The uniate Greek Catholic Church in Poland-Lithuania emerged from it. Most of the Orthodox clergy and the Orthodox nobility oppose the union in its intended form. On October 6th, their representatives, including Bishop Gedeon Balaban of Lviv and Bishop Michael Kopystynski of Przemysl , will have their own meeting in Brest .

The two Orthodox bishops are declared deposed by the United Church on October 10th and banned ( anathema ). King Sigismund III deprives them of all spiritual rights.
