“The property STILL belongs to the church, just not the Moscow Patriarch but the Kyiv Patriarch.”
Those are not recognized or considered Orthodox by any other church in the world, all of whom recognize each other.
All are one except for them.
That Kiev group is the equivalent of a corner grocery store claiming to be an Orthodox church.
It is most definitely not the same church.
They are an outcast, they didn’t have succession from the rest of us, and they hold religious ceremonies to honor SS nazis.
“Mexico’s refusal to sanction Russia and send aid to Ukraine has offended not only Ukraine but also the U.S. Mexico’s largest trading partner by far.”
We are just bullies at large, hands down.
I am willing to bet it has nothing to actually do with cartels.
Sad.
I didn’t leave those things out.
They were not observed
I observe and present a finding
Patriarchate of Alexandria, Archbishop Ieronymos II the Primate of the Church of Greece, and Church of Cyprus recognized the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
On 5 January 2019, Bartholomew I, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, signed the tomos that officially recognized and established the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and granted it autocephaly (self-governorship).

Seriously? Its ridiculous to say that believers in the right of self-defense of households and of nations believes one should invade other countries.
You are essentially claiming. “He stole a car from a guy named Bob and gave it to different guy named Bob so he didn’t really steal it.”
Pretty damned dumb, isn’t it?
I said it and I meant it. Bloodthirsty neocons are Forever War nutjobs that call for the destruction of Russia incessantly and then as with fake innocence "Why do the Russians fear us?"
Weird example. Ukraine is a country that Putin does not have the right to partition. Period. Otherwise your opening a Pandora's Box. Every country in Europe has "historical" claims on neighboring territory.
Whatever, there are extremists on all sides. Notice how no one is calling for the "destruction" of Germany? Why? Because they are not invading neighbors. Actions have consequences. Russian imperial ambitions are causing a reaction.
‘NATO could wipe out the Russian army in Ukraine’

That is why the Belgorod is sitting off the east coast.
Are you an American?

He/she is likely American. But remember, half of the American population have IQs below 100. Just sayin’.
Please stop making up stuff. Many of the existing parties opposed Zelensky. For example, Poroshenko's Party(European Solidarity) the candidate who ran against Zelensky in the last election was not banned.
Me: So Zelensky stole it and gave it to a different church politically aligned with himself. Such a Robin Hood.
Show me anywhere the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is "aligned" with Zelensky. The Church is not political or ruled by the government like the Russian Church, whos leader Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, has told his followers that "sacrifice in the course of carrying out your military duty washes away all sins."
Me: Did you conveniently forget the Ukrainian death squads that roamed recaptured territory shooting “collaborators”
I saw collaborators were arrested. Forward me the links showing collaborators were shot.
We wake up to Neocon propaganda every day. Each new day results in numerous postings by a few nutjobs the comment to themselves or to each other. It is the worst drivel on the internet.
Why is a Turdeauxbot trying to lecture Americans about American issues? Isn’t there something better that you could be doing like figuring out how Canada could quit being a rump-state of the American empire?
Ok. You were correct. Last time I was in an Orthodox church this was not true. So now I am the one who needed updating.
Another post without content, just name calling.
Just wondering when did you idiots decide that everyone who disagrees with you is irrelevant, old, and a neocon?
If you don’t know anything of substance, why don’t you shut up and learn?
Newbie.
The 70s called and they want their foreign policy back.
Is that a Hitler quote? We all know how that turned out.
Is that a Hitler quote? We all know how that turned out.
Yes, it was. Many posters on this forum seem to be hot for war with Russia. As if Russia will be easy meat. Others have thought the same and found out otherwise.
Not all Germans saw it that way...."The German Army in fighting Russia is like an elephant attacking a host of ants. The elephant will kill thousands, perhaps even millions, of ants, but in the end their numbers will overcome him, and he will be eaten to the bone." - Colonel Bernd von Kleist
