KOCH: IL PUNTO SULL: ECUMENISMO

Che cosa significano per l’ecumenismo le recenti tensioni in seno all’ortodossia? Il dialogo tra il Vaticano e Mosca si è di nuovo raffreddato? Che influsso hanno lasciato la celebrazione dell’anniversario della Riforma nel 2017 e l’“evento-Lund”? E quali nuovi progetti sono in vista? Sono domande a cui il Presidente del Pontificio Consiglio per la promozione dell’unità, card. Kurt Koch, ha risposto in un’intervista a katholisch.de, pubblicata il 12 dicembre.

KOSTANTIN SIGOV: WE WANT UKRAINIAN AUTOCEPHALY AND END TO RUSSIAN EXPLOITATION OF RELIGION FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES

 by Caterina Zakharova

The great Ukrainian intellectual explains the reasons that push his people to demand independence from the patriarchate of Moscow. In Russia, state pressures and the exploitation of the Church are the order of the day. An independent Church would be a very important step towards the liberation of Ukraine from its Soviet past. But the problem is above all a spiritual one.

NICHOLAS DENYSENKO: AFTER THE COUNCIL: CHALLENGES FACING THE ORTHODOX CHURCH OF UKRAINE

 The Wheel

 When Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko initially announced that the Ecumenical Patriarchate (EP) would grant autocephaly to the Orthodox Church in Ukraine, the promise seemed overconfident at best, and delusional at worst. For decades, global Orthodoxy has recognized the canonicity of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP), and dismissed the Kyivan Patriarchate (KP) and Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC) as uncanonical schismatics.

Архімандрит Кирило Говорун: «Якщо буде переглянуто Статут, буде переглянуто Томос»

Це інтерв’ю із знаним богословом, науковцем, професором університету Лойола-Мерімаунт у Лос-Анджелесі, в минулому - науковим співробітником Йельського та Колумбійського університетів, архімандритом, священнослужителем УПЦ МП Кирилом Говоруном ми записували в неділю, одразу після проведення Собору Помісної церкви. Важливо було по «гарячих слідах» проаналізувати історичну подію; нові реалії, нею сформовані, розставити крапки над «і». До оцінок отця Кирила дослухаються як в Україні, так і далеко за її межами, оскільки сам він є фігурою глобального масштабу.
Відтак, в бесіді з LB.ua ми обговорили процес формування нової Помісної церкви, особливості її Статуту, внутрішні конфлікти передсоборного періоду, перспективи переформатування парафій Московського патріархату тощо. «Я б назвав це початком початку», - резюмує Говорун.

UKRAINE-RUSSIA CONFLICT: THE RELIGIOUS DIMENSION

 The United States Institute of Peace

The Russian government is increasingly seeking to use the Russian Orthodox Church to expand its influence in Ukraine, but the Kremlin is now meeting heightened resistance from many Ukrainian religious communities and particularly from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyiv Patriarchate. The crisis now threatens to split the Ukrainian Church from its historic ties with Moscow, potentially adding a dangerous religious dimension to the simmering war between Russia and Ukraine.
