Autocephaly for Ukrainian Orthodox Church: Coming Soon?

Το Hromadske International δημοσίευσε στις 5 Σεπ 2018 εκτενές ουδέτερο ρεπορτάζ στο https://en.hromadske.ua/posts/autocephaly-for-ukrainian-orthodox-church-coming-soon καθώς και πληροφοριακό βίντεο για το Ουκρανικό Στη σύντομη περίληψη αναφέρεται: «Phanar is a small, former Greek district of Istanbul and home to the Constantinople Patriarchate. These days the Constantinople Church is not large (around 2 million believers) but is considered the most important of all the Orthodox Patriarchates. Its authority stems from the history and respect for the continuous traditions of Constantinople. When paganism was the main religion in Ukraine, Russia and many other now-Orthodox countries, a powerful church was forming in this territory. Its interpretations of Christianity are still relevant to many Christians around the world today – and not just Orthodox Christians. Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church has come here, surrounded by security guards and journalists with Russian state media, to discuss Ukraine with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the head of the Constantinople Church. Hromadske was also on the ground to see how the historic meeting unfolded Hromadske. Αλλά τα σχόλια από την πλευρά των φιλορώσων μιλούν από μόνα τους: (Вартоломеј Анатема! - ANAXIOS ! ANATHEMA ! - Ukraine is Russian. The church in Constantinople will be crushed by the third Rome if they do something stupid - Мајка Црква? Врло често се понашала као маћеха, укидајући за време Турака словенске аутокефалне цркве смењујући словенске епископе грчким који нису водили рачуна о пастви него о себи! - So will they (Bartholomew) now do the same for the Macedonian Orthodox Church?)
