Antony/Anthony

The name Антоний in this case is monastic. By this reason it may be translated as Anthony. Also Google search show 4 840 results for "Anthony (Khrapovitsky)" and 3 950 results for "Antony (Khrapovitsky)". ~ Чръный человек (talk) 16:46, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a significant difference in frequency. Antony not only more closely reflects the Russian spelling, it also more closely reflects the Latin original of the name. Anthony is a Renaissance-era English spelling based on a misunderstanding of the name's etymology. Angr (talk) 19:02, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Metropolitan Anthony was not lived in latin era. "Anthony" is used on the official websites of the ROCOR, for example on the Eastern American Diocese: "Anthony Khrapovitsky" - 16 results vs "Antony Khrapovitsky" - 6 results. The time and cause of apearance of "Anthony" do not matter. It is important the situation that exists in the sources at this moment. "Anthony" is prevails. ~ Чръный человек (talk) 05:01, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The sources I used to write the article all call him "Antony". Just because slightly more people misspell the name than spell it correctly is not a reason for us to misspell it too. Angr (talk) 16:34, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Metropolitan Antony and "Ukrainian nationalism"

The following sentence: In this position he suppressed the Eastern Catholics of Ukraine as well as nationalism within the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. is entirely wrong.

First of all, the Eastern Catholic church in the Russian Empire was entirely liquidated in 1875 when the last Eastern Catholic diocese, the Kholm diocese, under the pressure of Tsarist officials was incorporated to the Russian Orthodox Church as part of Warsaw Orthodox eparchy. Therefore, when Antony (Khrapovitsky) arrived in Volhynia there were no Eastern Catholics he might surpress. What is true is that the archbishop worked actively on promoting Orthodoxy in Austrian Galizia, sending missionaries there to have the Galizian Eastern Catholics converted to Russian Orthodoxy.
Antony (Khrapovitsky) was not able to fight nationalism in Ukrainian Orthodox Church for there was nothing like the named Church while he was archbishop in Zhytomyr. The Orthodox structures in the region belonged to Russian Orthodox Church. It should be stated instead that Antony was a Russian nationalist who actively participated in the efforts of russification of the local Ukrainian-speaking population. The article says nothing about Antony's participation in the extreme right Black Hundreds, not about the transformation of the Pochaiv Lavra into a large russification centre, to which he greatly contributed. 86.111.101.252 (talk) 11:20, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
