Why is the book presented at the Council of 1640 so remarkable? The patriarch of Jerusalem and all Palestine, Nektarios - a contemporary of St. Peter - explained this by the fact that it contains "a confession that is right and pure, not having in itself the slightest admixture from the novelties of any other Confessions." " Peter Mogila, - he wrote in the preface, -when he was elected and ordained an Orthodox Metropolitan, found his flock infected with some new opinions of unbelievers - opinions completely contrary to the right, ancient teaching. Therefore, as a good Shepherd and a zealous defender of the Faith, he undertook a God-pleasing intention to win over and turn the Russian Church to that pure teaching, which she adhered to at first; and all new opinions that have arisen in it to destroy by the root and, thus, to fertilize his spiritual field, and to make it fruitful. Thinking well about his business, he immediately set to work. He summoned men who were famous for their enlightenment from his diocese to the Metropolitanate, and even before that he summoned three bishops under his control. We discussed a lot and, in the end, everyone, with general advice and agreement, decided: to write a summary of his Faith ... ",- which was done. It should be added that the "Catechism" of St. Peter was important and needed not only for the Russian Church, but for the entire Ecumenical Orthodoxy. Before him there were ancient confessions and statements of faith against ancient heresies, and catechisms that were written after the fall of the Roman Church. But since the 16th century, the situation has changed, since Protestantism arose in the West and the previous beliefs became insufficient: they did not give answers to new questions and did not have information about new delusions.
