Macron turned to the Russian Orthodox Church

The French president said the Russian church “allows the authorities to manipulate itself.”

French President Emmanuel Macron said the Russian Orthodox Church was allowing the country’s authorities to manipulate itself to justify the war in Ukraine, and urged him to resist such pressure. Reuters writes about it.

Macron, who is on an official visit to Italy, delivered the keynote speech at an international conference organized by the Italian Community of Sant’Egidio, an international group for peace and charity.

The “number two” of the Russian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Anthony, sat in the front row of the conference room with other religious leaders during Macron’s speech.

An important part of his speech at the conference, called Call for Peace, the French president focused on Ukraine.

“Religious leaders also play the role of resistance when faced with the absurdity of these events. We know very well how the Orthodox religion today has been manipulated by those in power in Russia to justify their actions . The fight against it is necessary,” Macron said.

After Macron’s speech, journalists approached Metropolitan Anthony in the conference room, but he refused to comment.

However, Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Serhiy Kyslytsya on Twitter expressedthat no one from the Kremlin is “manipulating” the Russian Orthodox Church so that its leadership and priests justify the Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine, as French President Emmanuel Macron said. The ROC is an integral part of the Kremlin regime.

“What matters is him [РПЦ] no one manipulates, it is an integral part of the criminal regime,” the diplomat explained to foreign partners, his subscribers and media readers.

Recall that the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, supported Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. His stance also caused a split in the Vatican and unleashed an internal rebellion that led to the severing of ties between some local Orthodox churches and the Russian Orthodox Church. Later, he said that death in the war in Ukraine “washes away sins.”
