[QUOTE="The Liturgist, post: 76620845, member: 424341"] What “Orthodox sock puppets”? I know of no Orthodox clergy who have explicitly endorsed the war (Patriarch Kyrill’s remarks could in fact be interpreted in an anti-war context), and many Ukrainian Orthodox priests in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is an autonomous part of the Russian Orthodox Church - Moscow Patriarchate, have condemned the war, with no repercussions. Also, if the Moscow Patriarchate was really in Putin’s pocket, as some claim, they would surely recognize the autocephaly of the Abkhazian and South Ossetian Orthodox churches or incorporate them into their own church. Instead they regard them as schismatics intruding in the canonical territory of the Georgian Orthodox Church. [/QUOTE]
