The Church of Hungary

In the Christian taxonomy of Andalusada, there was an isolated entry called "the Church of Hungary." It's the replacement for the Church of England IRL, and it takes things a step further by claiming to be Orthodox and Catholic and Protestant at the same time.

Christianities of Andalusada

"Christianity" is a pretty broad-stroke thing. In America, because we're used to thinking of it in this way, we define it in terms of Catholics and various denominations of Protestants. In Europe, it's defined in terms of national churches and such.

But broken down into its most basic taxonomy, the overwhelming majority of Christianity can be partitioned into some point of this taxonomy, arranged in roughly chronological order. Branches (or sub-branches) written in boldface represent churches that have historically claimed some degree of exclusivity in the past:

• Assyrian Church of the East
• Oriental Orthodox communion
• Coptic canonical tradition
• Ethiopian canonical tradition
• Eastern Orthodox communion
• Greek canonical tradition
• Slavonic canonical tradition
• (cf. Russian Orthodox) Old Believers
• Roman Catholic communion
• Roman Catholic Church
• Uniate churches
• Protestantism
• Lutheranism 
• Calvinism
• Presbyterian tradition
• Congregational tradition
• Baptist tradition
• Anabaptist tradition (arguably separate from Protestantism)
• Anglican Communion (arguably a Protestant tradition)
• Methodist tradition
• Holiness tradition
• Pentecostal tradition

This is, obviously, a very reduced taxonomy. It isn't counting in the tangle of loyalties caused by the Eastern Catholic tradition, for instance, or the hairsplitting that's come out of Protestantism. It also isn't counting in the extinct branches, or the subtle liturgical differences between canons.

What is Güntheritism?

"Güntheritism is the functional analogue of Lutheranism IRL."

That's the short answer. Theologically, though, it's a case study in steampunk social science.

What is Farrellitism?

The "definitions" tag was created in part because Andalusada is relatively high-concept. I'm reworking ideas as well as events, so the content of those ideas needs explaining; and while this whole blog is a Sternbildung, that doesn't justify leaving its readers in the dark. So I'm going to start with Farrellitism, for no reason other than that there's a tag for it already.

Much like IRL, there's two wings of the Reformation* - a northern one (Baltic, in the case of Guntheritism) and a southern one. That southern one, as I hinted when I introduced its pivotal figure, is the one called "Farrellite."
