Patriarch Bartholomew is called the Russian Orthodox Church “The State Instrument and the Church that compromise itself.”
Ecumenical patriarch Bartholomius condemned the actions of the Russian Orthodox Church, blessed to kill the Ukrainians. He said this on Friday, September 19, in his speech at a meeting of the Council on International Relations in New York, the press service of Ecumenical Patriarchate Reports.
It has been mentioned that patriarch Bartholomius has been called the war in Ukraine Illegal and described as a major tragedy. The “spiritual size” of the war, according to the Patriarch, was the Russian Orthodox Church who openly supported the killing of Orthodox.
Bartholomius has accused the Moscow patriarchate of “following the obsession of the” Russian world “Imperial doctrine, which began to be strengthened after the USSR collapse.”
He called the Russian Orthodox Church “the State Instrument and the Church who compromised itself” – and this is one of the reasons why the patriarchate of Constantinople supported the desire of Ukrainian citizens to have their own church and “gain wealth of freedom”.
Remember that in August of this year, the Ukraine state service for ethnopolitic and freedom of conscience recognized the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC MP) associated with the Russian Orthodox Church (Russian Orthodox Church).
