Chrysostom Blashkevich

Chrysostom Blashkevich

Chrysostom Blashkevich, OSB (1915 - 1981) was a Benedictine monk of Russian origin. Blashkevich was born in a Russian Orthodox family. During the II World War was recruited into the Soviet Army, where turned his coat and served as interpreter in the German Army. In 1945 was converted to Roman Catholicism and entered to Benedictine Order, being dean of the Monks of Byzantine Rite in Nideralteich Abbey in Germany.

Father Blashkevich was engaged in Catholic ecumenism with other Christian religions but he was also a critic of desacralisation of Catholic doctrine in relation to the dialogue with Protestant denominations and the real intentions of the Orthodox Christians in the ecumenism.
