The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that it is the first in the history of Ukrainian literature a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the rare old printed book of the Ukrainian polemicist and theologian Theodore Skumynovych «Przyczyny porzucenia Disuniey» (1643) was carried out in historical, theological and rhetorical aspects. In the work, widely involving new data from the history of the Byzantine Empire, Rus-Ukraine and also theology, it is critically presented the view of Theodore Skumynovych on the most discussed ritual and dogmatic differences between the Catholic and Orthodox churches of that time, such as the primacy of the Pope, the Filioque, the purgatory, the matter and form of the sacrament of the Eucharist. The work shows the assimilation of the counter-reformation style of writing polemics by Ukrainian literature.

The relevance and scientific and practical significance of the work is explained by the fact that it helps to better understand the genesis, reasons and specifics of modern contradictions of church-social relations in Ukraine. The experience of Catholic and Orthodox clergy in overcoming confessional contradictions and conducting a dialogue of reconciliation revealed in the work can be useful and used in the latest state policy in the field of religion to ensure religious security, which is an important component of Ukraine's national security.
