That’s propaganda. See ewtn.com/v/experts/showmessage.asp?number=329700
Why would any EO Patriarch put Moscow Patriarch in line. ROC is the biggest donor and helper of the Orthodox Churches. For example, they gave 30 millions euros donation to the Serbian Church to finish building it’s main cathedral. The Churches of Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria were literally saved in 19th century because of the donations made by the Russian Emperors and the Russian Church.
There was the reason why I said temporarily, I was just making the point that they tried to implement the council , but eventually failed , poor wording on my part .
I was thinking that it was “open season on Orthodoxy” once more, but this time with more arrows flying in the opposite direction as well.Depends who you ask aoiusa.org/russia-fights-for-christianity-in-syria-the-us-fights-against-it/:Plus, what Moscow Patriarch does in his own jurisdiction is not the concern of other Patriarchs. At least he did not call for crusade
Let’s hope they don’t sack Constantinople
Or Fanar to be more precise. lolSays you. Unitatis Redintegratio specifically breaks with the Augustinian tradition of regarding baptisms outside of the church as valid but ineffectual which was predominant in the West. Indeed, if you read the words of the theologians who drafted it, it’s quite clear that this was their intention.
What is a Byzantine?
Indeed, they often made compromises, and those who did found themselves condemned, just as Pope Honorius found himself condemned.
The irony of such words. I would agree, yes, that some tried compromising with heretics after the schism. One very famous incident occurred under the reign of Michael VIII, and another under the reign of John VIII. Thankfully, God preserved them from the monstrous heresies to which those two emperors submitted.
Or Ukraine, Georgia, Latvia, Finland, Bulgaria, Armenia, Denmark, the Syriac Patriarchate, the Assyrian or Chaldean Patriarchate, the Melkite Patriarchate, the Maronite Patriarchate or any other area where these terrorists aren’t.Let’s hope they don’t sack Constantinople
There may be differences of opinion among Orthodox about residual jurisdiction of the “Patriarch of Rome”. Some very knowledgeable Orthodox have said the “Patriarch of Rome” would have jurisdiction over the city of Rome and some portion of the surrounding countryside only. But in any event, and whatever his jurisdiction might be, he would be Orthodox, not Catholic.
I am not sure I would credit Russia with being the saving Crusader yet. We don’t know yet what Putin’s plan is. Suffice it to say he could have gone to the Christians’ defense back when they were not all killed or gone, but didn’t. Right now, his alliance is with Iran in defense of an Iranian agent, Assad.
The Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch praised Russian intervention. So i praise it too. They know their situation better than us. Especially his holiness Patriarch John X, who’s brother was kidnapped at the beginning of the war, before the Islamic State emerged, but those “moderate” opposition did it. He was/is metropolitan of Allepo, where “revolution” against Assad’s “tyranny” started.
What exactly are you referring to?
One could reasonably expect both.
Russian Orthodox Church was blessed and received Apostolic Succession from all 4 Ancient Orthodox Patriarchates.
