This is an interesting letter, but I don't understand why it's in English. Do Constantinople and Ukraine use English as their language of communication?

ReplyDeleteA lot has happened since Easter on May 1st, 2016. For example, Archbishop Job is in Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteAs for the language, EP written contact with Ukraine is and has been in Ukrainian but usually the Ukrainian versions, Greek versions and English versions are posted on the official web site. Where is the link to the web site for this letter? Why is addressed to the Prime Minister instead of the President?
The EP has no jurisdiction in the internal affairs of the Russian or Ukrainian Church. Any attempt to interfere will be its final undoing.
ReplyDeleteThe Orthodox world cannot soon enough be rid of the Pretender-Pope Bart of Istanbul. His clutching acqusitiveness would do a politician proud.
ReplyDeletePlease pay attention to the following:
ReplyDelete1) This letter is dated Holy Pascha 2015, making it over a year old.
2) It is addressed to Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who resigned as prime minister and was replaced by Vladimir Groisman on April 14, 2016 (before Holy Pascha of this year).
If this is real news, it's old news, too old to be directly linked to the current discussion about who can grant Ukraine autonomy.
The comment some have is that what Met. Job had to say was unrelated to anything Constantinople has ever said. It seems Constantinople has been saying similar things for well over a year.
DeleteWow, I didn't think of it that way. That's a very good point. Thank you, Father!
DeleteBut "Josephus Flavius" you still have not explained where you got this image scan of a letter and where is the original. The EP has repeatedly said that Constantinople is the Mother Church of Ukraine. Producing a year old scan of a letter without a source only muddies the waters and causes confusion.
DeleteOh, it was sent to me on Facebook.
