(Romfea) - Α delegation of the Ecumenical Patriarchate met Archbishop Ieronymos in order to discuss the position intended to be taken by the Church of Greece on the issue of autocephaly of the Ukrainian Church.
The meeting lasted more than an hour, and the only issue delegated by the Patriarch to be discussed was the autocephaly issue.
Metropolitan Emmanuel of France and Metropolitan Amphilochios of Adrianople discussed with the Archbishop, exchanging views on the matter and expressing their concerns on both sides.
Archbishop Ieronymos assured them that he was paying close attention to the issue and the next plenary meeting of the Hierarchy would decide what would be the official position of the Church of Greece.

The representatives of the EP need to convince the OCU to accept the terms of the Tomos. Filaret is not a retired Metropolitan; they foreign parishes are not transferring into the EP; and the OCU is opening new foreign missions.
ReplyDeleteThe next Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, (Emmanuel), is on an international tour on behalf of Bartholomew in an attempt to strong-arm the other Churches to accept this Ukrainian abomination!
ReplyDeleteThis is starting to feel less like a ‘let’s fix this because we’re all on the same side’ situation and more like a ‘who is going to follow EPB off the deep end?’ So far its EPB and the schismatics vs the world. But sadly it’s inevitable that good portion of the Greeks, at least the GOA, will follow the sirens call of Hellenism and primacy.
ReplyDeleteSojourner,
ReplyDeleteI agree. The Church in Albania admitted that the EP was wrong BUT they will still be with him in case of a lasting schism.
It’s depressing to see how partisanship trumps truth and law not only in politics but ecclesiastically. It’s apposite to cite politics because the Fener is plugging into virulent Russophobia which has been ginned up in the sphere of US influence as a countermeasure to lockstep republican support for a criminal president.
DeleteThis era in which we live sees truth and lies as conventions dependent on affiliation, ‘alternate facts’. Nauseating.

This Metr who achieved such notoriety in decades past for his writing on ‘Orthodox Psychotherapy’ seems to have forgotten his basic education in critical thinking and rhetoric. His argument is a false syllogism. Should a priest recuse himself from commuting to his parish if he tells his 16 yr old daughter that she shouldn’t take a road trip with her friends?
Hopefully Greece sticks with Orthodoxy and tells the Phanar "oxi."
