Along with the Russian Orthodox Church itself that is 4 patriarchates and 2 other autocephalous Churches opposed to a unilateral autocephaly for Filaret and his group. <br /><br />According to some reports (http://orthochristian.com/113962.html) the Georgians have not made a decision but Patriarch Ilya II opposes unilateral Ukrainian autocephaly. So make that 5 patriarchates and 2 other autocephalous Churches. <br /><br />That leaves just the Greek-led Churches (Constantinople, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Cyprus, Athens, Albania) and Romania as possible supporters of unilateral autocephaly for Filaret's group. The Patriarchs of Alexandria, Jerusalem and the Archbishop of Cyprus have close ties to Russia and the UOC-MP so it is highly unlikely they will go along with it either. <br /><br />So that leaves only Constantinople, Athens, Albania and Romania.<br />APhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395966255346711744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-1225334533475969742018-06-26T02:42:04.779-04:002018-06-26T02:42:04.779-04:00

Bart already knows he is compromised by the failed synod in Crete, and that the true leader of world Orthodoxy is HH Patriarch Kirill of Moscow. To grant autocephaly to a bunch of neo-Nazi, ultra-nationalist Ukrainians would precipitate a cataclysmic schism which would split the entire Orthodox world in two. He might be a heretic but Bart has at least more political sense than that.Patrick Sheridanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995907911415177074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-63688412197473094332018-06-23T18:36:10.817-04:002018-06-23T18:36:10.817-04:00Then we can call it the "Little Schism"....Then we can call it the "Little Schism".lanneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201942000756193774noreply@blogger.com
