This is of course consistent with the Ecumenical Patriarch's contention that everything outside patriarchal boundaries are "barbarian lands" and so under Constantinople. Do follow the tweets link if you want even more strident language.
#DidYouKnow: The Orthodox churches in Europe, America, Australia, and Britain lie within the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

ReplyDeleteIt's a pity that the Patriarch of Constantinople doesn't pay attention to history. If he id the he would know Australia is under Moscow's jurisdiction as they were here first in 1805 (I think) with a number of subsequent visits including the celebration of Pascha with the Governor of the colony present.

Fr Paul: Sad to say, the Constantinople claim is that history is irrelevant. Russia was first on the North American continent too. The CP claim is that ancient canons give them jurisdiction over the whole world outside the bounds of the former Roman Empire.
