<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:IT">Studies on early Modern Greek diaspora have largely emphasized the importance of communitarian ties, as well as of the networks connecting
the members of the group to each other and to their homelands. In most of this literature the concepts of “diaspora” and “community”<i>
</i>have been applied to describe a sense of connectedness occurring from stable and religion-based bonds. The present paper goes beyond this approach to consider Orthodox mobility across the Catholic Mediterranean as a phenomenon involving the creation of
multiple relations and entangled spaces of belonging. Focusing on the long eighteenth century, this lecture illustrates how the Roman Congregation of Propaganda Fide became a central node in a Catholic “web of affiliation” in which Orthodox-Christians took
part to varying degrees. It also demonstrates how this web served Rome’s ambition to reach out to Greek diaspora communities, particularly in the Kingdom of Naples. Against this background, the group-building in diaspora will be examined as a process depending
more on shifting power and social relations than on stable religious identities. Based on the Vatican sources and a wide range of other records drawn from several state and ecclesiastical archives located in southern Italy, this lecture does not aim to offer
a Catholic counter-history of the Greek diaspora. Rather, by using the Greek experience of Catholic power as a springboard, it puts into question the primary role of religion in shaping diasporic solidarities implied by conventional notions of confessional
minority, community and diaspora.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
