IL “VATICANO ORTODOSSO”

di: Giovanna Parravicini

«Quando lo spirito impuro esce dall’uomo, si aggira per luoghi deserti cercando sollievo, ma non ne trova. Allora dice: “Ritornerò nella mia casa, da cui sono uscito”. E, venuto, la trova vuota, spazzata e adorna. Allora va, prende con sé altri sette spiriti peggiori di lui, vi entrano e vi prendono dimora; e l’ultima condizione di quell’uomo diventa peggiore della prima. Così avverrà anche a questa generazione malvagia» (Mt 12,43-45).

In June of 594, Pope Gregory the Great received a letter from Constantina, the empress, asking him to send the head of St. Paul to Constantinople so that she and others might benefit from venerating the bodily remains of such a great saint. St. Gregory denied the request, noting that it was not the custom of the Roman Church to dismember the bones of the saints.

The last months have been troubling for the six-month-old Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU).
