There is also the Orthodox subplot in this mix: A mission/parish in Qatar being served by a Priest of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem has led to the Patriarchate of Antioch suspending communion with Jerusalem. The Patriarchate of Moscow joined Antioch in boycotting the “Council” held in Crete last June.
Could Qatar’s estrangement from the Arab world in part be caused by its permitting an Orthrodox presence in the Arabian peninsula?
The Patriarchates of Moscow, Antioch, and Serbia saved us from that globalist-driven robber “Council”!!!! (The Serbian Church was forced to attend but they refused to ratify the “ecumenist” documents that came out of that “Council”!)
Thus we avoided the fate of the Roman Catholic Church under Bergoglio!!!!
By the way, June 1 is the day to remember St. Justin Popovic of Celije, the chief theologian in modern times of Serbian anti-ecumenism!!! St. Justin is listed in the calendars of the Serbian, Russian, and Antiochian Churches, but NOT the OCA!!!! This is despite the OCA website often referring to “Justin Popovich’s” writings! There are still too many ecumenists and closet Uniates in the cabal that runs much of the OCA.
St. Justin of Celije, pray to God for us!!!!
I doubt that. There are a few churches around including a very beautiful Orthodox church in Sharjah, UAE, a a church cluster in Muscat Oman that includes Catholic and Protestant churches. Don't think that is the reason.
