“I was pleased by the recent decisions by the Greek and Alexandrian
Orthodox Churches to recognize the Orthodox Church of Ukraine as a
fellow autocephalous church. Russia should never stand in the way of the Ukrainian people’s
fundamental right to exercise their religious freedom. The Ukrainians
can count on American support in that regard.”
-US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

Why on earth is the US suddenly concerned about Ukraine and what kind of Orthodox church is in that country? We did not do anything when the Soviets brutally crushed those fighting for freedom in Hungary and Czechoslovakia in 1956 and 1968, respectively.
One cannot help but conclude that an Orthodox Russia is considered a bigger threat to the West than was the Soviet Union. Sad.
Wait Boris. Soon the real agenda wiil emerge . It will show how these guys are being funded for a secular pursuit of the american state department.
@Archimandrite Gregory... Bingo. This is just the latest front in the US/Russia game of power politics. I have a high degree of confidence that the EP would never have done this without the green light from the US State Department. To be clear I am not a fan of Putin, who is basically an organized crime boss masquerading as a head of state. Nor am I a fan of the ROC's fawning over his government. But promoting schism in the Orthodox Church as a means to an end in a geo-political chess match is a step too far.
Actually it has little to do with russo/american politics but rather more to do with lgbtq agenda. Time will tell the exact connection.
Pompeo has his faults, but he has never been a cheer leader for the alphabet people.
Time will tell.
I think Fr. Gregory is right. A wise priest I know, himself in the EP Carpatho Russian diocese,feels the same way.
State/CIA are dominated by homosexuals at this point and the US is the new Soviet Union.
