Just see how easily this "patriot" justifies the direct involvement of the state authorities in Church affairs... In my opinion, one couldn't and shouldn't unite our Orthodox Christian brethren except of themselves. If Constantinople was able to restore its jurisdiction over Ukraine and wanted...

Forgive me a sinner!

On November 16, 2017 unrecognized Patriarch Filaret (Denisenko) of Kyiv and all Rus-Ukraine wrote a letter of reconciliation and communion to the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). But two weeks later he denied any apologies or formal unity with the ROC. The OCP Media Network's contributor tries to...

Same sex marriage is lawful since now and such couples can also adopt children according to this law. Very dark black gloomy day for Finland indeed... (From Facebook post I've encountered)

Elizabeth Johnston, an Ohio homeschooling mother of 10 who runs the popular conservative blog "The Activist Mommy," told The Christian Post on Tuesday that Facebook suspended her account earlier this month because she wrote about how Leviticus condemns homosexuality as "detestable" and an...

The article linked in Svitlana's post cited Dr. Ines Murzaku. “Interference and pressure to excommunicate might sound more as rules/jurisdiction that apply in the West,” Murzaku elaborated. “The patriarch might be viewed by many as ‘the Pope of the East’ or ‘Orthodox Pope’” with this level of...

Glad to see Vatican distances oneself from Ukrainian issue. One shouldn't expect it will help Orthodox Christians to settle their difficulties sincerely. What seems to be more interesting to me is that Roman Catholic scholar has not only confirmed validity of our concerns over the Cretan...

Well, even Roman Catholic professor of Ecclesiastical History has acknowledged that Patriarch Bartholomew's mode of action toward other Autocephalous Churches is more like Western than Orthodox one! What other proof is needed?

I've encountered it here.

Unfortunately, it has been already discussed here, just a dozen posts above: Ecumenical Patriarch says those who "rebel" against the Council of Crete must be dealt with. Another translation of the letter can hardly dispel concerns over its content and canonical meaning. So, your "fake news"...

This is what they found (as well questions of mine that prevent me from acknowledging that EP's letter is OK): 1. Contrary to what many have falsely suggested, the Ecumenical Patriarch is not transgressing the independence of the Church of Greece; he is following proper protocol by asking...

According to the Orthodox Christian Network, the Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham recently commissioned a careful and thorough translation of Prot. No. 1153 to understand the true purpose and intent. This is what they found: 1. Contrary to what many have falsely suggested, the...

Praying!

Sad story... May God return all those who were misguided to the Church!

On the other hand, it's nothing to be surprised at. It's quite reasonable that those who share the same groundwork, comprise the One Body of Christ. And those who went from this basis due to canonical violations and lack of humility, continue with moving in different directions, separating and...

Indeed, it's amazing how peaceful relationships between canonical Churches are, in spite of all disputes and differences among them, and how much hatred flows from schismatics, even those who -s-e-e-k-... no, who rather fight for canonical recognition/independence and speak of unity, forgiveness...

I can understand German and Ukrainian a little bit, so I can try to tell you what I've found about this person. First, there was a priest named Petro in the Evloghios Hessler's heretical "Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of Milan, Western Europe, and the Americas" (aka "The Holy Synod of Milan")...

As to the participating in the Templar's events, none of the priest I know would go there for sure.

However, it would be good to have some evidences...
