Calling for Patriarch Kirill's resignation, Patriarch Bartholomew has accused the Russian Church head of supporting the alleged "political crimes" of the Moscow government.
According to a recent report, he said it would be better to resign than to support the war. He urged Patriarch Kirill to "separate himself" from Moscow authorities, "even if this means stepping down from the episcopal throne."
Meanwhile, many clergy in Ukraine have openly condemned Patriarch Bartholomew's attack on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church over the past several years, noting that his divisive actions have contributed in part to the current hostilities between Russia and Ukraine. Metropolitan Luke of Zaporozhye, a leading Ukrainian bishop, has referred to Patriarch Bartholomew as Judas, as a Turkish servant, and as an apostle of Satan.
In recent months, a number of Russian priests have been supportive of the military operation in Ukraine, seeing it as a decisive way to end hostilities which have been going on for more than eight years, ever since the Ukrainian government was illegitimately overthrown in 2014.
Cant we all get along?
LOL!
And pig face bidet is sticking our noses right in where they do not belong.
Black Bart. Is he still hanging around?
Patriarch Bart should consume a nice big cup of STFU.
When I think of a head of a church that needs to resign he’s not the one that immediately comes to mind
Your friend Kirill was an open KGB asset at the WCC and helped turn that place into a pro-Soviet “agency of influence”. You know, the Soviets, the “evil empire”?
Or do you hate Ronald Reagan, John Paul II and Maggie Thatcher also?
Kirill just followed his employers when they changed names.
But I thought Francis was on your (Pro-Russian) side?
We know what the continental Spaniards did with their clergy during the Civil War.
Which Spaniards?
The Republic or the Nationalists?
The first lot, those allied with the USSR (note: the evil empire) massacred them. The other lot saved them, and they helped run Nationalist Spain (look up Opus Dei).
(Or the Basques, often forgotten.)
In any case, there is that evil empire thing to deal with.
Your Patriarch was a collaborator with the closest thing ever to approach Orwells “If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.”
Every collaborator with that evil should have been shot decades ago.
You Spaniards collaborated with the Commies during the Civil War, and tortured and massacred holy people.
Note: Civil War
In Spain the good guys (or the less bad guys) won. Things got much better.
In Russia the bad guys (or the worst guys) won, and ruled for 70 years.
And corrupted, subverted, and crippled humanity far worse than it already was.
In any case you are distracting from my point and the OP’s. You do this because that point is irrefutable. Your pal Kirill is scum.
Spanish Commies like yourself are scum.
Now I’m a commie?
Go home, you’re drunk.
I'm pretty well read.
Throughout your entire smearfest, I've noticed how you dance clear of particular "declarations" regarding your political positions in contemporary Spain.
A In general, I support the Pepes (PP). You can call them the Spanish version of the US Republicans.
B In particular I support the Basque Nationalists, our dominant regional party. In part because of family tradition, in part because they are a conservative party in the European Christian Democrat tradition. Because of them, and of course the Basque psychology, this place is the best run part of Spain.
Could the head of thw Catholic church resign as well? He is a communist.
“When I think of a head of a church that needs to resign he’s not the on that immediately comes to mind”
Yes, it’s Pope Francis.....
“You Spaniards collaborated with the Commies during the Civil War, and tortured and massacred holy people.”
Whereas none of the Russians cooperated with communists?
