This is tragic; and voting regarding church affiliation based on secular government loyalties is a fundamental misunderstanding (and betrayal) of the Orthodox Faith. Patriarch Bartholomew will have much to answer for, given that he did not, and does not, have the authority to take churches, people, or property from the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Moscow. He is responsible for introducing a schism. How can anyone possibly justify such a thing?
As for the "recognition" of the Ukrainian schism by Secretary of State Pompeo, does anyone else believe that this is a craven act based on worldly politics, and is about as far from the Kingdom of Heaven as one can get? Lord, have mercy!
Sadly we’re witnessing a new Cold War, instigated by America, in which religious sabotage is being leveraged as much as financial and military options.
This is sadly part of a very common occurrence in Kosovo. Vandals enter churches, set them on fire, then they urinate and defecate in them. ...
"The World is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide."
Lord, have mercy.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an obvious propaganda piece. Lord have mercy on the suffering Ukrainians who are being used as a political bargaining chip.
