- Title

- Abstract
In the late seventeenth century along the lines of European confession-building and Ottoman sunnitization, the Armenian Apostolic Church initiated the reshaping of its orthodoxy in the face of growing Tridentine Catholicism. Through the contextualization of the polemical writing attributed to the famed Constantinopolitan Armenian erudite Eremia Č'ēlēpi K'ēōmiwrčean, this article discusses the ways of detecting "bad innovations" in the doctrine and practice of Armenian communities in the Ottoman realms, and the doctrinal instruments used for enforcing "pure faith" towards social disciplining of the Apostolic Armenians.
