[edit] Wife and Children?
Does anyone know if Vladimir ever got married, had any descendants, or why he died homeless?Rivka-bat-Chava (talk) 01:05, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
I cant find proves for his conversion to catholicism. The most beliveable is that he was Russian Orthodox his whole life, but that he had catholic sympathies and contacts.
[edit] Giacomi Biffi inspired by Solovyov
"Addressing a Lenten retreat for the Pope and top Vatican officials, Italian Cardinal Giacomi Biffi has cited a Russian philosopher's "prophetic" warning that "the Antichrist presents himself as a pacifist, ecologist and ecumenist".
Cardinal Biffi, who has been leading this week's retreat for the Pope, cited the warning presented in the work of Vladimir Solovyev, a 19th-century Russian philosopher, about the modern guises of the Antichrist, according to a Catholic News Service report."[1] -- noosphere 13:14, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Catholicism
from a Catholic magazine: http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/1996/9601fea2.asp:
"Which was Soloviev's church? Was he "Orthodox"? Was he Catholic? The data we have are confusing. Soloviev was raised in the Russian Orthodox Church. In 1896 he made a profession of faith in the Catholic Church before an Eastern-rite priest. That priest received him into the Church and gave him Communion. A year later Soloviev became ill and asked a Russian priest to give him Communion. Knowing that Soloviev had earlier been received into the Catholic Church, the priest refused.
"Ten years after Soloviev's death, a Russian priest wrote that he had heard Soloviev's deathbed confession and had given him Communion. The priest also recounted some of the matter of Soloviev's confession, thereby breaking the seal of confession. That deplorable fact by itself, however, is not sufficient ground for ignoring or denying the Russian priest's story.
"So what is Soloviev's ecclesiastical status? By his reception in 1896 he did enter the Catholic Church. Assume that he did, and by his own choice, receive last rites from an Eastern priest. Does this mean-as Easterners argue-that at death he was not Catholic, but a member of the Russian Orthodox Church? However one answers that question, one fact remains: Whatever Soloviev did on his deathbed, there is no evidence that he ever renounced his belief in the infallible teaching authority and the universal jurisdiction of the pope."
Clearly unsettled, but I get the sense that the article is a bit too defensive about the suggestion at the moment. Gabrielthursday 23:31, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nightingale?
Unexplained is the significance of deriving "Solovyov" from nightingale. Certainly there's no point in pointing out origins of everyone's name. Let's remove the remark if no justification for it can be produced. Myron (talk) 10:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
