So how many Orthodox churches will be in Ukraine? Reaction of Constantinople (Istanbul)

Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew responded to the requests of Petro Poroshenko to create a single autocephalous church in Ukraine, that is, to actually recognize the UOC of the Kiev Patriarchate, which is currently considered divisive. From the statement of Bartholomew (quoted by UNIAN):

According to the Divine and Holy Canons, as well as the age-old church order and the Holy Tradition, the Ecumenical Patriarchate is interested in preserving the general Orthodox unity and care for the Orthodox Churches throughout the world, especially the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which received Christianity from the Constantinople and saving baptism. Thus, as a true mother church, the Ecumenical Patriarchate considered issues relating to the church situation in Ukraine.

According to the Patriarch of Constantinople, he intends to start discussing this issue with the "sister churches."

Recall that in Ukraine there are two Ukrainian Orthodox churches. One of them - the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate - recognized in the world, the other - the UOC of the Kyiv Patriarchate (not officially recognized in the world).

Recently, the President of Ukraine, speaking in the Rada, said that Ukraine is close to receiving its autocephalous church. He also met with the head of the UOC-MP, Metropolitan Onufri of Kiev. From the message press service UOC MP:

The President informed His Beatitude about his visit to Istanbul, where he met with the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and members of the Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. The President of Ukraine and the Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church exchanged views on the intensification of interfaith dialogue in Ukraine.

Details of the reaction of Onufriy Poroshenko’s initiative is not given. Recall that under the constitution Ukraine is a secular state, and the president, by definition, cannot interfere in church affairs. But who in Ukraine ever paid attention to the constitution? ..

Quote: Teberii

hardly going to conflict

Firstly, the Ecumenical Patriarch is not in essence, but in name. Moreover, not even planetary, not even the solar system, but the Ecumenical Residents of Proxima Centauri will be greatly surprised. The Patriarch of Constantinople itself cannot even be called that way; there was no city with that name. The city was called New Rome, then it was renamed to Istanbul. Worse than the Greek priests, liars do not exist. They declared the Eastern Roman Empire Byzantium, and New Rome in the Greek manner by Constantinople was the most ridiculous, much later, after the fall of this city and state. Of course on the pages of their little books. There is also doubt whether they belong to the Greeks. The Romans replaced the Macedonian empire in the region, which ceased the Persian Empire, which in turn captured Interfluve, Anatolia and Egypt. Outwardly, these Greek priests are blackish, which is not characteristic of either the Romans, Hellenes, Persians, or even the Egyptians, and let the black wigs of the Egyptians and mummies of the pharaohs not bother them. Also, the cult of these priests is very doubtful, here the venomous venom, in the form of bones, strange nightly rituals, etc. are revered. Russia never obeyed the Patriarch Romeev, did not use either Latin or Greek mov. Immediately used the Russian language. The Nikon schism is connected with the intrigues of these people when they wanted the Holy Russian Church to subjugate these Greek priests. Therefore, one can expect everything from these people, the schism of the Russian and Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia has been overcome, a complex process is now under way to overcome differences with the Old Believers. And these are interested in the weakness of aftokephaly, for their significance.

ROCOR, these are the ones that Adika blessed on a campaign against the USSR? Wonderful partners, you can’t say anything.
Well, about the plot it’s wonderful of course, the main thing is not to remove the cap from the foil =)

[hrych]

The Ecumenical Patriarch generally collaborated with the Ottomans, Islamists and Satanists. Therefore, the NSDAP against their background does not look much worse. And the fact that now the French invasion of 1812 is perceived calmly, and Napoleon is respected, so time heals. The participants of the last Great War are still alive, and 30-40 years will pass and the indicated character of German history will be noted in the textbooks as a great military leader and effective manager. Especially since the Germans have African-Arab friends who profess the dogma of killing infidels and crippling children with rituals, they will soon recall the past military valor and at least Christian values. It is also time to overcome the church schism and ethnic strife of all Europeans against the background of obscurantism and the invasion of others. And finally remember that "They fought for Odin."

[Ushly_bashkort]

I don’t remember Napoleon arranging genocides and dividing people into varieties.

[hrych]

You just need to carefully read the story. Then it was the norm, Africans were transported in the holds, the Chinese were poisoned with opium, and Napoleon was forced to rip open the belly of the Arabs in the Egyptian company, so that they would not hide pearls and gems in their stomachs. One way or another, they did not consider anyone but Europeans to be people at all, even before the advent of racial theories. Napoleonic hordes were atrocities no less, there was simply less time and space seized, there was no front along the road to Moscow, then they fled back along this road. Burned villages and cities, slaughtered peasants and townspeople. True, almost all were killed and only the Emperor returned with a bunch of guards.

The city was called New Rome, then it was renamed Istanbul ... They declared the Eastern Roman Empire Byzantium ...

Mixed into a bunch of horses and people. The city was originally called Bisanton (Byzantium), then Constantinople (in the 5-6 centuries, the name New Rome was simultaneously used), then Istanbul.
As for the history of the Byzantine Empire itself, read anyone other than Fomenko.

Russia never obeyed the Patriarch of Romeev, did not use either Latin or Greek mov.

Finally funny. First, Russia (in the form of Kievan Rus) received the Christianity of the Eastern rite from Byzantium, and not from a vacuum. Secondly, the Moscow Patriarchate has historically been an impostor. Read at least the “History of the Russian Church” by N. Nikolsky (the Soviet textbook for the historical faculties of universities) or the “Historical Path of Orthodoxy” by Protopresbyter Schmeman (although he is from the white emigrants - ROCOR, but a very respected person in Orthodoxy).
Regarding "Mova", the Old Slavic language is much closer to Ukrainian than modern Russian (Russian developed more).

[hrych]

So you are a typical victim of the propaganda of the Greek priests, when the Romans and the Roman Empire were identified with the Greeks and their filthy names and language. I repeat, Constantine built a city under the sole name New Rome, he had no other name. And the Roman will never call the city the Greek name and speak their language, there is its own Latin. Everything else is the accepted name of historiography, which, by the way, is not hidden. This time. Also, the pro-Greek PVL explicitly says that Christianity in Russia begins with the Apostle Andrew. The official translation by Kiryukha and Mythodius was made into Church Slavonic. Vladimir, however, was not baptized according to the Eastern rite, but according to the rite of the Roman Orthodox Church, but in the Slavic language, and not in Latin, and even less so in Greek. Orthodoxy is a purely Russian term; it has an indirect meaning to Roman Orthodox. In fact, the baptism of Rus did not occur according to the traditions of the orthodox. The difference between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Orthodox is huge, in particular, we have our own saints, such as Alexander Nevsky, Andrey Bogolyubsky, the same Vladimir, Boris, Gleb, etc. I don’t even want to speak about your Ukrainian language, because there isn’t language, and a mixture of the artificial Polish-Hungarian language of the Galicians and the Surzhik of the Little Russians is not the same thing. Ancient Russian from modern Russian is practically no different and any Russian can read the text of medieval Russia without difficulty. As dobatyevskie chronicles, "The Word of Igor’s Regiment", "Zadonshchina" and other monuments of ancient Russian literature. There is also Church Slavonic language, it is already slightly different, it is close to South Slavic, i.e. to Serbo-Bulgarian, but by no means unequivocally. On mov, a helicopter is a helicopter, what else to talk about. Surzhik yes, there is a place to be, but he is closer to Russian than to Polish, although the Polish language is related.

Why are the Greeks "filthy"? How did they offend you so much?

Quote: hrych

In Rome, there was an opinion that we defeated Greece at the military-political level, and she defeated us culturally. In the sense that already by 100. after R.X. Greek culture was perceived in Rome as a sign of good taste. Knowledge of Greek was a must for an educated person. In all the rich Roman homes, the teachers were Greek. Read at least the Soviet manual for universities, "People, manners, customs of ancient Greece and Rome" by L. Vinnichuk. Greek was the common language for most of the Roman Empire (therefore, most of the epistles of the apostles are written in Greek), such as Russian in the USSR.

Quote: hrych

Vladimir, however, was not baptized according to the Eastern rite, but according to the rite of the Roman Orthodox Church, but in the Slavic language, and not in Latin, and especially not in Greek

During the baptism of Vladimir, the Western and Eastern Christian churches were still not completely divided. Although there were already theological differences and the struggle for primacy in the Christian world. The cut of the priests' clothes, language and order of service also varied. As for the baptism of Vladimir, I did not mention him at all. Read my comment carefully. It said that "Kievan Rus received Christianity of the Eastern rite from Byzantium", i.e. what in fact we have.

You simply juggle the words “Orthodox” and “Orthodox”, without taking into account their specific meaning in the religious aspect. "Orthodoxy" is a truly purely Russian term. But, it is on 100% is synonymous with the word "orthodox" in the case of the designation of the church. In all but the countries of the former USSR, the "Orthodox" world, the "Orthodox" church is called the "Orthodox Church." By the way, "orthodox" is a Greek and not a Latin word)) and this is by no means a curse word. Your negativity to the word "orthodoxy" comes purely from its modern understanding, the root of which is precisely the liberal rejection of firm convictions. The Roman church calls itself ecumenical (Catholic). In general, to avoid all this leapfrog with self-names, historians now most often use the concepts of "Church of the Eastern Rite" and "Church of the Western Rite".

Quote: hrych

The official translation by Kiryukha and Mythodius was made in Church Slavonic ... I don’t even want to talk about your Ukrainian language, because there is no such language, and the mixture of artificial Polish-Hungarian is not the same among Galicians and Surzhik of Little Russians.

As for the "MOV", then it is as mine as yours. Just unlike most of the inhabitants of the site, I do not suffer from great-power chauvinism and do not try to pass off wishful thinking by pulling an owl on a globe. For that matter, the Church Slavonic is closer to modern Ukrainian than to modern Russian. An example from the Synodal translation of the Bible: “Then come and judge, saith the Lord. If your sins are like scarlet, they will be white like snow; if they are red like purple, like wave I’ll whitewash. ”The majority of modern Russian-speaking readers have no idea that the word“ wave ”here means wool. Whereas for those who know Ukrainian, this is not a problem, because“ Vova ”is wool in Ukrainian. And there are many such examples.
Regarding the "helicopter" - this is generally a juggle. Because loan words, that in Russian, that in Ukrainian, that in any other language - a huge amount. And this has nothing to do with the ancient Slavic linguistic roots. By the way, in the Ukrainian language, the word helicopter has several synonyms, for example, "gvintokryl".

I’m not talking about the Macedonians who conquered Egypt, Persia, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, etc. I’m talking about people called the Greeks of the last 500 years who have nothing to do with the Macedonians. Rome can indeed be considered a successor of the Macedonian heritage in cultural terms, which is called ancient culture. But the fact that the Greek tradition of orthodox obscurantism, known to us today, is propagating to ancient culture, philosophy, architecture and sciences has nothing to do. Their racial identity is also questionable. This is something disgusting in comparison with the same Russian Orthodox Church, where Russian culture reigns with the remnants of Roman culture hailing from Constantinople. What do you say about the ancient Greek language, about Greek (most likely Macedonian) scholars revered in Rome, like, say, how ancient sculpture, busts and bas-reliefs do not refer to the current Greek priests and not to Greece, as a territorial entity. Alexandria became the main center of ancient culture, and it was in Egypt, where the Macedonians brought all the wisdom from Egypt and the Persian Empire (where Egypt actually belonged). Therefore, the Macedonians created the ancient culture from the symbiosis of the centers subject to the Macedonians, which were inherited by the Ptolemies and Seleucids. Whose traditions Rome continued by conquering Egypt, etc. And now we return to the so-called Late Greeks, who went to the Ottomans as a whole (before that, the so-called Greeks helped the Ottomans against the Romans). Geographically, how the present Greece was captured by the Ottomans in 1453, and gained independence in 1830. Everything, then we deal with the new Greeks, with the new Greek language (not Macedonian, not ancient Greek), the new Greek culture, which has nothing to do with antiquity, the orthodox tradition with black robes, dark rooms, the cult of bones and decay predominates here, mournful chants, etc.

So nobody argues with this. Where in my comment there was even a hint of modern Greeks (although why I don’t like them, I still don’t understand). Read carefully what I am writing about. Namely, that Byzantium (East Roman Empire) was a bridge through which religion and culture of the "West" of that time))) got into Kievan Rus and then spread further to all small, white and great, etc. etc.

[hrych]

If you take Wikipedia and immediately pay attention to Byzantium, where:
Byzantine Empire, Byzantine Empire, Eastern Roman Empire, self-name Roman Empire Those. the Romans themselves, i.e. the Romans called their empire of course Roman, with the capital New Rome. The old Russian name of the Romans, also historical juggling, just not to be called simply the Romans. And so there is a substitution of concepts, literary magicians. A similar situation with the new Russians, i.e. people of a certain nationality tried to capture the legacy of the Rus, including their name. It’s just that the Russians didn’t allow this, the political situation has changed and the term has disappeared by itself. And it was by the standards of history zilch. The same situation with these privatizers, they called themselves Greeks, by the way the Greeks did not call themselves Greeks, they called themselves Hellenes , but not on the territory where mountain goats walk. The empire, as you know, was called the Macedonian, but while Alexander was still alive, then the dyadohs were divided into their own states. Territorial Greece itself was captured by Philip. Closer to the topic. Let's go back to Wikipedia, not to Fomenko, as you put it, but to the official history:
The name "Byzantine" the Eastern Roman Empire received in the writings of Roman historians (Priscus, Malchus, Jordan) immediately after its emergence - in this way they contrasted it with the Western, Hesperian Empire, and after the fall of the latter in 476, the term actually went out of use. Western European historians returned it to scientific use after the fall of Byzantium. The adjective “Byzantine” comes from the original name of Constantinople - Byzantium (Greek Βυζάντιον, Latin Byzantium), where the Roman emperor Constantine I transferred the capital of the Roman Empire in 330, officially renaming the city “New Rome” [3]. The Byzantines themselves called themselves Romans - in Greek, “Romans” [3], and their power - the "Roman (" Rome ") empire" (in the Greek (Byzantine) language - Βασιλεία Ῥωμαίων, Vasily Romemeon) or briefly “Romany” (анией , Romania). Western sources for most of Byzantine history called it the "empire of the Greeks."
Those. the unequivocal conclusion is that the Romans called themselves Romans, the Roman Emperor Constantine built the city of New Rome (by the way, not in the place of Byzantium or still later villages, but in the place of Troy, because the Romans considered themselves descendants of the Trojans, Alexander the Great observed the ruins of Troy, and the foundation of his fortress was built the fortress of Tsargrad itself, and not the slop hill of Gisarlyk that the fraudster Schlieman was digging and gave out fakes for Priam’s treasures). And everyone called Constantinople, Byzantium, etc., but not the Romans themselves, i.e. the Romans. And the term Byzantine Empire appeared ... after the fall of New Rome and the Roman Empire. In addition to the new Russians (not accustomed), there are Romania and Romanians, i.e. some people called themselves Romania, and themselves romances, i.e. by the Romans, moreover, the world community recognized this, and the language of the Mauiform was called Roman, and after all, no one canceled Latin. Then another Romans appeared - the Romans My incompetent opinion is that the Greeks of today and the Greeks are ancient, the same kindred as the Romanians, but the Romans to the Romans. There is absolutely no ethnic affinity, no common language, no common culture, no imperial building mentality and military organization and valor.

Can there be these ... descendants of the great warriors and imperials of antiquity

Surzhik is a true Little Russian, if you want the Ukrainian language. But this is ... the Russian language, this is a dialect of the Russian language. A mov was written by the Austrians 100 years ago. Quote but about another surzhik:

........ In the museum of T. G. Shevchenko there is his passport and it is clearly written there - THE ORTHODOX Little Russian!
And in the passports of Ivan Franko and Lesya Ukrainka (Kosach) there is a record RUSIN and RUSINKA!
And in the universal to the Cossacks B. Khmelnitsky writes: "I command the hereditary Russian nobleman ...."
A.G. The frying pan wrote to himself: "I am a barefoot Russian philosopher" (citations).
I.Franko wrote in his diary: "Today I was vitally formed (insulted - Polish.) They called me a Ukrainian, although everyone knows that I am RUSIN (quote).

This is not the mother Church for Ukraine; for her we are the mother, the ancient independent patriarchy. And the general principle in Orthodoxy is collegiality. The Russian Church will not give consent in any way, so the venture is empty or, if Constantinople persists, fraught with a new split.

Recall that in Ukraine there are two Ukrainian Orthodox churches.

In Ukraine there is only one Orthodox Church! A sect organized by the state, where right-wing militants and the heavenly thousand are worshiped as saints, and which is led by former priests who were shamefully excommunicated for not observing church principles, schism and passion for personal enrichment due to the church treasury, cannot be considered a church by definition.
It remains to note that the Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew, whom the Ukrainian authorities so tearfully refer to not by status, is the head of one of the smallest parishes in the world of Orthodoxy. In view of this, this dwarf patriarchy is constantly in need of money, is fed from the hands of the State Department and is accountable to it about its work. And this is not counting his gradual drift towards a union with the Vatican. The trouble is not that a question has been put up for consideration, which according to the canons cannot be considered in principle, but in that. that with this procedure, Americans can destroy the unity of the entire Orthodox world.
