| Recognition by Greek Church and "domino effect"
A few days ago, the Church media were glued to the monitors, waiting for the long-awaited decision of the Synod of the Greek Church to appear. It concerned the recognition of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. Although ten days ago, no one was particularly waiting for crucial decisions at the August session. Everyone is waiting for October -- it is then that the Synod of the Hierarchy (Council of Bishops in our terminology) will take place in accordance with the Charter of the Orthodox Church of Greece. The meeting of all the bishops, and they are now more than 140 in the Church of Greece, is still a more presentable event than the usual Synod of 12 Metropolitans. It is the Synod of Hierarchy, as a more representative body, that must decide on recognition of the OCU.

In the context of recent events in the Orthodox world, disputes over the boundaries of church institutions often arise between the Patriarchate of Constantinople, Kyiv and Moscow. Ukraine accuses Russia of misappropriating the territory of the Kyiv Metropolis. In its turn, Moscow appeals to the fact that the ancient Kyiv Metropolis differs from the territory of modern Ukraine. RISU decided to clarify this topic, getting advice from historians. Based on this research, we prepared an infographic.

On January 30, 2018, at the premises of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul, Turkey, the President of the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) Eugene Czolij met with Patriarch Bartholomew I, Archbishop of Constantinople - New Rome, the UWC reported.
The UWC President has presented and submitted the Resolution of the Annual General Meeting of the UWC in 2017, which continues to urge the Ecumenical Patriarch to issue Tomos about the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Kyiv Patriarchate. Eugene Czolij also acquainted the Ecumenical Patriarch with the current European integration processes in Ukraine and emphasized the danger of the hybrid war of the Russian Federation both for Ukraine and for peace and stability in the world.
The meeting was also attended by: Vice-President of the Conference of European Churches, Metropolitan Emmanuel of France; Bishop Hilarion of Edmonton and the Western Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Canada; Chief Secretary of the Holy and Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate Archimandrite Joachim Billis; Maxim Vdovychenko, Consul of Ukraine in Istanbul, and Director of the UWC Delegation in Ukraine Serhiy Kasyanchuk.
The UWC President also participated in the Divine Liturgy remembering the Three Saints at the Patriarchal Council of St. George. He attended the reception together with the Ecumenical Patriarch and the hierarchs of the Orthodox Church.
“The Ukrainian World Congress calls on the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and to issue Tomos of autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Kyiv Patriarchate,” said Eugene Czolij, the UWC President.
Previously Eugene Czolij visited Rome to further Ukrainian interests among representatives of the Holy See and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy.
On 29 January 2018, the UWC President met with Prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, Secretary of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches Archbishop Cyril Vasil’ and Director of the Department on Eastern Europe of the Holy See Visvaldas Kulbokas.

Зайдите на сайт "упц кп" - там чётко написано, что она является "автокефальной". Кто же врет и бредит: сайт "упц кп" или ВСУ (Е.Чолий) ? Или все заврались и запутались в собственной лжи? Хотят автокефалию (т.е. независимость) от кого? Разве "упц кп" кому-то подчиняется, от кого-то зависит, или над ней есть "начальство"? Нет! Так от кого какой ещё независимости им надо?
Томос от Фанара, по замыслу авторов этой Резолюции, просто призван ПОДТВЕРДИТЬ (легализовать) уже существующую автокефалию УПЦ КП. ------------ Однако у кое-кого, как видится, эта неуёмная злоба и едва ли не истерическая ненависть и нетерпимость к этой Церкви, напрочь затмевают ("отключает") элементарную логику и понимание явно простых вещей...
Резолюция ? Хорошо что не петиция.Политический фарс сплачивает их в этом конгрессе, но пользы для Украины от не было и нет.
Очень интересно: о какой такой "пользе для Украины" может так "заботиться" и беспокоиться" явный и отпетый промосковский импер-шовинист?! Естественно, что о такой, что замыслили и - во что бы то ни стало - пытаются для неё реализовать Кремль-ФСБ-МП!
