Abstract

Novatianism was a early Christian movement which was formed around Novatian (d. 258) and considered heretical and schismatic by the Catholic Church. Therefore, the Novatianists became the target of the Church's criticism. Basically they were critisized because of their view about readmission of lapsi (apostates) into the Christianity and establisment of different kind of church. However, objectivity of church’s criticism about Novatian and Novatianism, can be questioned. In this paper, Novatian and Novatianism were briefly introduced and Church’s objectivity about them was discussed. As a conclusion, it was figured out that both Novatianists and some teologians which represent Catholic Church had some inconsistencies.

Özet

Novatianizm, Novatian’ın (ö:258) görüşleri etrafında oluşan erken dönem Hıristiyan akımıdır ve kilise tarafından heretik ve ayrılıkçı kabul edilmektedir. Bundan dolayı da Novatianistler kilisenin eleştirilerinin hedefi haline gelmişlerdir. Onlar temel olarak, lapsilerin (mürtetler) dine geri dönmeleri konusunda takındıkları sert tavır ve ayrı bir kilise yapısı tesis etmeleri sebebiyle eleştirilmişlerdir. Ancak Novatian ve Novatianizm eleştirisinde kilisenin ne kadar objektif olduğu sorgulanabilir. Bu çalışmada da, kısaca Novatian ve Novatianizm tanıtılmış ve kilisenin bu konudaki duruşu nesnel bir tavırla sorgulanmaya çalışılmıştır. Sonuçta, karşılıklı olarak hem Novatianistlerin hem de merkezi kiliseyi temsil eden bazı teologların birtakım uygulamalarında tutarsızlıkların olduğu görülmüştür.
