Raise your voice, Council of Churches says to Patriarch Kirill

The editor of the web portal Orthodox Times has described Moscow’s Patriarch Kirill as part of the propaganda machine. Efi Efthimiou wrote that in a comment on Monday. And a diocese in Ukraine “no longer wants to hear the name of Kirill” any longer.

The Russian Orthodox Church is silent about Russia’s attack on neighbouring Ukraine. President Putin does not have to worry about possible criticism from the Russian Church either.

The Russian Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church plead peace between the two countries. Recently, tensions have increased enormously, and a military conflict looms.
