia made, how it was possible to count, 910 
articles of the martyrs or groups of martyrs. There also join 
article on 254 bishops, archbishop, metropolitan, or 
Archimandrite Patriarchs, where this activity is named primary. 
Plus 75 professional monks, ascetics and hermits. (For 
comparison: mentioned by 90 popes and the antipope of the 303 
existed. Catholicos is in the dictionary only 8.) And the total 
number of articles in the dictionary of 75,277. 

What does this mean? The fact that readers turn the dictionary 
vector perception. Little by little. First, apparently, were 
smoothed expression which described the Orthodox leaders. (Can 
be justified - Polikorrektnost.) Then the cards are removed 
from the anti-Christian writers (it's invisible without a 
special inspection). Today added to the martyrs and miracle 
workers, in Soviet times they would not have looked. What 
happens next? I do not know ...
