Скачать или смотреть Pan-Orthodox Gathering: No results for Ukraine after historic Council on Crete

The decade that changed the world - this is how the Pan-Orthodox Church Gathering is being called now. After ten days of negotiating and voting the patriarchs are said to finally declare their decision, although the results in whole are still unknown, since the meeting was closed to the media.

Those willing to unite the motley palette of orthodox Christianity achieved their goal. In turn those striving for further split simply ignored the event and did not come to Greece.

His All Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew has become the only acknowledged Orthodox leader, supported by the churches of Constantinople, Cyprus, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Romania, Greece, Albania, Czechia, Poland, and Serbia - the latter was considered to be loyal to Russia. The Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Kirill was supported in turn only by four patriarchates, that is Bulgarian, Georgian, and Antioch, dependent mainly either on Moscow patriarchate or on Syrian authorities, also loyal to Russia.

The most important decision though from Ukrainian position is recognizing the illegitimacy of the Act of 1686 according to which the Kyiv metropolitan was allegedly attached to the Moscow Patriarchate, confirmed by His All Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew.
