Subject: Putin’s Holy Man Pushed for the ‘Eradication’ of Ukraine
|
Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill appears to be just as bloodthirsty as Vladimir Putin himself. A. Craig Copetas Published Mar. 22, 2022 4:42AM ET Beneath the gold onion domes of the Danilov Monastery a few miles south of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin’s chief shaman explains why Russia is hell-bent on destroying Ukraine. “If we see [Ukraine] as a threat, we have the right to use force to ensure the threat is eradicated,” Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill recently preached to his church’s 90 million faithful followers. “We have entered into a conflict which has not only physical but also metaphysical significance. We are talking about human salvation, something much more important than politics.” “Putin and Kirill are attached at the hip.” As the patriarch sees it, Ukrainians are sinners. “Many people out of weakness, stupidity, ignorance and most often a willingness to justify sin condemned by the Bible is a test of our ability to profess faith in our Savior,” Kirill has told his flock. In Western capitals, Hopwood-Philipps says, Kirill’s muscular significance has been either disregarded or lost in translation. “Putin would execute any Russian churchman who disagrees with Kirill,” he says. “Putin and Kirill are attached at the hip, and they’ve shaped religion to offer the Russian people spiritual nourishment instead of physical sustenance.” Putin’s scheme to resurrect symphonia and leverage it to gain influence beyond Russia’s borders reached its crescendo at a ceremony in Moscow in 2007, when Putin hosted the signing of the Act of Canonical Communion with the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. Kirill was appointed Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus’ in 2009, heading a a global congregation of more than 140 million. Since then, about 100 of the 340 clergymen who administer the Church Abroad community have swapped cassocks to join Orthodox churches not affiliated with Putin, according to Dr. Stratos Safioleas, spokesman for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of New York. A further 145 U.S. Church Abroad parishes have so far followed suit. “We need Frodo.” A Russian Orthodox Church in Amsterdam has also left the parish over threats it’s received for condemning Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. “It is no longer possible for [us] to function within the Moscow Patriarchate and provide a spiritually safe environment for our faithful,” the parish council of St. Nicholas of Myra said in a statement. As for the rebel priests left behind in Russia, history could offer a lesson on what to expect next from the Kremlin. According to the diary of Johann Korb, the Austrian secretary of the Legation to the Court of Peter the Great, the Ukraine-born Exarch Stefan Yavorsky begged the tsar to stop torturing those who disagreed with him. “What business is it of yours to come here,” the Romanov tsar shouted. “It is a duty that I owe God, to save my people from harm and to prosecute with public vengeance crimes that lead to the common ruin.” So what would it take to defenestrate Putin and the patriarch from further wrecking Russia and annihilating Ukraine? “We need Frodo,” sighs Sergey Buntman, the program director for the now-muzzled Echo Moscow Radio, eyeing to the Hobbit who toppled Mordor in The Lord of the Rings as the only liberator with the mystical wallop to save both countries. The wartime coalition between Putin and his patriarch is called symphonia, an ironclad alliance between church and state that assures reciprocal reverence, with neither institution presuming to dominate the other. Theologians have spent centuries bickering over the fine points, which have now impaled 44 million Ukrainians as the victims of a bloodthirsty land-grab that Putin and the Patriarch have packaged as a holy campaign to cleanse souls. “A new world order is born before our very eyes,” is how Putin described the relationship in a statement published at the start of the war, later warning those who disagreed with him “inflict maximum damage on people.” He said: “The Russian people will be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors and spit them out like a midge that accidentally flew into their mouths.” To be sure, the only lingering question is how far into repression and hideous cruelty can Putin and his patriarch descend before the means no longer justify the ends. Byzantine and Orthodox church historian Henry Hopwood-Philipps reckons NATO and all those who stand against Putin’s klepto-theocratic regime are in for a long wait. “The information war, the military war against Putin looks to be effective,” Hopwood-Philipps says. “But for all the West’s digital gunpowder, we’re up against nearly 700 years of a deeply entrenched otherworldly belief system.” |

And Pope Francis was planning to go to Moscow to "consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart." That won't happen now. |

fwiw, I misunderstood and was a tad confused thinking Francis was going to Rome as the consecration is still on but will happen in Rome not Moscow. My apologies you are correct. I just happened across an article happenstance on the topic. |

Why did they wait so long? Doesn't make sense. The 1980's would have been a perfect time after the Fall of Communism for a Pope to go to Russia for the Consecration. |

I had not known about that till I read it on international board in an article charles posted dated March 15 (link at top). Seems it is still on I just checked here is a link on that: https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2022/03/20/ukraine-mary-prayer-peace-242637 I saw a clip where the president of Ukraine talked to Francis today. It's one of their planned rituals so there's that. |

hmm...something is going to happen here at this meeting in Russia with RCC Francis and Russian Orthodox Kirill if and when the man made named date of March 25. 2022 comes as usual and the meeting does indeed happen as planned....It may be about something that gives the appearance of peace but underneath the appearance it's something else and part of an agenda for the final underworld order same as other recent events. Would they sacrifice unknowing souls to achieve that? Yes they would and I feel it's one of the reasons it's televised as it is with cell phones and such...this was in my third dream about Putin with the "model woman". Imo most of what the world is seeing has been staged behind the scenes scripted long ago using a mixture of truth and lies.~Eve --Here is an article about the conversation between the Ukrainian actor-comedian president and RCC Francis this week, a short video clip summary is further below in this post: https://www.ncronline.org/news/vatican/pope-francis-speaks-ukraine-president-zelensky-2nd-time-offers-vatican-peace p.s. the first dream of Putin had leopard skin on chairs and it brought me to consider a prophecy in the book of Revelation chapter 13 about the beast from the sea. I also found an image of Putin with a Persian leopard....This in essence tells me personally a leopard cannot change it's spots, it's still the same...although some want to and will be led to believe otherwise. The RCC Francis meeting with the "patriarch" churches Kirill should be interesting outcome it might come about looking like man made religious salvation of the flesh or something altogether different like another military crusade which imo it's been that all along...tricky stuff, illusions. While I am considering all this something else altogether different may happen before, during or after Friday March 25. It seems to me this meeting has been planned and in the works since since long ago even before the ones involved were birthed to fill the role. The Beast from the Sea Then I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the sea. There were ten royal crowns on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. The beast I saw was like a leopard, with the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3One of the heads of the beast appeared to be mortally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world marveled and followed the beast.… https://biblehub.com/revelation/13-2.htm Here is more on article also about Russian patriarch church Kirill and RCC Francis one on thier meeting in Havana in 2016 (reminds me of another dream I had about a cuban ballroom dance called the mambo). I wonder if maybe the 1000 year "rift" was scripted for the world stage theater before it began... --RCC Francis meets with Russian Orthodox Kririll in cuba for the first ritual meeting in 1000 years: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/feb/12/pope-francis-russian-orthodox-patriarch-kirill-make-history-cuba-first-meeting-in-1000-years --RCC pope speaks via video conference ritual with Russian Orthodox patriarch March 16, 2022: https://catholicreview.org/pope-speaks-with-russian-orthodox-patriarch/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ukrainian president told the Pope he would welcome the Holy See's offer to act as a mediator in the conflict.
