Time Magazine issued a lying screed of one “Bishop” Kliment… a “cleric” of the uncanonical and illegitimate “Kiev Patriarchate”. If you wish to read it all, click here (hold your nose, its utter hokum from stem to stern). Note this:
Their religious schism, the split between the Kiev and the Moscow branches of Orthodoxy, was nothing new. It began almost 20 years ago, soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union, when the head of the faith in Ukraine, Patriarch Filaret, demanded more autonomy from his superiors in Moscow to develop an independent branch of the church in Ukraine. The clerical council in Russia, known as the Holy Synod, not only refused that request but deemed it heretical, and the Moscow Patriarchate has been building a rival network of churches across Ukraine ever since.
The chutzpah of this is breathtaking. Firstly, Filaret Denisenko only thought up his “Kiev Patriarchate” after the MP Holy Synod rejected him as Patriarch in 1990. Filaret was locum tenens and fully expected to win election as Patriarch, but his corrupt ways turned off the Holy Synod. His group is the parvenus, not the UOC/MP, for the MP wasn’t “building a rival network of churches”… the MP was the established church in the region. Filaret’s group was the one founding a network of new parishes. Also, do note that the Time Magazine article doesn’t mention that the MP deposed Filaret for good cause… for massive extortion and forming a schismatic church body. You can see that the author of this article was an ignoranus who knows nothing of Orthodox Church history or tradition.
However, this is the Langley party line… supported by all the slobbering neocons in the District. Truly, we have to make Potapov condemn Langley publicly and repent of his actions of having been part of the American propaganda apparat or remove him from his office as pastor of the parish in Washington… we can’t have someone who openly collaborated with the enemies of the Church, who refused to repent of that publicly, as our spokesman in that sensitive area. It’d be well for Paffhausen to publicly condemn his neocon pals, too.
The motherland is in danger, and we can’t support those who poise a dagger at our Mother Church’s back. It’s quite that simple.
