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?<br /><br />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?
