Among the preserved archival holdings
of the Pontifical Chancery are ecclesiastical instruments connected to
the early juridical and patriarchal development of the United
Roman-Ruthenian Church and issued by authorities of the Holy See of
Rome. These pertain to the reception of apostolic jurisdiction,
patriarchal autocephaly, and papal dignity within the continuing
Orthodox and Catholic tradition now embodied in the Roman-Ruthenian
Church and State. These documents are part of the sacred patrimony of
the Church, preserved with care and continuity.
