The Patriarchate of Constantinople and its associated entities (Patriarchate of Alexandria, the various Greek Archdioceses around the world) all endlessly repeat the same lies as the US National Security State – the uncanonical, radical “Orthodox Church of Ukraine” is the real Orthodox Church. Meanwhile, the UOC is not really a Ukrainian Church, but rather a Russian subversive, pseudo Church that has no right to be in the country. Why? Because Patriarch Bartholomew said so with his “Tomos”, and he has the power to do so because he is “first without equals”. These are all damnable lies that allow Western politicians to pose as defenders of religious liberty, even as they trample it. Mike Pompeo, as Secretary of State under Trump, was intimately involved in creating the OCU, and bears massive responsibility for the persecution of the canonical Church. However, thanks to Patriarch Bartholomew, Pompeo can fly around the US posing as the leader of a movement to revive Christian morals in America. He is a total fraud, whose polices have trampled the Body of Christ, but no one is calling him out about that. Former US Vice President Mike Pence also falsely poses as a Christian moral leader, with only Tucker Carlson having had the guts to challenge him on Ukrainian Christian persecution. Of course, what was Pence’s defense against his complicity in Ukrainian Orthodox persecution? It was that he had called Kiev and spoken to the OCU, who told him everything is great! After all, OCU is the “official” Church in Pence’s estimation. Patriarch Bartholomew said so. https://orthodoxreflections.com/the-essential-role-of-patriarch-bartholomew-in-worsening-ukrainian-persecution/
