Brothers and Sisters - Russians have split and gone their own way.

Biggest split since 1054.

Russia is no longer in communion with Orthodoxy!

Sorry, but what this proves and shows us all is the fact that we are dealing with a very dangerous Narcissist in pootin.

This man is very dangerous. Make no mistake about it.

If he is willing to desecrate the faith of millions of people - his own people - to pursue his own political agendas in the Ukraine, then there is nothing more to say.

It also proves what has been true for nearly a hundred years. Russia is trying to subjugate, and destroy all Ukrainian institutions in a systematic way. This is no different to what Turkey is doing to the northern part of Cyprus with its looting and destruction of Church's monasteries and cultural sites.

Just like the Holodomor where Russia attempted the total genocide of the Ukrainian people by famine which claimed the lives of between 3.3 to 7.5 million Ukrainians to a slow and agonizing and brutal death just before WW2. This is the biggest genocide in human history probably on par to The Jewish Holocaust.

That is why the Ukrainians sided with the Nazis only a few years after. Not because they are fascist but they found an opportunity to side with Russia's enemy which made them Ukraine's friend.

So what are your thoughts about Russia's politicization of an entire religion over the Autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church from under the Russian Patriarch?

With this schism, the Orthodox religion is in dire straights. Perhaps it may never recover, but they are resilient and perhaps seen far worse over the centuries, including persecution.

The reason why I mention this:

Pootin, who portrays himself as being super religious, has almost destroyed Orthodox Christianity with one foul swoop by flexing his muscle over holding Ukrainian Orthodoxy to ransom as they have done with all Ukrainian Institutions and even their sovereignty.

The Orthodox Religion is now facing some big challenges. They have gone from 300 million adherents to perhaps 100 million if they are lucky.

I have no thoughts and I simply don't care.
I posted the link for anyone interested to get an idea. There's nothing in there about Putin.
It's all between the clergy.

Yes most people don’t care. Because they want religion destroyed. That’s ok.

But there is a deeper issue. A religious person would not hold the faith to ransom. This is a faith with millions of adherents.

Pootin has proved his willingness to use Orthodoxy as a political pawn, against Ukraine which has as much right to autocephaly as everyone else. Pootin is right behind this through the Russian Patriarchate alright. His fingerprints are all over it.

Plus their desire to take down the EP in Constantinople and take control.

Since you are on the subject, it seems the prophecy foretold by the Greek monks is coming true.

It was said that when you start hearing about 6 miles on the news ( The Turks invading Greek / Cypriot EEZ for gas) it will be the beginning of their end.

If what you say has any substance about Constantinople and Russia, it was also foretold that the Russians will give the city back to Greece once it has all be said and done.

It doesn't look like the Russians want to give anything back.

This is a power play by Moscow. It's about power and control.
