Well the long and short of it is that this isn't based on any sort of theological basis. This is just an appeasement to geopolitical powers. Ukraine right now is being pozzed af by NATO and granting autocephally will open the floodgates to corruption . And this is all done under the guise of friendship and ecumenism

2018-09-11 01:06:34 UTC  

Simply put, the EP has no jurisdiction on Russia any more than Antioch has on Alexandria for example

2018-09-11 01:28:50 UTC  

I kind of see the need for it to be honest but as you said on a political level

2018-09-11 01:29:08 UTC  

I don't see any real return of Ukraine to Russian culture

2018-09-11 01:29:42 UTC  

They wouldn't be engaged in a desperate fight against a superpower if they had any desire to return

2018-09-11 01:30:18 UTC  

Full disclosure on my part though uhhhhh I have friends who were in Azov and Pravyi

2018-09-11 01:30:56 UTC  

So perhaps my perception is tainted both by that and my hatred of Duginism

Please feel free to ping me in responses as I have like 6 hours now to sleep before a 9 hour shift

2018-09-11 01:33:20 UTC  

(If you ping me I see it tomorrow)

Hi

2018-09-11 02:14:16 UTC  

>Russian imperialism
If China tore cascadia and half of the midwest out of USA, kept propping up broken democracies and oligarchs that sell off their country's assets for pennies and whenever things go bad just do a revolution (color or armed), would you consider the desire to retake that land as "imperialism"?

2018-09-11 02:15:47 UTC  

@Smackface regardless on how you feel on the Ukraine/Russia situation, Bartholomew has overstepped his boundaries and wants to commune with outright schismatics for (((ecumenism)))

2018-09-11 02:16:51 UTC  

Yea, bart's off his rocker. All that CIA support won't buy him the approval of other patriarchs, not just Russian. The "ecumenical" council of Crete is the proof of that.

2018-09-11 02:18:13 UTC  

I'm just hoping archbishop Demetrios of goarch jumps ship and declares anathema on bart

2018-09-11 02:18:55 UTC  

One can only hope

2018-09-11 02:22:06 UTC  

So I live under a Dwayne Johnson so forgive me, but what did bart do?

2018-09-11 02:22:17 UTC  

Is it about the 2nd marriage for priests thing

2018-09-11 02:24:10 UTC  

It's about Ukraine

2018-09-11 02:34:45 UTC  

Bart wants to install a patriarch for Ukraine effectively usurping the Russian patriarch's authority. And he is giving the privilege to schismatic who want autocephally purely because of political tension between Russia and Ukraine @󠀂 󠀂

2018-09-11 02:35:40 UTC  

Wait a minute. Does Ukraine want their own Patriarch?

2018-09-11 02:39:19 UTC  

I thought due to the autocephalous nature of Orthodox churches, Constantinople doesn't get to exercise such authority like that?

2018-09-11 02:40:09 UTC  

It sounds to me like a situation where autocephaly for a church is only recognized by 1 other church

2018-09-11 02:40:37 UTC  

Indeed, thus has been roundly condemned not just Russia

2018-09-11 02:40:49 UTC  

Yeah I understand why the rest of the patriarchs would not be happy

2018-09-11 02:41:27 UTC  

And it would be bad enough had it just been only between patriarchs but take a look at this

2018-09-11 02:41:43 UTC  

REEE

2018-09-11 02:41:50 UTC  

Yeah this is some pozz shit

2018-09-11 02:41:52 UTC  

That's John McCain and there is the would be Ukraine patriarch

2018-09-11 02:42:17 UTC  

Yeah fuck Bart

2018-09-11 02:42:45 UTC  

Thing is I am thinking bout joining a church that is under Constantinople's jurisdiction

2018-09-11 02:42:50 UTC  

Welp

2018-09-11 02:43:41 UTC  

I mean I'm already in one and besides we are all still one holy Catholic and apostolic church

2018-09-11 02:44:29 UTC  

Hopefully Bart will be removed and the See of Constantinople will have a real patriarch

2018-09-11 02:50:20 UTC  

Just remember that even if the patriarch is a heretic, that doesn't mean every bishop and priest under him is. Their sacraments are still valid

2018-09-11 02:53:01 UTC

2018-09-11 09:17:14 UTC  

@Daniil to be honest I view it more as an American revolution/War of 1812 situation, Ukraine ethnogenesized

2018-09-11 09:17:57 UTC  

Similar anyways

2018-09-11 09:18:00 UTC  

Nowhere near the same

Second Ecumenical Council Canon 2; Council of Trullo Canon 20; Council of Antioch Canon 13; and Council of Sardica Canons 3, 11 and 12

```The bishops are not to go beyond their dioceses to churches lying outside of their bounds, nor bring confusion on the churches; but let the Bishop of Alexandria, according to the canons, alone administer the affairs of Egypt; and let the bishops of the East manage the East alone, the privileges of the Church in Antioch, which are mentioned in the canons of Nice, being preserved; and let the bishops of the Asian Diocese administer the Asian affairs only; and the Pontic bishops only Pontic matters; and the Thracian bishops only Thracian affairs.```

```It shall not be lawful for a bishop to teach publicly in any city which does not belong to him. If any shall have been observed doing this, let him cease from his episcopate, but let him discharge the office of a presbyter.```

```No bishop shall presume to pass from one province to another, and ordain persons to the dignity of the ministry in the Church, not even should he have others with him, unless he should go at the written invitation of the metropolitan and bishops into whose country he goes. ```

Sardica:

2018-09-11 10:31:47 UTC  

```Canon 3. And it is necessary to add this too, that no Bishop may cross from his own diocese or province into another province in which there happen to be Bishops, unless he be called or invited by some of the brethren therein, lest we seem to be shutting the gates of love.```
