All this past year the CEMES foundation worked on a scholarly project, which examined the Ukrainian crisis from a theological, historical and canonical perspective, always in relation to the triptych: Primacy-Conciliarity-Autocephaly.

Interference impossible to ignore, or what should the state do with religious policy?
All states of the world have in place a policy regarding religion and associations that citizens set up based on this religion's ground. The atheistic government of China and theocratic government of Iran, the mighty United States and tiny Andorra – just every one of them.

UGCC Patriarch discusses Patriarchal Council in Lviv with the head of Lviv regional state administration
On November 25, in Lviv, the Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, his Beatitude Sviatoslav, met with the Chairman of the Lviv regional state administration, Markian Malsky. The meeting focuses on the holding of the Patriarchal Council in Lviv in August 2020: "Emigration, settlement and global unity of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church". This is reported by the UGCC Information Department.
"We ask ourselves where there are Ukrainians traveling outside the state, how to accompany them, how to provide them with proper pastoral support. We have chosen a theme that, on the one hand, puts the spotlight on this phenomenon, and on the other hand – we understand that our old settlements will change a lot. Therefore, there is a question of what life in the settlements will look like in a few years and how we will design new structures there, how to maintain relations with these people. After all, for more than a century of history, our Church was the link that connected the Ukrainian world into a single whole and we want to modernize this experience, " Patriarch Sviatoslav said.
An important place in the framework of the Cathedral will be dedicated to the world Congress of Ukrainians, because, as his Beatitude Sviatoslav added, one of the objectives of the event will be to meet representatives of the Diaspora.
In turn, the head of the region assured the guests of the support of the West. In particular, the parties discussed issues of promotion, logistics, participation of representatives of diplomatic agencies in the event, presentation within the framework of the regional development event and others.
The meeting with the head of Lviv regional state administration was attended by Metropolitan Volodymyr Gruza, auxilizry Bishop of Lviv Archeparchy, and Fr Roman Shafran, Secretary of the VII session of the Patriarchal Council, and Fr. Oleg Oleksa, personal Secretary of the Head of the UGCC.
It should be noted that the VII session of the Patriarchal Council will be held on August 26-29, 2020. The slogan of the Council is "Church is always and everywhere with you." The Council will be held within the walls of the Lviv theological Seminary of the Holy Spirit. Overall, about three hundred delegates from around the world are expected. Before the Council, each diocese will hold its own Diocesan Council.
It should be noted that the Patriarchal Council is held every five years. The UGCC Synod hopes that the VII session of the Patriarchal Council will become a tool that will help formulate the Church's strategy for the next decade.

Так, вони - проімперські московські і промосковські (в Україні) церковники, безумовно, "знають", що чинять... Але це - т. зв. їхнє "знання" продиктоване і накинуте їм, по суті...

П.Velovs, я не можу і не в праві заперечити слова Господа нашого Іісуса Христа, але скажу московські церковники добре знають, що вони чинять. І тут хотілося б нагадати свою позицію, щодо істерики

"Патріаршого" - не смішіть мої капці. Зглядно на інтереси римо-католицької церкви в РФ та гроші Путіна у Ватиканському банку Папа НІКОЛИ не проголосить патріархату.
"НІКОЛИ не кажи: "НІКОЛИ""... :)
Тим паче, що геть не знаємо того, що може статися завтра чи післязавтра чи ще колись попереду... Й, ніяк не виключено, що в Москві чинний путінський режим впаде і рухне. Й, загалом, в РФ, скажімо, можуть (при цьому) вибухнути зовсім несподівані руйнівні тенденції і події, які - як знати - здатні будуть призвести до її розхитування і остаточного розвалу і краху... ------ Як, наприклад, на зламі 80-90-х рр. ХХ ст. майже блискавично розпався т. зв. "європейський соцтабір", слідом за яким невдовзі канула в Лету і, власне, сама Московська комуно-совдепівська "імперія зла, безбожництва і беззаконня"... ------- Ну а наразі логічно буде припускати й очікувати, що скоро вже черга наспіє і за її "юридичною правонаступницею" - нинішньою імперсько-шовіністською країною-агресором (РФ)... :)
Як хочуть так і називають. Он Філарет же хотів ввести для "внутрішніх справ" патріархат )) Мабуть в католицькій церкві статус патріархату не грає того значення , щоб на такі викиди "сопричасних" церков звертали увагу. Чим би дитина не бавилась ....
