Faustus Socinus

Socinians were members of the specific radical Reformation internationalreligious group that was formed originally in Poland and in Transylvania in theXVIth century and went beyond the limited scope of the reform initiated byLuther or Calvin. At the roots of their religious doctrines was theAntitrinitarianism developed by Michael Servetus (1511-1553) and transplantedby Italian Humanists, as well as the social ideas borrowed initially from theAnabaptists and Moravian Brethren. About the middle of the XVIth century avariety of Antitrinitarian sects emerged. They called themselves Christians orBrethren, hence Polish Brethren, also Minor Reformed Church. Their opponentslabeled them after the old heresies as Sabellians, Samosatinians, Ebionites,Unitarians, and finally Arians. They were also known abroad as Socinians, afterthe Italian Faustus Socinus (1539-1604) (Fausto Sozzini, nephew of Lelio Sozzini)who at the end of the XVIth century became a prominent figure in the RakówUnitarian congregation for systematizing the doctrines of the Polish Brethren.Although the spirit of religious liberty was one of the elements of the Sociniandoctrine, the persecution and coercion they met as a result of the CounterReformation led them to formulate the most advanced ideas in the realm ofhuman freedom and church-state relations.The intellectual ferment Socinian ideas produced in all of Europe determinedthe future philosophical trends and led directly to the development ofEnlightenment.

College of Science and Technology

The doctrines of the Polish Brethren represented ahumanistic reaction to a medieval theology based onsubmission to the Church's totalitarian authority. Thoughthey retained the scripture as something suprarationem, they analyzed it rationally and believed thatnothing should be accepted contra rationem. Theirsocial and political thought underwent a significantevolutionary process from the very utopian trendcondemning participation in war and holding public andjudicial office to a moderate and realistic stand based onmutual love, support of the secular power of the state,active participation in social and political life, anddefense of social equality. They spoke out against theenserfment of peasants, a recurring issue in Poland notsolved until the XXth century. They were the first topostulate the complete separation of church and state,an idea never before discussed in Christian societies.Their spirit of absolute religious freedom expressed intheir practice and writings, "determined, more or lessimmediately, all the subsequent revolutions in favor ofreligious liberty." Their rationality set the trend for thephilosophical ideas of the Enlightenment anddetermined future development of all modernintellectual endeavors. After expulsion they were forcedinto oblivion for three centuries, forgotten in a countrythat continued to be dominated by the Catholic Church.

Studies on the Development of Principles

Governing Modern SocietiesSources of American Ideals

The intellectual ferment Socinian ideas produced in all ofEurope determined the future philosophical trends and leddirectly to the development of Enlightenment. Theprecursor ideas of the Polish Brethren on religious freedomwere later expanded, perfected and popularized by JohnLocke (1632-1704) in England and Pierre Bayle (1647-1706)in France and Holland. The ideas of John Locke weretransplanted directly to the American continent by ThomasPayne, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and others andwere implemented them for the first time in the Americanlegislation.The project of studies involves: 1. Translation of the originalworks written by Michael Servetus from Latin into English; 2.Recovery of writings of the Socinians and spreading theinformation about their ideas; 3. Tracing the developmentof ideas which eventually led to the formation of Americansociety and its Constitution with all its ideals and freedoms.
