Stop making excuses for this patriarch's obvious snub of dissidents.

[MarMema]

Where was the snub? Because he didn't go to Cuba and do the politically correct thing?

Since when does the fact that he is a Patriarch make him liable for all the world's presecutions and hardships?

So every place he goes he has to seek out and speak in front of the cameras about some persecution taking place there?

I don't think so. The problem of prisoners is that of the Cuban people and Castro, not Bartholmew. The problem of consecrating a new Orthodox church belonged to Bartholomew.
