The Russian Orthodox Church suspects that the Archbishop of the Constantinople Orthodox Church, Job, is experiencing problems with mental and spiritual health. This conclusion was reached in the Moscow Patriarchate after they got acquainted with his interview, in which the Istanbul representative reported that after the decision to start providing autocephaly to non-canonical structures in Kiev, the alleged Ukrainian Orthodox Church no longer exists. "The very alarming statements of Archbishop Job (Gechi). We are seriously concerned about the state of his mental and spiritual health.. If necessary, we are ready to help a fellow with treatment or to send him to study at one of the seminaries of our church, ”said priest Alexander Volkov, a spokesman for Patriarch Kirill, on his Facebook page. In turn, the archpriest and rector of the church of the holy martyr Tatiana at Moscow State University Vladimir Vigilyansky believes that the head of the Constantinople Patriarchate should worry about the health of Job. The archbishop’s statement of “anxiety” lies in the fact that he believes that there can be no exarchates in foreign countries.. But then Fanar needs to get out of Greece, Europe and the USA, staying in Turkey with his 3-4 dozen temples.. It is Patr. Bartholomew should cause a psycho. help for his archbishop or direct him to the first seminary course, "he replied to Volkov’s post. Earlier on Friday, November 2, the representative of the Patriarchate of Constantinople at the World Council of Churches, Archbishop Job of Telmis, said in an interview with the Ukrainian Bureau of the VVC that "from a canonical point of view" now the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate are actually hierarchs of the Ecumenical Throne, and they must now wait for the directives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate regarding their further ministry. Moreover, Job even threatened the ROC with a finger if she continued to oppose autocephaly to Ukrainian schismatics.. He again plunged into the later Middle Ages.. The Archbishop recalled that the patriarchal status was given to the Holy See in the 16th century.. Ecumenical Patriarch Jeremiah II. "This document clearly states that the Moscow bishop is entitled to call himself a patriarch, despite the fact that he must recognize the Patriarch of Constantinople as his head," the ethnic Ukrainian born in the Canadian Montreal noted. The Archbishop suggested that the ROC renounce its autocephaly and urged our church to reason. He also rejected the rumors about the mercantile interest of Constantinople, stressing that, solving the Ukrainian question, the Ecumenical Patriarchate "does not acquire anything". "If the Ecumenical Patriarchate wanted to get something, he could simply revive his metropolis, which existed in Kiev until the end of the XVII century. But Constantinople does not want this. Constantinople wants to donate autocephaly to Ukraine so that Ukraine has its own church ", the archbishop says. True, he forgot to delineate the boundaries of the flock of that medieval metropolis. But it's the little things, no mercenary interest. And yes, the future church of Constantinople plans to name the "Orthodox Church in Ukraine".
Meanwhile, while natives of Canada broadcast how to live and where to pray to indigenous Ukrainians, on Thursday, November 1, the Kharkiv Diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church testified to the loyalty of the Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate and its head Onufry. On the same day, it became known that the Orthodox community in Florence, which was under the jurisdiction of the Constantinople Patriarchate, moved to the Russian Orthodox Church abroad because of disagreement with the actions of Constantinople in Ukraine.
