In the Schism of Montaner (Italian: Scisma di Montaner) between 1967 and 1969, almost all residents of the Italian village of Montaner renounced Catholicism and converted to Eastern Orthodoxy. This was due to a disagreement with the bishop of Vittorio Veneto, Albino Luciani, the future Pope John Paul I, over the appointment of the local priest.
