It seemed would be good news for believers and all Ukrainians in general. Some may say, well, finally, there is one less outpost of rashism in Ukraine. But let's understand what is called point by point, figuratively, and in the truest sense of the word.
Probably, you have already heard that the so-called Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, and in fact the Russian Church in Ukraine, at its Synod on May 27, 2022 adopted a high-profile resolution, where, among other things (by the way, literally, among other things), how – something quite casually, in paragraph # 4, adopted “relevant additions and changes to the Charter on the management of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, indicating the complete independence and independence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.”
Maneuver
First, about the name itself. “Resolution of the Council of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of May 27, 2022”. Someone sees in the name the affiliation of this so-called church, and in fact a branch of the FSB, to the Moscow Patriarchate? No. A filigree maneuver to suddenly, sometime later, say that mistakes were made in the wording, so the resolution itself can be considered null and void. Moreover, we already know that Tomos is not Tomos, you are impostors, and we are the only Orthodox, do not smoke my censer.
Move on. Preamble. “The Council of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (hereinafter referred to as the Council), which was held on May 27, 2022 in the city of Kyiv, considered the issues of church life that arose as a result of the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.”
27 May 2022. Pay attention to the date. It turns out that the Ukrainian people have been fighting since 2014, Muscovites have been raping and killing Ukrainians for more than eight (8!) years, and the so-called Ukrainian Orthodox Church is quietly pausing, as if waiting for their Cahors to acquire the best bouquet, so that later, rusting them gold teeth, make your strong statement.
And here she is super decisive.
Point one. “The council condemns the war as a violation of God's commandment “Thou shalt not kill!” (Ex. 20:13) and expresses condolences to all who suffered in the war.”
You see? Not? Wipe your eyes from tears. They condemn what? That's right – war! War is to blame for everything! This damned war broke the commandment of God! Guards General Onufry, order to ban wars! After all, war kills, because of it, who suffered. And the question is who? Do you see the answer? The answer of the UOC-MP is “everyone”. Well, that is, this Muscovite female creature, who called on her husband, who broke into Ukraine, to torture Ukrainian children, she also suffered. Of course, there are sanctions, there is no sugar, moonshine is difficult to brew, and parried has not been announced in the barlog for a long time. They, too, suffer. So the UOC (MP) “expresses condolences” to them. Why haven't they added “deep concern” yet. It would have been more spectacular, maybe after that we crawled on our knees to the stolen Lavra, and began to kiss their hands, which did not shoot at anyone.
“Fantastic diplomacy”
Point two. It feasts on fantastic diplomacy from the virtuosos of reconciliation, and at the same time the educators of spotters of Moscow fire on peaceful Ukrainians.
“The Council appeals to the authorities of Ukraine and the authorities of the Russian Federation with a request to continue the negotiation process and the search for a strong and reasonable a word that could stop the bloodshed”.
You see, the whole problem is that they still have not found a reasonable word to stop the bloodshed! And there would be a word, this is bloodshed, as they taught you in the KGB, wait a couple of times? That is, who is to blame, God forgive me, Putin and Gudnyaev? Not! Not this way! Guilty are those who have not yet picked up a strong and clever word! And what you thought, from the evil one, from the fact that you are people, a flock, you are imperfect and did not study in Katsap seminaries. Go sign up there, but when you are given shoulder straps at the end of the exercises, then you will sweep away all, so to speak, the truth of what the UOC(MP) said in paragraph number two. It is only surprising that usually “first there was a word”, and among the field marshals of the Moscow Patriarchate it is in second place. Not in order! Maybe rewrite it, otherwise it's not canonical?
Point three. And here is the legendary deep concern.
“We express our disagreement with the position of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia on the war in Ukraine.”
I won't say that most of those who went to ordinary Ukrainian educational institutions, and not to Moscow seminaries, would rather use the word Express instead of the dubious Express, but let's skip it. After all, this is just that strong and smart word that everyone has lost. The most important thing is the truthfulness in the words of the Synod of the UOC (MP), their “disagreement”. Maybe you want to read between the lines? Try, but you are unlikely to find something more. They do not agree with the position. No, they don't condemn, they don't agree. Well, don't judge and you won't be judged, right? Moreover, to condemn the boss in such a delicate matter, when the elder blessed and sprinkled holy water on swamp army number 2 for a feat of arms, and in our opinion, for the murder, rape and execution of Ukrainians, including the same Ukrainians, who for some reason reasons, they still considered themselves faithful to the MP, and some were faithful until their death, which received a blessing from the chief of the Moscow sect of Putin's witnesses. By the way, they will also be witnesses at the Hague Tribunal.
Instead of repentance and pleas for forgiveness of sins from the people of Ukraine, the Synod of the UOC(MP) simply took and waved the kirusha with a pointing finger: Ai, ai, ai, kiruha! What are you so? We don't agree!
Point four. Sensational! What the Ukrainians expected so much under shelling and bombardment has finally happened.
“The Council adopted the appropriate additions and amendments to the Charter on the administration of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, testifying to the complete independence and independence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church”.
Wait! And what about Onufriev's previous numerous statements that the UOC(MP) was already pursuing a policy independent of Muscovy? Is that why you don't believe anymore? Then when to believe – now? What if… And here comes a bunch of times.
I don’t know what was written there in the Charter of these majors in a cassock, but if earlier the Moscow administration of the UOC was carried out from Moscow, and this was spelled out in the Charter, and now as a result of an eight-year multi-pass, this is a stain on the cassock-uniform of the pro-Russian It was decided to decisively remove the priests, then the question naturally arises of re-registration of the Charter. As far as I remember, according to the legislation of Ukraine, the statutes of religious organizations are subject to mandatory registration with the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine. And here is the move for Mr. Minister Alexander Tkachenko. Knowing the Minister personally, I can assure you that he is a smart and experienced person, and he read this spy game as well as ours.
What could be the development of events?
Of course, there are two obvious options. The first. The Ministry of Culture will re-register the Charter of the UOC (MP) and help them remove this stain, and they will now become clean. But when you ask, be prepared to be asked of you. What will it be? Should the UOC leave the Lavra? Send Pasha-Mercedes to Vologda, where else? I don't know, but there will be counterclaims.
I can only imagine if Mr. Tkachenko remembers his years on the plus side and decides to make the comedian laugh:
Ok, fathers, we will re-register your Charter, but let's make some changes to your name, because the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is somehow not comme il faut. I have an offer. So that there is no confusion in numerous church organizations, let's not be Orthodox, but Left-Orthodox. How do you like it?
Alexander, we are not against it in principle, we sell candles to the right, to the left, where to go. But, as soon as Dobkin was ordained a deacon, we are afraid that he will get confused, but he will cover everything with obscenities during the sermon.
Yes, again, not comme il faut, not the style. And then let's replace the word Ukrainian… Pechersk. You are used to climbing caves, and according to surveys, your believers are within the statistical error, no more than the population of Pechersk during the period of active hostilities near Kyiv.
Mr. Minister, you, of course, picked up a beautiful word, but you understand the thing in what, we are just removing the spot of the MP, because people no longer go for prostochki, there is nothing to fill Pasha's Mercedes with. The word “Ukrainian blood from the nose” is for us to return the scale, besides, the elder will not understand.
I understand, not the right center of gravity. Well then, try replacing the word Church with, for example, Service.
Service? And what a cool option, clear. Service of God and Federal Security Service. We think it suits us, and the botox chef will like it too!
All right, let's decide. You will have a Ukrainian Orthodox Service, but the Union of Right Forces will be shortened, oh grandfather it eghein!
Jokes aside, but the re-registration of the Charter of the UOC (MP) should activate a bunch of questions. For you can always ask, who are you? Because, you see, the state used to deal with the MP, and a bunch of contracts actually hang on them, and now, if you are no longer the MP, then who are you? Are contracts cancelled? Is the property free? Candles in the defense fund?
Or, let's imagine a variant, the Ministry of Culture makes a subtle diplomatic move and does not re-register the Charter. What should Onufry and other masters of the Old Slavonic epistolary genre do? Will there be more MPs with the spot? Like, we wanted to, but we were forced to! Will the uprising of Mercedes with a cross on their belly for the freedom of the UOC from the MP? Or self-dissolution? – Forgive me, God, a sinner! Looking for an answer? She is simple. They will do anything to renew the line for candles, and mix Moscow Truth in incense. And there you look, and you can again change the kirusha with a non-evil word.
But, the theological question will still have to be solved. As the Onufrian DRG all the time claimed, Tomos-Not Tomos, Epiphany the upstart, Poroshenko the confectioner, and Bartholomew, no one at all, and all this is kapets not canonical, but canonical only where kirukha and Vladimir reign, and OCU schismatics. What comes out. If the UOC (MP) so resolutely decided to get out of the omophorion of Moscow, that is, canonical, then now the UOC will not be recognized, not canonical, as I understand it? Maybe the super cunning plan of the Cheka provided for such a, so to speak, church collision, and the Kirul gave preliminary instructions.
Brothers, you kagbe crawl away, and if the dill asks about the canons, then I will tell you I'll cut off a piece from the canon and hand it over almost.
your way, but the mail does not work between russia and new russia for reasons of specialization blessed by you!
Otherwise, nothing, my humble ones, I will hand it over to you at the SU-27. So I will write in golden Church Slavonic letters on the bartu – Canonically, Kyiv, Kirill. Abbreviated KKK
Or another option, the UOC decides to give a damn about the canons. And what? We are the new Church of the new Ukraine, just let us now destroy the old mer to the ground, and then … Well, especially since the old mer, the boss on the party line, is already destroying from the heart, what does that devil have instead.
< p dir="auto"> Item five.
“The Council approves the decisions of the Councils of Bishops of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the decisions of the Holy Synods of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the meetings of which took place in the period after the last Council of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (July 8, 2011). The Council approves the activities of the Office of Affairs and the Synodal Institutions of the Ukrainian.”
I'm not a theologian, and not a theologian, therefore, in my crap mind, it's impossible to figure it out without the SBU. It looks like some kind of encryption followed by instructions for subversion. Maybe Mr. Bakanov knows?
Point six
“The Council had reflections on the renewal of the worldview in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church”.
Again, I admit that I am not an expert in such a delicate matter, but the word “recovery” hurts the eye. As you know, worldview is a sign of the Church's autocephaly. That is, it turns out that the UOC once cooked. What happened, why did you stop? Who banned? Moscow? By what right? And if restored, on what grounds? Who will give the right? Bartholomew or Cyril, I'm not afraid of this word, gundyaev? It seems to me that peace in the UOC will be brewed according to the northern recipe, and given that the order to erase the stain of the MP has been given, this chrismation will no longer be called “Russian measures”, but … Little Russian, but for conspiracy to call it will be loudly Ukrainian.
Point six.
“For a period of martial law, when ties between the dioceses and the church's governing center are complicated or absent, the Council considers it expedient to give diocesan bishops the right to independently make decisions on certain issues of diocesan life that fall within the competence of the Holy Synod or the Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. with the subsequent, upon restoration of the possibility, by informing the clergy”.
It’s like, they say, adjust the fire further, and if anything, then we didn’t know anything, because the period of martial law is the same. And if we successfully brew myro and a Russian measure comes out, then you will tell everything. And we have already punched a hole on the tunic under the asterisk!
Point seven.
“Recently, a new pastoral challenge has been especially acute for our Church. During the three months of the war, more than 6 million citizens of Ukraine were forced to go abroad. These are mainly Ukrainians from the southern, eastern and central regions of Ukraine. Church Therefore, the Kyiv Metropolis of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church receives appeals from different countries with requests to open Ukrainian Orthodox parishes expresses its deep conviction that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church cannot leave its faithful without spiritual guardianship, should be next to them in their trials and organize church communities in diaspora, language and Orthodox identity”
And here, as a person in exile, I will have my say. Thank you, unholy fathers, but we don't need anything from you. We are well and without you orientated. There are churches with Asian bows instead of bathhouses, so you can’t go there with your foot – there are Putinids. And in our churches, everything is simple, here they don’t remember Cyril anyway, at least with a kind word. So you, one day, without these planetary scales, cook localized there. And we will accept new Ukrainians, instruct and suggest the correct addresses. If there won't be enough churches, we'll build them ourselves, as we've been doing for years.
Point eight.
“Realizing the special responsibility before God, the Council expresses deep regret over the lack of unity in Ukrainian Orthodoxy. The Council perceives the existence of a schism as a deep painful wound on the church body. It is especially annoying that the last actions of the Patriarch of Constantinople in Ukraine, which was the formation of the Church of Ukraine”, only deepened misunderstandings and led to physical confrontation, but even in such crisis circumstances, the Council does not lose hope for the resumption of dialogue.
- stop the seizure of churches and forced transfers of parishes of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
- realize that their canonical status, as it is fixed in the “Charter of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine”, is actually non-autocephalous and significantly inferior to the freedoms and opportunities in the implementation of church activities, which are provided for by the Charter on the governance of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
- to resolve the issue of the canonicity of the OCU hierarchy, because for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, as well as for most Local Orthodox Churches, it is quite obvious that in order to recognize the canonicity of the OCU hierarchy, it is necessary to restore the apostolic heredity of its bishops.
The Council expresses its deep conviction that the key to the success of the dialogue should be not only the desire to restore church unity, but also a sincere desire to build one's life on the basis of Christian conscience and moral purity.”
You see, the UOC is aware of a special responsibility before God. Special! That is, you, lackeys, have a simple responsibility, while the UOC has a special one. Where did they pick her up? Is it not from the special historical role of the long-suffering people that the swamps? No matter how later, those who were not involved in the “special” were not denazified right in front of the altar of the UOC.
“The Council expresses deep regret over the lack of unity in Ukrainian Orthodoxy.” It's a pity? So you did not go with the Ukrainian people and did not support the creation of an autocephalous one in your time, but remained “faithful” to the Orthodox Chekists. Remind the survey of how many Ukrainians still identify themselves as faithful to the UOC(MP)? A little more and Komsmol Orthodoxy will be studied only by scientists under a microscope, and then they will be called atavism altogether, and they will not pay attention. Although, I would advise law enforcement agencies to follow, what if you say that the second Resurrection happened, and Lenin is young again. We don't need this, it's not canonical.
“The Council perceives the existence of a schism as a deep, painful wound on the body of the Church.”
Everyone, forget the word schism about Ukrainian Orthodoxy. It's practically merged. The majority identify themselves as believers of the OCU, another rather large group belongs to the UGCC. And I have not heard that the believers of these churches divided something among themselves. They lived peacefully together, now they fight together, and then they will baptize their children together, but without you. God willing, so these Churches will gain the strength to unite. But the split, now the word, what kiryunya, will attach to you. You are now schismatics. Checkmate! By the way, you don't have enough swearing, but I'll refrain, although it's hard.
“It is especially unfortunate that the recent actions of the Patriarch of Constantinople in Ukraine, which resulted in the formation of the “Orthodox Church of Ukraine”, only deepened misunderstandings and led to physical confrontation. But even in such crisis circumstances, the Council does not lose hope for the resumption of dialogue.”
That is, Bartholomew is to blame for, as you called it, physical confrontation? I did not confuse anything? Were these rockets flying to Kyiv from Constantinople? Was it in Bucha that women were raped by special envoys of His Divine All-Holiness? All right? So who, then, if Bartholomew approves some kind of autocephaly for you – Cyril? Something a lot of fleas in the legend. Sit down, two. Send not retraining, can you call Vladimir, he is a famous historian, something will tell you how to get out.
“But even in such crisis circumstances, the Council does not lose hope for the resumption of dialogue.” My God, what humility and holiness! Just wait, what's next? And then, according to the manual of the Cheka, we turn to blackmail:
“In order for the dialogue to take place, the OCU representatives need:”
Who needs ? To you? Because the Ukrainians have already moved on, without you. And you have no need for the Ukrainians. Do you need anything. We're just here to find out what it is.
“stop the forcible seizure of churches and forced transfers of parishes of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church”.
Sorry, comrade officers, you are not talking about May 4, when the Russian army struck an air strike on the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Lavra in Kramatorsk, which, by some tolerant miracle, is still under the occupation of the MP? Maybe Bartholomew fired at her? You say we will react.
“to realize that their canonical status, as it is fixed in the “Charter of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine”, is in fact non-autocephalous and significantly inferior to the freedoms and opportunities in the implementation of church activities, which are provided for by the Charter on the governance of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.”
Is it actually non-autocephalous? What kind of combination of words is this tricky? And who is practically autocephalous then? And from whom is autocephalous? From Cyril? From Bartholomew? Where are you? And more importantly, and now you gentlemen, who, whose will you be? WTO charter worse than yours? Yes, it is not in the Charter, but in deeds. What difference does it make to students who, with what Charter, opened the gates of Mikhailovsky Golden-domed when they were shot by Berkut? The main thing is that they extended a helping hand in a terrible time. And where were you at that time, did you improve the Charter? Well, show it later at God's Court, may He check the level of your freedoms and opportunities in the implementation of your church activities, as you called it.
“to resolve the issue of the canonicity of the OCU hierarchy, because for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, as well as for most Local Orthodox Churches, it is quite obvious that in order to recognize the canonicity of the OCU hierarchy, it is necessary to restore the apostolic heredity of its bishops.”
Here it is and the main question of the multi-move, about the raider passion for the OCU by the Christists. It is clear that we are talking about the fact that now the OCU, which they call non-autocephalous in the previous paragraph, is headed by bishops who do not have apostolic heredity. Obviously, the succession officers lead only after the annexation of the Kyiv Metropolis in 1685. OK. Let's turn to the universal mind of our times Wikipedia:
“The annexation of the Kyiv Metropolis by the Moscow Patriarchate is a historic event, a long process associated with the inclusion of Cossack statehood in the Russian monarchy, which began in 1685 with the ordination of Metropolitan Gideon of Kyiv by the Moscow Patriarch Joachim in Muscovy and ended in 1722,) in the rank of archbishop, not metropolitan. of this time, the Kyiv Metropolia actually turns into one of the ordinary dioceses of the Church of the Russian Empire. The main reason for the annexation was the act of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople of 1686, which gave the right to consecrate the Kyiv Metropolitan of Constantinople first and thereby confirm the power of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople over the Kyiv Metropolis. The act was issued by Ecumenical Patriarch Dionysius IV (later received an anathema) and the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, under the pressure of difficult historical circumstances.The church-historical and canonical assessment of this event is very different in the Russian and Constantinople Orthodox churches.
The Russian Orthodox Church claims that this was a “transfer” of the Kyiv Metropolis, and the official position of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople says that there was only an “Act” in which they gave the right to ordain the Kyiv Metropolitan to the Moscow Patriarch and spiritually minister to the Metropolis, while the Metropolis itself remained. Patriarchate of Constantinople. The Metropolitan of Kyiv was to first commemorate the Ecumenical Patriarch, and then the Moscow one.
Okay, let's say that Epiphanius, as you say, is not the heir. So who then is Onufry? Bat! So this is the key to understanding. Kirill, according to this Neshtanmayer formula, should find out Onufry as the Metropolitan of the OCU, and then the same reasonable and strong word will immediately be found that will establish peace. Peace with whom? With Cyril? So why are you leaving him? Maybe in order to bring him later a gift from the party in the form of the OCU, but already under the leadership of the UOC? Well, rude, very rude! Stirlitz would have failed long ago with such unintelligent impudence.
So that's what I ventured into this longread. I confess that I am a believer, but not too religious. Therefore, I usually do not get involved in church affairs. But here, you see, this is not a church matter, but rather it is about the activation of another front. We are talking about the beginning of another “special operation”. Unlike the usual front, when the enemy is in another trench, this enemy is trying to capture us from the inside. And the most cynical thing is that Chekists in cassocks are aiming not even at the hearts, but at the souls of Ukrainians, dekuts naive, and sometimes inexperienced. Like, what difference does it make which church you go to. But there is a difference. Because these virtuosos of prayer are ready to take on any form and any face in order to achieve their goal. The purpose of the Council of the UOC (MP) was not repentance before the Ukrainian people, that faithfully all these years they served not God and their people, but Kirill and his boss Putin. They would kneel before the graves of the dead, they would go to liberate Azov in Mariupol, they would recognize their sin, and abandon their deeds and abundance, and go as simple monks to Ukrainian monasteries, and pray until the end of their days for forgiveness, and they power is divided.
Why this text is important
This text is not needed by most of my friends. You are all educated people and understand everything without my comments. But this text may prompt others. Tell this to those grandmothers that you translate across the road and help to survive in this terrible time. Open your eyes, show them the truth.
I know that katsap bots are attacking this text, and facebook will remove it pretty soon, for some violations of some rules there. Distribute it, copy it and let others read it.
With God's help, Ukraine will win. Soon the Ukrainians will liberate all their lands, and with them they will clear the temples from collaborators.
And if we swallow it this time, then there's no hope left. And one day the whole column will come to the Verkhovna Rada with the demands of their synod: We demand, they say, to rename us, and from now on we are not the fifth, but the sixth column.
And finally, I will allow myself a little advice to the lord President.
We hear here that the opinion prevails in the OP that the ban on the MP in Ukraine is not the right time. I understand your concerns and they have nothing to do with the concept of time. I think you have at least two other concerns.
First. You are a Jew, and it probably seems to you that the enemies of Ukraine are using this fact. Look, they say, Lavrov will say, the Jews are not only the Nazis, but also Ukrainian churches are being closed. Do not be afraid of what the enemies will say, but be afraid of what the Ukrainian people will say. And he will be grateful to you. Moreover, the MP has never been a Ukrainian church.
Second. I am almost sure that what worries you is that the ban on the UOC will be an important factor in strengthening the OCU. And I understand that your persistent associations with the WTO are connected with the fact that your predecessor, Petro Poroshenko, assisted in obtaining the Tomos. So take another big step. The voters have given you almost absolute power. The same voters are eager to ban the UOC – this branch of the FSB. Ban the UOC(MP). Believe me, this step will be no less powerful than receiving Tomos. This will be a historic step that citizens will associate with President Zelensky.
Glory to Ukraine!
