Ecumenical Patriarch to Biden: Citizens of the Whole Free World Welcome Your Victory
Orthodox Times ^ | 11/10/20

Posted on 11/10/2020 6:31:26 PM PST by marshmallow

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!”

What does Bartholomew think about the claims of Ashley Biden, who said that her father Joe Biden molested her as a child.

Does the Ecumenical Patriarch realize he is praising a child molester?

As an Orthodox Christian, I am deeply ashamed of this suck up to a pro-baby killer and child molester pervert. It’s not just the top of the political food chain that has been corrupted. It’s so very much of the top officials of so many institutions that have been corrupted.
President Trump stands nearly alone against these forces of corruption and evil. Yet, he stands. Fighting every minute of every day against extreme odds.

The Greek Orthodox supposedly are anti abortion and believe that life begins at conception, yet this moron praises and supports a guy and a party that believe it’s OK to kill a baby even after delivery.

So much for principles.
