Porky just doesn't quit does he? KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s president says the Constantinople patriarchy has approved a decree granting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church independence from the Russian Orthodox Church.
The Ukrainian church has formally been under the Russian Orthodox Church for centuries. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, who is expected to seek re-election next year, has been portraying an independent church as one of his major goals.
The Russian government and the Russian Orthodox Church strongly oppose the move.My question is, why would Russia care? [ link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] Quoting: Kingzzor The old orthodoxy cares that a certain basilica in Istanbul has painted over Christ on the cupola.
