In Protestant Reformation history,confessionalization is the parallel processes of "confession-building" taking place in Europe between the Peace of Augsburg (1555) and the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). For most of this time,there was a nominal peace in the Holy Roman Empire between the Protestant and Catholic confessions as both competed to establish their faith more firmly with the population of their respective areas. This confession-building occurred through "social-disciplining," as there was a stricter enforcement by the churches of their particular rules for all aspects of life in both Protestant and Catholic areas. This had the consequence of creating distinctive confessional identities that influenced church dogma,faith formation,liturgy,and the development of universities.

The Metropolis of Kiev,Galicia and all Rus' was a metropolis of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in the Eastern Orthodox Church that was erected in 1620. The dioceses (eparchies) included the Eparchy of Kiev itself,along with the eparchies of Lutsk,Lviv,Mahilioŭ,Przemyśl,Polatsk,and Chernihiv. The dioceses lay in the territory of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth,which was at war with the Tsardom of Moscow for much of the 17th century. Around 1686,the Kiev and Chernihiv dioceses became Moscow-controlled territory. At the same time,the metropolis transferred from the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople to the Patriarchate of Moscow in 1686. It is a matter of dispute as to whether this de facto transfer was also de jure or canonical.
