Constantinople on the Move

His All-Holiness: "The ecological initiatives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, an extension of the theology & liturgical tradition of the Church, go hand in hand with the findings of science & the urging of experts to mobilize to protect the environment." https://t.co/QGogfgSaCz pic.twitter.com/9FtsDuI0i4

Hubris?

or was he bought off?

His All-Holiness denounces "the dissemination of pseudoscientific opinions concerning the purported dangers of the Covid-19 vaccines, the slander aimed toward specialists of the medical field, & the unfounded degradation of the seriousness of the disease." https://t.co/P9Fzvnqclm pic.twitter.com/Sz0X578uO5

The Ambition of Constantinople?

There are secular forces that are pushing the Ecumenical Patriarchate forward in its ever more expansive claims. The United States has used the EP’s interference in Ukraine as an arm of its anti-Russian foreign policy. https://t.co/Sgb9lOCSP1

Byzantine Triumphalism

How much more do they have to lose before they learn the lesson? Lord have mercy. All jurisdictions will have to re-evaluate their notions of primacy and ecclesial authority before there can be full reconciliation. Matthew 20:25.

One Possible Happy Development At Least

Straying from Tradition?

Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy: Review: “For the Life of the World” (Ecumenical Patriarchate Social Document)

How Should Churches of an Ecclesial Rite Be Organized?

Under the leadership of one "patriarch"? Or should they be organized synodally with one protos? Or a different way entirely, or not at all?

If the Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian (or "Oriental") Orthodox ever reconcile, can the patriarch of Constantinople continue to make this claim about Constantinople being the Mother Church of the Orthodox world? It won't be true if that reconciliation happens.

Asia News: Bartholomew: Constantinople, the Mother Church of the Orthodox world by NAT da Polis

One year ago the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople granted autocephaly to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Metropolitan Makarios: the division from Moscow stems from the refusal to be subject to the political will of others and of not to being able to serve the Ukrainian people.

The Pretensions of Constantinople

What Justification for This?

Ecumenism? Fraternity? While some Lutherans may be close to apostolic Christianity, is this true of the state church of Sweden? And how can one be face to face with a female fake bishop without some sort of correction? I never understood that part of being "diplomatic."
