What to stand behind the deeds of the Patriarch of Constantinople in Ukraine and how can it end? Patriarchate of Constantinople: history and camp in the modern world What is the ecumenical patriarch

Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople repeatedly came from a visit to Russia. In addition, in 2018, the roci єvcharistіyne spolkuvannya with the Patriarchate of Constantinople was broken. What is the Church of the New Rome - the Ecumenical Patriarchate?

Dekilka of tales about the historical role of the Patriarchate of Constantinople and its camp in the modern Orthodox world.

The historical role of the Patriarchate of Constantinople

The creation of the Christian community and the episcopal see in Constantinople (until 330 AD - Byzantium) still lie until the apostolic hours. It is inconspicuously connected with the activity of the holy apostles of Andriy the First-Called and Stakhiya (who remained, behind orders, and became the first bishop of the city, Εκκλησία, which uninterruptedly grew among the first three centuries of Christianity). However, the rozkvit of the Church of Constantinople and the onset of all-worldly-historical significance inflicted on the holy equal-to-the-apostles emperor Kostyantyn the Great (305-337 pp.) before Christ, and the unfortunate creation of the First Ecumenical (Nicean) Council of other churches (325 r.) . New Rome, like a new one, having taken the name of his sovereign successor.

Three more, lower after 50 years, at the Other Ecumenical Council (381 r.), the Bishop of New Rome, having taken another place in the diptychs of the midst of the bishops of the Christian world, acting from these fir at the first honor only to the Bishop of Rome of the Old 3rd (Rule of the Ancients). Varto designate that the Primate of the Church of Constantinople during the period of the Council was one of the greatest fathers and followers of the Church - St. Gregory the Theologian.

Nezabara after the residual podіl of the Roman Empire on the Zahidnu and Shіdna part in Constantinople, another equal angelic father and patron of the Church, St. John Chrysostom, occupied the chair of the archbishop from 397-404 pp. In his practice, the great ecumenical teacher and saint laid out the right, uninterrupted ideals of the life of Christian supremacy and formed the unchanging foundations of the social activity of the Orthodox Church.

Unfortunately, in the first half of the 5th century, the Church of New Rome was destroyed by the heretic Patriarch Nestorius of Constantinople (428 - 431), we will throw off and anathematize the Third Ecumenical (Ephesian) Council (431 rubles). At the same time, the Fourth Ecumenical (Chalcedonian) Council reaffirmed and expanded the rights and privileges of the Church of Constantinople. By its 28 rule of designation, the Council formed the canonical territory of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, and the dioceses of Thrace, Asia, and Pontus (that is, a larger part of the territory of Asia Minor and a smaller part of the Balkan Pivostrov) were taken to the warehouse. In the middle of the 6th century, for the Holy Apostolic Emperor Justinian the Great (527-565 pp.), the Five Ecumenical Council (553 r.) was held near Constantinople. For example, in the 6th century, for the eminent canonist, Saint John IV the Faster (582-595 pp.), the primates of Constantinople began to respect the title of “Ecumenical (Οικουμενικός) Patriarch” (with this status historically given for such a title, respecting all the saints).

In the 7th century, the See of Constantinople, with the help of the cunning enemy of our guardian, again became the dungeon of the heresy of church troubles. Patriarch Sergius I (610-638 pp.), becoming the founder of monothelitism nonsense, and yogo heretic spadkoєmtsі ruled the right persecution of the defenders of Orthodoxy - St. By the grace of the Lord God and our Savior Jesus Christ, cries at Constantinople under the Rivne-Apostolic Emperor Kostyantyn IV Pogonati (668-685 pp.) The Shostia Ecumenical Council (680-681 pp.) , and inspire the Roman Pope Honorius I).

Territories of the Patriarchate of Constantinople

In the 8th century, the patriarchal throne of Constantinople was occupied for a long time by the priesthood of the iconoclastic heresy, which was forcibly planted by the emperors of the Savrian dynasty. The Holy Ecumenical Council of Constantinople Tarasius (784-806 pp.) is no more than cries of cries by the Zusillas. Varto also means that in the 8th century, before the warehouse of the canonical territory of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the western part of the Balkan Pivostrov (Diocese of Illirika) was included.

In the IX century, the most prominent patriarch of Constantinople became the "new Chrysostom", St. Photius the Great (858-867, 877-886). At the same time, the Orthodox Church itself condemned the most important pardons of nonsense to papism: what is changing the Symbol of the Church about the emergence of the Holy Spirit not only in the Father, but also in the Sina (the ceremony about the “filioque”), and the ceremony about the monosemy of the Roman pope in the Church about the primacy (perevagu) papi over church cathedrals.

The hour of the patriarchate of St. Photius is the most active hour in the entire history of the Byzantine Orthodox Church, the result of which was no less than a conversion to Orthodoxy of the peoples of Bulgaria, the Serbian lands, the Great Moravian state (the rest of the territories of the Ukrainian mountains), the modern Czech Republic (so called “Askoldov”) the christening of Russia (which was born nevdovz after 861 r.) and the molding of the ears of the Russian Church. The very representatives of the Patriarchate of Constantinople - holy missionary missionaries, educators of the words of Cyril and Methodius - smashed the so-called "trimovna nonsense" (they stverdzhuali, which is the basis of "sacred" mov, with which only and can pray to God).

Nareshti, like before St. John Chrysostom, St. Photius actively propagated in his practice the supremacy of the Orthodox Christian supremacy (and build a clave for the empire to enrich the Christian values with the link of laws - the Epanagogu). It is not surprising that John Chrysostom, St. Photius, recognized persecution. ONE Jacgshcho Іdemi's saint Іоаннна илототусься, non-zinnyuyu, pіsl yogo donsenі buli, all the taki_tsіyno vannі іmpersko, then іда ідей фото фория, Shaho silenced for yogo ... so i bula entered into force).

In the X century, before the warehouse of the canonical territory of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Asia Minor region of Savria (924 r.) was included, after which the entire territory of Asia Minor (Crimea of Kіlіkії) passed into the canonical jurisdiction of the New Rome. At the same time, at 919-927 pp., after the founding of the patriarchate in Bulgaria, the omophorion of the remaining z-pіd ecclesiastical authority of Constantinople entered the entire pivnіchna part of the Balkans (the present-day territory of Bulgaria, Serbia, Herzegovina). Prote the most important podіє in church history The 10th century, without a doubt, was another Baptism of Russia, conducted in 988 by the Holy Rivno-Apostolny Grand Duke Volodymyr (978-1015). Representatives of the Patriarchate of Constantinople played with their chimal the role of the formation of the Russian Church, which until 1448 changed the founding canonical link with the Tsaregrad patriarchal throne.

In 1054 rotsі, z vіdokremlennyam Zahіdnoї (Romskoї) Churches in іd povnot Orthodoxy, the Patriarch of Constantinople becomes the first in honor among the Primates of the Orthodox Pomіsnyh Churches. One hour on the cob like the XI century of the era Crusades and Timchas vignannians from their thrones in the Orthodox Patriarchs of Antioch and Rusalima, the Bishop of New Rome, began to win their own vinyatkovy ecclesiastical status, pragmatically establishing quiet chi and other forms of the canonical victory of Constantinople over other autocephalous Churches Tue, the fall at 1204, under the blows of the Christians in the capital of Byzantium, and the relocation of the patriarchal residence to Nicaea (the de patriarchs moved from 1207 to 1261) prompted the Ecumenical Patriarchate of the Church to wait for the cars of the Bulgarians.

The conquest of Constantinople by the Christ-bearers (1261), in fact, did not improve, but rather worsened the camp of the Church of Constantinople. Emperor Mikhailo VIII Palaiologos (1259-1282 pp.), heading for the union with Rome, for additional anti-canonical visits, transferring power from the Ecumenical Patriarchy to the Uniates and inflicting zhorstok, nebacheni z crooked iconoclastic reprisals on the re-investigation of Orthodox Christians. Zokrema, with the sanction of Patriarch-Uniate John XI Vekka (1275 - 1282 pp.), becoming a rout by the Byzantine Christian (!) Viysky monasteries of St. After the death of the anathematized Michael Palaiologos at the Blachernae Cathedral in 1285, the Church of Constantinople was condemned in one flock and the union, and the dogma about “filioque” (adopted 11 years before that by the Western Church at the cathedral in Lyon).

In the middle of the 14th century, at the “Palamite Councils” that took place in Constantinople, they officially confirmed Orthodox dogmas about the difference between the day and the energy of the Divine, which are the peaks of true Christian God-knowledge. To the Patriarchate of Constantinople itself, the entire Orthodox world is rooted in our Church for these ryativnye stupivs of the Orthodox faith. In the meantime, after the triumphant assertion of palamism over the flock of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the unsafety of the union with the heretics again loomed. Having choked on the arrival of a foreign flock (for example, in the XIV century, the autocephaly of the Bulgarian Church was anew liquidated), the hierarchs of the Church of Constantinople at the same time gave great spiritual care to the flock of Vlasna. The weak imperial rank under the blows of the Ottomans of the Byzantine Empire in the first half of the 15th century again tried to impose the Orthodox Church on the order of the Pope of Rome. At the Ferraro-Florentine Cathedral (1438 - 1445), all the clergy and laity of the Patriarchate of Constantinople (Crimea of the indestructible fighter for the Heresse of St. Mark of Ephesus) signed an act of union with Rome. The Russian Orthodox Church, in their minds, on the 15th Rule of the Holy Dvorazovoy Cathedral, interrupted the canonical call with the Patriarchal See of Constantinople and became an autocephalous Pomіsnoy Church, as it independently robbed its Primate.

Saint Mark of Ephesus

At 1453 ROTSI, Pіsl Padinnya Konstantinople, Tu Padinennya ІСнавняня візниский імпинії існавня (іка пізний пима сот іван отдовов Оподорова), Konstantinopolsk CHERKVA, Yaka Creiring Sobios Patriharh Gennadey Skolarіy (1453-1456, 14) Skol'yaznaya Uzi Yuzi. Moreover, not long after that, the Patriarch of Constantinople became the civil head (millet-bash) of all Orthodox Christians, who lived on the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Behind the words of the contemporary descriptions of the podia, “Patriarch Osiv is like a Caesar on the throne of the Vasilevs” (that of the Byzantine emperors). From the beginning of the 16th century, the patriarchs (Oleksandriya, Antiohi and Rusalim) were buried, until the Ottoman laws, on the second half of the century, they spent the camp at the base until the osib, as if occupying the Patriarchal Throne of Constantinople. Koristuyuchis such a camp, many of the rest allowed the tragedy of evil for the Church with their power. So, Patriarch Kirilo I Lucaris (1620-1623, 1623-1633, 1633-1634, 1634-1635, 1635-1638 pp.) in the framework of the polemic with papal Rome, trying to impose the Orthodox Church, 1752-1757) to change his practice to the reception of Roman Catholics to Orthodoxy, vіdіyshovshi vіd vimog, installed for the practice of the Council of 1484. In addition, in the middle of the 18th century, with the initiative of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Ottomans liquidated the Pech (Serbian) Patriarchy and the Orchid autocephalous archbishopric, which guarded the Macedonian flock (created during the hours of St. Justinian the Great).

In the meantime, let’s not think that the life of the Primates of the Church of Constantinople – the ethnarchs of the present Christians – was for the Ottoman panuvannya “truly royal”. For the wealthy of them, she was a true companion, and even a martyr. Appointed and honored for the svavilles of the sultan and yogo hierarchs, the patriarchs, not only by their settlement, but by their lives, were honored for the honoring, stigmatized, belittled and underestimated Orthodox population of the Ottoman Empire. So, after the beginning of the Gretsky rebellion of 1821. following the order of the sultan's order by fanatics, which belong to non-Christian Abrahamic religions, on the day of the Great Day, the 76-year old Patriarch Gregory V (1797 - 1798 8), becoming not just a holy martyr, but a martyr for the people ( εθνομάρτυς).

Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Russian Orthodox Church

The Church of Constantinople, as if embracing the Ottoman sultans (which is also the title of “Caliph of all Muslims”), was whispering cues to us in front of the “Third Rome”, tobto Russian state and in the Russian Church (the very bajans should receive such support for the viklikana of the year of Patriarch Jeremiah II of Constantinople to establish the patriarchate in Russia in 1589). On the same day, not long after the predicted martyr's death of Hieromartyr Gregory (Angelopoulos), the Constantinopolitan hierarchs tried to squabble on the Orthodox people of the Balkan Pivostrov. At that very hour, the Orthodox people (representatives of which in the Ottoman period were integrated at the church administration of all the descendants of the Patriarchates) were surrounded by the Council of the Messengers of the Skhidnyh Patriarchy in 1848. The same time the Church took away the autocephaly, it was born under the Ottoman yoke of Greece (the Hellenic Church). Already in the other half of the 19th century, the Constantinople ієrarchs led to the recognition of the autocephaly of the Bulgarian Church (having come to terms with this less in the middle of the 20th century). Similar problems from outside of Constantinople, Mali and the Orthodox Patriarchy of Georgia and Romania. In the meantime, for the sake of justice, mark the bar that, like another decade of the past century, the united autocephalous Serbian Orthodox Church did not strike from the side of Constantinople the same list.

A new, first in the XX century, a dramatic side in the history of the Church of Constantinople, the bula was tied to the rebuffing on the її Patriarchal Throne of Meletiya IV(Metaksakis), who took the chair of the Ecumenical Patriarch from 1921-1923 rr. In 1922, a group of wines claimed the autonomy of the Greek Archbishopric in the United States, which provoked a podіl both in American and in Greek Orthodoxy, and in 1923, a group, calling the "Pan-Orthodox Congress" (from representatives), of all five Orthodox Churches through not passing on the canonical arrangements of the Orthodox Church, the organ of the decision about changing the liturgical style, by which, having provoked church turmoil, as if by chance gave rise to the so-called. "old style" split. Nareshti, the fate of the stench was adopted under the omophorion of Constantinople by schismatic anti-church groups in Estonia. Ale nayfatalnіshoy pardon Meletiya IV bula pidtrimka extinguished "warrior Hellenism", after the victory of Turkey in the Greek-Turkish war of 1919-1922 pp. This arrangement of the Lausanne peace treaty of 1923 became one of the supplementary arguments for arguing the expulsion from the territory of Asia Minor to the two-million Greek flock of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.

On the occasion of the departure of the Meletius from the pulpit, the hundred thousand Orthodox Greek community of Constantinople (Istanbul) became the sole support of the Ecumenical Patriarchal Throne on the canonical territory. Prote anti-Greek pogroms of the 1950s were called to the fact that the Orthodox flock of the Ecumenical Patriarchate on the territory of Turkey as a result of mass emigration until the present hour, for innumerable vines, up to a thousand Greeks lived near the Constantinople quarter of the Phanar, as well as the islands of Imvros and Tenedos near the Turkish Yegeid. In their minds, Patriarch Athenagoras I (1949-1972 pp.) turned for help and support to the krai Sunset, on the lands of these, most importantly in the USA, even more importantly, the greater number of the seven-million (at that time) flock of the Church of Constantinople lived. Before entering, living in order to get rid of the pidtrimka, there were also anathemas imposed on the representatives of the Western Church by Patriarch Michael I Kirulariy (1033-1058), who were cremated into Orthodoxy in 1054 rotations. The orders came in (which did not mean, however, the decision of the council about the condemnation of the heretical Oman of the Western Christians), meanwhile, they could not ease the camp of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, a new blow to the one that was taken by the Turkish government in 1971, the decision about the closing of the Bogoslovskoy Akai Unfortunate after the implementation of the Turkish decision, Patriarch Athenagoras I died.

Primate of the Church of Constantinople - Patriarch Bartholomew

The Ninish Primate of the Church of Constantinople - Holy Archbishop of Constantinople - New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I was born in 1940 on the island of Imvros, was ordained a bishop in 1973 and was appointed to the Patriarchal Throne 2 leaf fall. Kanonіchna teritorіya Konstantinopolskogo Patrіarhatu in perіod Yogo upravlіnnya churches sutі not zmіnilasya i, yak i ranіshe, vklyuchaє teritorіyu practical vsієї Maloї Azії, Shіdnoї Frakії, Crete (de pid omophorion Constantinople іsnuє napіvavtonomna Kritska church) Dodekanezskih ostrovіv, Pevnyi ecclesiastical samostіynіstyu) and so is Finland (the innumerable Orthodox Church of the country is rooted in canonical autonomy). In addition, the Church of Constantinople lays claim to the canonical rights in the management of the so-called "new territories" - the dioceses of Pivnichnoy Greece, which came to the main territory of the country after the Balkan wars of 1912-1913. that was transferred by Constantinople in 1928. in the administration of the Greek Church. Such a kind of claims (as and vzagalі yakі may have canonical support of the Church of Constantinople on the canonical ordering of the entire Orthodox Diaspora), it is understandable, not to know the positive opinion in the Orthodox Churches of Constantinople conceived by the hierarchs of Constantinople. However, the stench can be enlightened, seeing that the greater number of the flock of the Ecumenical Patriarchate is more important - the same flock of the Diaspora (yak, meanwhile, all the same to become the minority of the middle of the Orthodox Diaspora zagal). Let us also explain in a singing world the breadth of the ecumenical activity of Patriarch Bartholomew I, who pragmatically promotes new, non-trivial lines of inter-Christian and - broader - inter-religious dialogue in the global to the current world.

Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople

Dovidku pіdgotuvav Balitnikov Vadim Volodimirovich

Historical deeds (including hagiographic and iconographic data) testify about the succession of the Emperor in Byzantium as a counterpart to the famous Yoma Kostyantyn the Great.

Tsikavo, that the patriarch-heretic himself with his “canonical opinions” (about the impermissibility of drinking kumis by Christians) actually zirvav usil Zusilla of the Russian Church for the conduct of the Christian mission among the nomadic peoples of the Golden Ordi.

As a result of this, all the Orthodox episcopal sees of Turechchini became titular, and the fate of the laity in this church administration was more or less on the level of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.

By a similar rank, the Patriarchate of Constantinople does not know how to try to expand its ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the lower powers (China, Ukraine, Estonia) to enter the storehouse of the canonical territory of the Moscow Patriarchate.

Dovidkovo: In spring 2018, the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew spoke before the Synax with a statement about the admission of the Russian Church to the right of the Kiev Metropolis. At the meeting, the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church praised the next meeting: “1. Prayer prayer commemoration of Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople for divine services. 2. Zupiniti service with the hierarchs of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. 3. Supinate the fate of the Russian Orthodox Church in all episcopal assemblies, theological dialogues, rich-sided commissions and other structures, in which representatives of the Patriarchate of Constantinople are heading. 4. Accept the statement of the Holy Synod on anti-canonical actions of the Patriarchate of Constantinople in Ukraine.” The Russian Orthodox Church broke the Eucharist union with the Patriarchate of Constantinople.

What is the Patriarchate of Constantinople?

It seems that a religious war is brewing in Ukraine, and it is connected with the actions of such Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople? What really happened?

It's true, the situation in Ukraine, and so vibuhonably unsafe, has worsened. The Primate (Kerivnik) of one of the Orthodox Churches – Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople – has become involved in the life of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (self-registered, but not necessarily part of the Russian Orthodox Church – the Moscow Patriarchate). In spite of the canonical rules (immutable ecclesiastical legal norms), without the request of our Church, whose canonical territory is Ukraine, Patriarch Bartholomew sent to Kiev two of his representatives - "exarchs". From the formulas: “within the framework of preparations for the granting of autocephaly to the Orthodox Church in Ukraine”.

Check, but what does "Constantinople" mean? Learn from a high school facilitator of history that Constantinople has long since died, and that the Turkish city of Istanbul is known in this city?

Everything is correct. The capital of the first Christian Empire - the Roman Kingdom (Byzantium) - fell in 1453, but the Patriarchate of Constantinople was saved and under the Turkish panuvans. From that hour, the Power of Russia helped the Patriarchs of Constantinople both financially and politically. Regardless of those that after the fall of Constantinople, Moscow assumed the role of the Third Rome (the center of the Orthodox world), the Russian Church did not deny the status of Constantinople as the “first among equals” and the name of its primates “Ecumenical”. Proteo a number of the Patriarchs of Constantinople did not appreciate the support and tried everything to weaken the Russian Church. Although they themselves were actually representatives of the Phanar, a small district of Istanbul, where the residence of the Patriarch of Constantinople is located.

A self-styled impostor. If, among the Radians, a native of the Donbass, who practically did not know the Ukrainian language, was rightfully the legitimate Metropolitan of Kiev, the hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church (even though there were a few unfamiliar things about the special life of Metropolitan Filaret). And if in 1990 the fate of yoga was not taken away by the Patriarch of Moscow, the wine was hidden in the image. And as a result, in the midst of nationalistic moods, he created a powerful nationalist sect - the "Kyiv Patriarchy".

This person (whose name is behind the passport is Mikhailo Antonovich Denisenko) for splitting the back of the head was relieved of his rank, and then we were punished with anathema, so that it was taken into account in the Church.

Would the Patriarchate of Constantinople want to grant autocephaly to similar characters in order to weaken the Russian Church? Will non-Orthodox people follow them?

Unfortunately, a significant part of the population of Ukraine is poorly understood on the intricacies of canon law. And to that, if a man with a silver beard in a patriarchal headdress seems that Ukraine has the right to the “united support of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church” (PUPTs), then there is a lot of people to believe. And of course, the sovereign nationalistic Russophobic propaganda to rob its right. And yet, in these difficult circumstances, the majority of Orthodox Christians in Ukraine are being deprived of the children of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

With this, Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople never formally recognized the Ukrainian nationalist divisions. Moreover, more recently, in 2016, one of the official representatives of the Patriarchate of Constantinople right hand Patriarch Bartholomew) Father Oleksandr Karloutsos, stating:

As you know, the Ecumenical Patriarch no longer recognizes Patriarch Kiril as the spiritual head of all Russia, which, of course, means Ukraine.

Tim is no less, for the rest of the hour, Patriarch Bartholomew has activated the activity of destroying the unity of the Russian Orthodox Church, for which he will work everything to unite the nationalist sects and, maybe, after the oath of autonomy, nadati uoske

"Tomos about autocephaly" yak "sokyra war"

- But why can you bring the Tomos?

To the most terrible legacy. Ukrainian rozkol, regardless of the statement of Patriarch Bartholomew, do not heal, but already know. And the worst thing is to give them additional support for vimagati in the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church in churches and monasteries, and also in other times. Protyagom the rest of the years already dozens of Orthodox shrines were slaughtered by schismatics, among them due to stasis of physical strength. In times of legalization by the Patriarchate of Constantinople of these nationalistic sects, a rightful religious war may begin.

– And how to be placed before the Ukrainian autocephaly of the other Orthodox Churches? Їx rich?

So, їх 15, і the representatives of the low of them were repeatedly hung up from the first drive. Let us give just a few quotes from the primates and representatives of the Pomіsnyh Orthodox Churches on Ukrainian topics.

Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa Theodore II:

Let's pray to the Lord, who works everything for our good, who guides us on the path to the top of these problems. If you want to turn around at the bosom of the Church, Denisenko the schismatic, you may turn there, the stars are good.

(to the Russian Orthodox Church - ed.).

Patriarch of Antioch and all the rest John X:

The Patriarchy of Antioch is standing up in concert with the Russian Church and is standing up against the church schism in Ukraine.”

Primate of the Jerusalem Orthodox Church Patriarch Theophilus III:

We categorically sue the deeds, directed against the parishes of the canonical Orthodox Church in Ukraine. It is not for nothing that the holy fathers of the Church tell us that the unity of the Church is destroyed by mortal sin.

Primate of the Serbian Orthodox Church Patriarch Irinej:

Even more unsafe and inspire a catastrophic situation, imovirno, fatal for the unity of Orthodoxy [epossible], the act of instilling and reinstating schismatics to the rank of bishops, especially arch schismatics, such as the “Patriarch of Kiev” Filaret Denisenko. Bringing them to the liturgical service, that communion without repentance, that turning into the bosom of the Russian Church, as if the stench was pronounced. And all without Moscow's help and coordination with them.

In addition, in an exclusive interview with the Tsargorod TV channel, the representative of the Jerusalem Patriarchate, Archbishop Theodosius (Khanna), gave a more clear description:

The problem of Ukraine is the problem of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine - an example of the involvement of politicians in church authorities. Unfortunately, there may be a place for the realization of American goals and interests. The policy of the United States has broken the target of Ukraine and the Orthodox Church in Ukraine. The Ukrainian Church has historically been at one and the same time from the Russian Church, has been with her one Church, and it was necessary to protect and preserve it.

Who are these wonderful "exarchs"?

But let's turn to the fact that the Patriarch of Constantinople sent two of his representatives to Ukraine, so called "exarchs". I realized that it was illegal. And who is this, and who will take them from that very Kiev?

Twice two to give birth to young people behind the episcopal worlds (volume 50) - natives of Western Ukraine, de especially strong nationalist and Russophobic attitudes. Even in their youth, insults stumbled behind the cordon, de vreshti-resht stooped at the warehouse of two different kolnytsky jurisdictions - the “UOC in the USA” and the “UOC in Canada” (there were Ukrainian nationalist sects, like the Patriarchate of Constantinople itself, giving legal status). Otzhe, a little report about the skin.

1) Archbishop Danilo (Zelinsky), cleric of the UOC in the USA. In the past, the Uniate, which the Greek-Catholic deacon had passed to the American Ukrainian nationalist "Church", de and zrobiv kar'єru.

2) Bishop Hilarion (Rudnik), cleric of the UOC near Canada. Vіdomy as a radical Russophobe and a lunatic Chechen terrorists. We see that “on the 9th day of the month of 2005, we were relocating in the Turkish region, de buv we were translating the first hour of the meeting of the Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople with the President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko, we were trapping the Turkish police. The Bishop was called in that the price of the updated documents would rise and that he was a “Chechen rebel”. We gave these bells and whistles, and the axis is now, together with Archbishop Danylo (Zelinsky), becoming the "exarch" of the Patriarch of Constantinople in Ukraine.

I realized that it is not the fault of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church to accept them as "unfortunate guests". Accept i, calling on everything, urochisto, on sovereign equal Poroshenko and yoga are close. And, of course, with joy (or maybe with a bow) the leaders of pseudo-Orthodox sects turn up before them. There is no doubt that it looks like a nationalistic farce with a great number of “yellow-blaky” and Banderist ensigns and cries of “Glory to Ukraine!”. On the basis of food, as I can bring to patristic Orthodoxy, it doesn’t matter: none.

About those who really mean Constantinople and a kind of "all-world" edit All-World Patriarch Bartholomew, "RG" reproached the theologian, church analyst Sergiy Khudiev.

The words "Ecumenical Patriarch" sound miraculous. At the translation from the sacred ce "the most heady". What can Constantinople lay claim to?

Sergiy Khudiev: When, in the Middle Ages, Constantinople became the center of the civilized world, the most famous - glorious was not on Earth - a place. Misto mist, our ancestors called yoga Tsar-grad. Tse buv is an absolute center not only for the inhabitants of the Roman Empire - for the inhabitants of the former world. The word "vsesvit", "oikumena" meant for the inhabitant of the Skhidnoy Roman Empire the world, which was founded at the borders of the empire. Zvіdsi and tsey nayvischy title - "Ecumenical Patriarch". Bishop of Constantinople, naturally, took on the role of head bishop of the empire and mav "the first honor." Alece didn't mean any fundamentally different status - Vіn bv first middle equal.

What about at once?

Theologian Sergius Khudiyev: The Patriarch of Constantinople is aware that the head of the Orthodox world is in flames. But then it's an illusion. A photo: From the special archive of Sergiy Khudiev.

Sergiy Khudiev: From that hour, more than an hour passed. We know that the Hidden Roman Empire, which we will later call Byzantium, fell and was conquered by the Turks. The Turks gave self-regulation to the Greek Orthodox community. I left the Patriarch of Constantinople її leader. But in the 20s of the 20th century, the Greeks suddenly launched a test to establish an empire, they launched a war in Turechchina - and it led to mass deportations of the Greek population. The Patriarch of Constantinople was far away from being deprived of violence in Constantinople and may be without a flock. Today, about 100 Greeks linger near Istanbul.

On cich 100 Istanbul Greeks will not end. The new one has more paraphia - in the Happy States, in Greece. Ale of the great, grandiose status, like the Mav Patriarch of Constantinople in the hour of the Shidnoї іmperії, today is not. At the same time, the bishop is already a small quarter in Istanbul, who is constantly changing under the Turkish rule. However, Patriarch Bartholomew, arranging those camps, as if the Bishop of Constantinople was in the era of the discovery of Constantinople itself, is trying to appeal to the new one. You are given up, that the head of the Orthodox world has risen. And everything can help you.

By analogy with the Pope of Rome?

Sergiy Khudiev: So, among the Catholics, this is how it developed historically, the Pope guards the Church. I win as a monarch of his own kind, the spiritual head of all Catholics. The Orthodox Church developed a different system of governance. Іsnuє pyatnadtsat patriarchats, skins from some may renovate in the middle of their pomіsnoї church. Patriarchs equal among themselves. The skin patriarchy has its own canonical territory. The first rule of the Orthodox Church is to prevent the bishop from entering a foreign canonical territory. The Bishop of Moscow, for example, is impossible to get in touch with the Bishop of St. Petersburg. An even more important example of the inviolability of this rule was shown by the Russian Church after the 2008 fate, if the Pivden-Ossetian parishes asked to the Moscow Patriarchy. But Moscow was moved to accept them, so as not to destroy the canonical territory of the Georgian Church. Ale Constantinople, I thought that I could come to the canonical territory of another patriarchate - Moscow.

Given that the Patriarchate of Constantinople is only "one of" the Orthodox Patriarchates, which cannot be lifted above them?

Sergiy Khudiev: So. Yogo if you have a super-high status, given the status of the capital of Constantinople - an anachronism. The Empire has been silent for a long time. And if you want to learn more about the closest analogue of the Orthodox empire, then take it not in Turkey.

Ale "bishop of one quarter of Istanbul" wants to create an "autocephalous Ukrainian church."

Sergiy Khudiev: So. And here it is necessary to designate us in advance, that all the Rukh is for "autocephaly for the Ukrainian Church" of the initiation and expansion of secular power. The Canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church did not ask for anything like that not to ask. Among people who are fighting for autocephaly, it is not enough to want formal members of the Church. Among the fighters for autocephaly for Ukrainian Orthodoxy are people who call themselves Uniati, Protestants, atheists, whatever. This is a political project. Yogo head meta - to strangle the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, as it is legally tied to the Moscow Patriarchate. The value of the fortunes of Ukrainian nationalists. Nationalism principled divination before Christianity and the Church. He postulates "Ukraine is above the mustache," but for a Christian it is significant, "above the mustache" is Christ. The nationalistic banquet "Glory to Ukraine" is a parody of the pious banquet "Glory to Jesus Christ", traditional for Ukrainians. The nationalists would rule over their own Chisinau nationalist church. The stench may have the titles of "Kyiv Patriarchate", otherwise it is known as "Philaretivsky Rozkol", ale vin no acknowledgment from the Orthodox world. For the help of the Patriarch of Constantinople, the stench is trying to get out. And Patriarch Bartholomew, who doesn’t have enough flock, rudely seeming, if only there were more people under him. And to that, in my opinion, wine pishov for the sake of the Ukrainian nationalists. Their interests shifted.

The Russian Orthodox Church at the hour of the Georgian-Ossetian war has been led, how can the Church behave, as the right Church. Constantinople and Ukrainian schismatics with a political house behave in such a way that the Church does not behave.

Sergiy Khudiev: As for the Ukrainian politicians, then there are the main machiavellians, that there are more checks among them. Ale, the behavior of Patriarch Bartholomew is still rozcharovu. Vіn mustache may nobility richer, lower electrified Ukrainian nationalism.

Constantinople spoke raptly about the insufficiency of historical foundations if the Russian Orthodox Church was established as independent of Constantinople.

Sergiy Khudiev: Vaughn was taken 300 years ago. І 300 years old historical references, but today have become vague?

How resourceful is the Patriarchate of Constantinople? Ukraine for her "hairy little thing"?

Sergiy Khudiev: Everything is clear: Constantinople has few parishes, if you want to increase your number, and Ukraine is more like a lacy thing. And we are falling into the eye of the screaming unethical behavior of Patriarch Bartholomew, his brother, Metropolitan Onufry. Vіn having recognized Yogo as the bishop's twin brother - and now they are fighting with him and Yogo's flock like empty bowl help their exarchs without any good weather. For a person who claims to be a good shepherd of the entire Orthodox world, this is simply unacceptable.

Constantinople to dare to give Tomos to Ukrainian schismatics?

Sergiy Khudiev: It’s like a small hour, I said to him, that Patriarch Bartholomew didn’t go to such a bezpovidalny cruc. Ale, it’s already clear at once that you can grow up like that. Another word, there is no structure, so that you can have this tomos. Htos may call the cathedral of various Ukrainian rozkoliv and create it. It is still unclear to him how the future will develop.

How Constantinople is trying to legitimize the Ukrainian schismatics...

Sergiy Khudiev: Tse brought to a sharp strengthening of the vise on the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Rozkolniki and so demonstrated extreme sorcery by age before her.

Can the first two great laurels be sampled by the canonical Church?

Sergiy Khudiev: Whom only our great laurels did not have - the Bolsheviks, and the Nazis. But it’s not forgotten that “brahma baked not to heal the Church.”

“Ukrainian autocephaly”, for the rest of the hour, the floors are locked up and selling the Patriarchate of Constantinople, madly, not a self-kill for the Phanar (a small Istanbul district, where the residence of the Patriarchs of Constantinople is located). Moreover, the task of weakening the Russian Church, which is numerous and most abundant in the sim'ї Pomіsnyh Churches, is also the second hundredth and key ambition of the “Turkish primates”.

How many ecclesiastical experts are arguing, the smut for the Patriarchate of Constantinople is the “primacy”, the first rule of the entire Orthodox world. And Ukrainian nutrition is so effective, among other things, for the accomplishment of Russophobic tasks, it is only one of the ways to achieve global goals. For the first quarter of a century, Patriarch Bartholomew himself has been trying to overcome the superzavdannya set by his successors. A task, as if it is not possible to celebrate the Orthodox understanding of historical honor in the equal rights of the sim's Pomіsnyh Churches.

Reports about those, how the idea of “primacy” of church power penetrated to the Patriarchate of Constantinople, in an exclusive interview to the TV channel “Tsargorod” rose professor and head of the department of church-practical disciplines of the Moscow Spiritual Academy, Doctor of the Church

Father Vladislav, at the same time, from Istanbul, statements about the alleged “primacy of the Patriarch of Constantinople” are often heard. Explain why the Primates of the Church of the Church really have the right to rule over other commemorative Orthodox Churches, which historically is only “first of honor”?

First of all rule by appointment to the Primates of the other Holy Orthodox Churches in Constantinople, obviously, did not lie and not lie. Moreover, in the first thousand church history itself, the Church of Constantinople energetically countered the claims of the Bishop of Rome for the first dominion over the service of the Ecumenical Church.

Moreover, she reprimanded not the one who won her own right, but the one who, on principle, went out of the fact that all the Churches are independent, and the first in the diptych It is not the fault of the bishop of Rome to inflict any administrative sovereign renovations. The position of the Patriarchate of Constantinople was firmly held by the stretching of the first thousand years of the birth of Christ, the number of times the Western Church and the Holy Church had not been split.

Chi changed importantly with the help of the Christian Descent and Sunset at 1054 rotations?

Of course, in 1054 the principle of the position did not change. Insha river, that Constantinople, through the fall of Rome into the Orthodox Church, became the first cathedra. But all these claims for blame on the government appeared richly late. So, the Patriarch of Constantinople as the Primate of the Church of the Roman Kingdom (Byzantine Empire) had significant real power. Ale tse hospitable world did not cause any canonical nasledkiv.

Obviously, the Patriarchs of Oleksandrіysk, Antiokhіyskі and Rusalimskі mali had less power in their spheres (however many dioceses, parishes, flocks, etc.), protees, were recognized as absolutely equal in rights. The firstness of the Patriarchs of Constantinople was less for the diptych, for the one who guessed first with liturgical wines.

When did the idea of an "Orthodox Vatican" win out?

Less than in the XX century. It was a direct legacy, in the first place, of our revolution of 1917 to the fate and anti-church persecutions that began. It dawned on me that the Russian Church from that hour became richly weak, and Constantinople immediately hung its wondrous doctrine. Step by step, step by step, from various private topics, at the link with autocephaly (the right to independence of your other Churches - ed.), the diaspora (the right to cherish eparchies and parishes beyond the borders of the canonical cordons of the Pomish Churches - ed.) at the Patriarchal Patriarchs of Constantinople began to formulate claims for "all-world jurisdiction".

Obviously, it was connected with these podias, as it happened after the First World War in Constantinople itself, Istanbul: the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Greek-Turkish war ... from the side of the one who fell. Russian Empire, whose place was immediately occupied by the English and American authorities.

The rest, as it seems, and today are already pouring into the Patriarchate of Constantinople?

So, it becomes inevitable. In Turkey itself, the position of the Patriarchate of Constantinople is even weaker, as before, that formally in the Turkish Republic all religions are legally equal. The Orthodox Church there represents an insignificant minority, and to that the center of gravity of being transferred to the diaspora, to the masses in America and in other parts of the world, but more naively, logically, in the United States.

From the “pershіstyu vladi” everything was understood, the idea is absolutely unorthodox. And yet more nourishment from the "first honor": can it be less historically significant? I how to fight for the fall of Constantinople in 1453 rotations? Did the gnome Patriarchs, under the Ottoman yoke, save the persistence of the diptych, including the speeches, as well as the honors to the glorious past of their successors?

Diptychs are not looked at without the need to include new autocephalous Churches. To that, those who fell into Constantinople in 1453 were not a substitute for revisiting the diptych. Although, obviously, there were great ecclesiastical heritage that the Russian Church was honored with. At the link with the fall of Constantinople, she took away more prayers for autocephaly (even in 1441, the Russian Church was cremated to the Patriarchate of Constantinople through yogi to the heretical union with the Catholics in 1439 - approx. Tsargorod). Ale, I repeat, there is less to talk about autocephaly. The very same diptych zalishivsya Tim himself.

So, for example, the Church of Alexandria is the Church with a small number of flocks and a total number of hundreds of clerics, but in a diptych out, like in old times, sit in another place. And if she sat another place after Rome, even before the fall of Constantinople. Ale, beginning with the Second Ecumenical Council, another place after Rome, the Moscow See of Constantinople was placed. And so it is historically deprived.

Ale like to other Orthodox Churches, and Russian nasampered, as the largest and most prolific in the world, children in the minds, if the Patriarchate of Constantinople and personally Patriarch Bartholomew are influencing that which the Orthodox Church itself has the right to “become and transcend” to the whole?

Ignore these pretensions, the docks of stink are simply verbal, leaving a topic for theological, canonical discussions. Well, then, for the cim to go, but at the beginning of the XX century, from the side of the Patriarchs of Constantinople, non-canonical diy came (especially in the 1920-30s), it was necessary to counteract.

And here there is more than enough to talk about the support of the Radyansky schismatics-updates in their fight against the legitimate Moscow Patriarch Tikhon (who was glorified among the saints - approx. Tsargorod). On the side of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, arbitrarily burying dioceses and autonomous Churches, which are parts of the Russian Church - Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, Polish. And today the policy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is already being thrown at those who have been shying about it.

Ale chi є like an instance, like a deep-church court, like a moment to save the Patriarch of Constantinople?

Such an organ, which is recognized as the supreme judicial power of the entire Ecumenical Church, today only theoretically, is the Ecumenical Council. That is why there is no prospect of a judicial review, in which there would be a court case. However, if any time the unlawful claims of the Patriarchate of Constantinople are to be blamed on us, and as the stink of the practical ones, we may cause a rise in the canonical interpretation.
