You say he is such a strong advocate for liberation theology.

But you seem to admit there are no speeches of his that advocate for it.
He hasn’t appointed Bishops in favor of it.
There is no significant movement for it in the Russian Orthodox Church.
He has been in there a long time, why isn’t it all over the place then?

The theology, teaching, and services haven’t changed.
The creed is the same.

So what we are supposedly believe what the voices told you?
Could you have convinced yourself of something that isn’t remotely true?

I made no such admission. It is not a matter of debate: Kirill is a KGB agent who was placed on the very leftist executive board of the World Council of Churches, from whence was spread liberation theology across the world.

Here is the WCC still spreading Liberation Theology today:

Here is Kirill's history and appointment to this organization and his task in the KGB:

"Liberation theology, of which not much has been heard for two decades, is back in the news. But what is not being mentioned is its origins. It was not invented by Latin American Catholics. It was developed by the KGB. The man who is now the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, secretly worked for the KGB under the code name “Mikhailov” and spent four decades promoting liberation theology, which we at the top of the Eastern European intelligence community nicknamed Christianized Marxism.

"Liberation theology has been generally understood to be a marriage of Marxism and Christianity. What has not been understood is that it was not the product of Christians who pursued Communism, but of Communists who pursued Christians. I described the birth of liberation theology in my book Disinformation, co-authored with Professor Ronald Rychlak. Its genesis was part of a highly classified Party/State Disinformation Program, formally approved in 1960 by KGB chairman Aleksandr Shelepin and Politburo member Aleksei Kirichenko, then the second in the party hierarchy after Nikita Khrushchev.

In 1971, the KGB sent Kirill — who had just been elevated to the rank of archimandrite — to Geneva as emissary of the Russian Orthodox Church to the World Council of Churches. The WCC was, and still is, the largest international religious organization after the Vatican, representing some 550 million Christians of various denominations in 120 countries. Kirill/Mikhailov’s main task was to involve the WCC in spreading the new liberation theology throughout Latin America. In 1975, the KGB was able to infiltrate Kirill into the Central Committee of the WCC — a position he held until he was “elected” patriarch of Russia, in 2009. Not long after he joined the Central Committee, Kirill reported to the KGB: “Now the agenda of the WCC is also our agenda.”

Has the WCC done anything good since the 70s? Has Kirill, as an executive member of the WCC, ever turned that organization to anything other than a destroyer of the Christian faith in Latin America? Yes? No? Maybe so?

You also asked if Kirill has appointed any commie Bishops.

Per the KGB files that have been released from various countries, ALL leading Priests in the ROC were KGB agents, meaning not just informants, but actual officers in the security services.

The creed is the same.

When Kirill was in Cuba receiving medals and honors from Castro, who called him a friend and an ally, and Kirill gushingly praising the Castros as friends of Orthodoxy, what was his creed?

An even better question: who in Russia even gives a damn what Kirill preaches? Kirill has more fans in the US, among closet totalitarians posing as Christians, than he does in Russia, where only 7% of the population even attends church once a month!

Could you have convinced yourself of something that isn’t remotely true?
