Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew sent a congratulatory letter to the newly elected 46th President of the United States of America, Joseph Biden.
“The joy and enthusiasm for your electoral victory are merely personal sentiments. They are also shared by our Ecumenical Patriarchate and its eparchies across the world, and above all by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America with its commendable Shepherd, Archbishop Elpidophoros – and I remain grateful for the love and esteem with which you have embraced him. But beyond our Patriarchate, there are millions of Americans, as well as citizens of the entire free world, to whom you now offer hope (I could say conviction) for a better future, where the eternal values and ideals of a civilized humanity may prevail.”
The Ecumenical Patriarch recalled, in his letter, the long involvement of the Ecumenical Throne with the issues of the protection of the natural environment and ways of tackling climate change. The Patriarch expressed His satisfaction and joy at the initiatives that the newly elected President is prepared to take on this urgent issue, as he has already announced, with a view to joining the Paris Agreement and guaranteeing a cleaner environment.
“Those looking to you are those who thirst for religious freedom, those whose human rights are trampled, and those who yearn for freedom and justice. And there are so many of them! They also include the historical religious communities of the Middle East, who aspire to peaceful coexistence. Mr. President, may God be with you!”

Man, he can gush, can’t he? My church is under the EP, but I don’t feel obligated to listen to nonsense.
NOPE it’s the commies rejoicing.
Don’t worry patriarch we are taking care of it
Except, of course, for myself and 72 million friends who are apparently destined for the gulag!
How Patriarchal.
Well done.
As demented as Joe
Wait until all those “citizens of the entire free world” learn the Daughter of Stalin is poised to become POTUS and enslave us all.
He’s an archbishop who is more political than religious.
The dear Archbishop will look forward to what Biden will do for Christianity.
You’ll see more terror and more killing of Christians in the Middle East.
When Greece is taken over by the Turks, what will this stupid ecumenist think then.
Now that you know the man, beware the person who praises him.
