ReplyDelete"You can not get through the massive PR campaign the Ukrainian's have put together..."
ReplyDeleteWell yes, but not solely due to any *inherent* strength of said PR campaign (and it is good - Zenlisky is a media expert and master at playing on the biases and beliefs of western liberals of all kinds: Euro, progressive's, conservatives, republican's, democrats, etc.).
The greater part as to why this lawyer will not make any significant progress in getting the MP affiliated Orthodox in Ukraine a hearing within the Western political culture is:
1) ALL the liberals (both left and right) in America and Europe have an Existential fear of the Russian Bear - does not matter if this fear is rational or not.
2) ALL the liberals (both left and right) in America and Europe make indescribable amounts of $money$ finding reasons to keep the military industrial complex in high gear
3) ALL the liberals (both left and right) in America and Europe will always side with a liberal ecclesiology, and the EP/OCU (for now) represent the 'national determination' side of things. Heck, so does the MP/UOC in their own (slightly older) way, not that there is a consistent/coherent ecclesiology of "autocephaly", "autonomy", and unity in the Orthodox Church since you know...wait for it...the fall of the Roman Empire ;)
