What hypocrites! How many Protestant congregations prayed for the military and support troops in their churches as they went off for 20+ years of the US's war in the middle east? Its no different here except the countries have changed.

The Orthodox Christian Russia became a godless country under the communist. Under Stalin, the original Russian Orthodox Church was almost entirely liquidated, suffering an immense martyrdom measured in hundreds of thousands. By 1941, only a few Russian Orthodox bishops remained; the Church was nearly extinct in terms of its hierarchy.
I'm with you there. Not only Jesus, but even proffits in other religions like Jewish faith, True Moslem teachings etc, don't condone war. Buddhistic teachings are also about peace. I am a Christian, but do some research on other religions. Problem is that religion sometimes gets twisted in ways to condone wars etc. Isis is one example, taking a peaceful religion like Koran holy book and misinterpreting it's teachings. Christians have done the same, twisted what's said in the Bible to fit in with what they want the scripts to mean. Like in the long past when Jesus said destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again. The people thought he was refering to a actual Jewish temple, but Jesus was talking about the temple of his soul. That he would come back to life after he was crucified. Not much had changed since then, as many of Jesus teachings are still often misinterpreted. Teachings in the Koran and Torah also misinterpreted a lot as well. Christian soldiers weapons are meant to be the word of God, not swords, guns and so on.
Kirill is bloated by the power allowed to him by Putin, why would Kirill go against his own interests by speaking out against anything Putin supports ? I admire the bravery of any Russian people or religious who speak out against this unnecessary Russian war of aggression on Ukraine.
You are incorrect. Often times, wars are necessary. The crusades are a great example of the Catholic Church defending the west from Islam. Thank goodness for the crusades!!
@@suzannemcmaken4648 Christ wasn’t a pacifist. When he saw people sinning, he took a whip and whipped them out of a temple. Sometimes, violence is necessary. If we are to be like Christ, we have to use violence when it’s called for. Are you doing that?
@@mosesking2923 Christ drove people out of the temple with a whip because they were making the house of God a marketplace selling goods and showing disrespect. It wasn’t a war He was engaging in.

the Ukrainian Church is not as I understand it 'Instanbul based' it is autocephalous like the russian church. The Ecumenical Patriarch recognised it as autocephalous.
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church has been Autocephalous for a long time , it is Recognized even by the Russia Patriarch .But Istanbul heretic Bartholomew started a new church in Ukraine and stuffed it with Clowns and pigs called Orthodox Church of Ukraine and this is why we have War for God was offended. Bartholomew even calls him self ( First Without Equal) a Heretic as low as Judas and Arius !!

What you guys seem to mis is that during the soviet time the church was forbidden, Russia has forbidden religions in Russia on this moment and to be safe they support the government
The Russian church has always supported the government. Tolstoy denounced the Russian church for this reason, that between the government and the oppressed, the church always sides with the government.
Kirill isn't wrong about the problem with the western culture, but he should have stayed at least neutral about this war, because the Russian government is wrong from the Orthodox perspective. This kind of support for the government, instead of being the voice of reason, can only lead to a conflict within the Church, and sooner or later will split Russia into two Patriarchates.
Its easy to be critical about your enemy, much harder to be critical about your own side. Russian Orthodox church has been a puppet of the Russian state for a long time regardless of which regime was in power
Often times, wars are necessary. The crusades are a great example of the Catholic Church defending the west from Islam. Thank goodness for the crusades!!
A former KGB member For the first time in history, a high religious leader is being questioned by the European Union. While the conflict in Ukraine continues, the European Commission proposed last week to sanction 58 personalities involved in this war, including the Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill. Is he an oligarch like the others? For Bernard Lecomte, a journalist specialising in the Vatican and Eastern Europe, "the religious leader Patriarch Kirill is very close to Vladimir Putin. It’s pretty clear that he took advantage of that as well. He did business. This man is not only a religious leader, he is a KGB elder, he is a former civil servant and today he is also in charge of his affairs. He has a cottage in Switzerland and he has all the characteristics of anyone who takes advantage of the scheme. Let us not compare it with the other oligarchs but let us take it for what it is". The propaganda of Patriarch Kirill According to the European Union Etienne, Kirill is "one of the main supporters of Russian military aggression against Ukraine". Since 2009, Kirill has been the political-religious cover of the Kremlin. He does not hesitate to bless weapons and missiles, he supports the repression of the opposition and independent media. Like Vladimir Putin, he sees Ukraine and Belarus as "brother" countries that should have remained Russian... Today Kirill multiplies statements of support for the Russian offensive in Ukraine. For him the detractors of Russian ambitions are "forces of evil". "Patriarch Kirill goes so far as to bless the Russian invasion troops in Ukraine. It seems logical to ban it on the territory of the European Union and to designate it as one of the co-responsible for this dramatic war that has already caused tens of thousands of deaths. He is not only someone who provides religious covers to President Putin’s imperial ideology. He goes so far as to say untruths. On May 3, during a sermon at the Kremlin, he explained that Russia never attacked anyone. This is propaganda," explains Antoine Arjakovsky, historian and director emeritus of the Institute of Ecumenical Studies in Lviv. The divided Orthodox Church A position that nevertheless divides within the Russian Orthodox Church. This is one of the fundamental stakes of the conflict in Ukraine. Orthodox faithful to the Moscow Patriarchate represented 40% of Orthodox in Ukraine.
I think the Pope should travel to Kiev and meet with the head of the Ukraine Church and demonstrate that they are unified against this type of non christian aggression. i think this will help to heal divisions between the Catholic and non-Russian Orthodox churches. It's very powerful when you are on the right side of history
It will not, especially now, heal the thousand year schism between Orthodox Christianity and Catholicism. And there are those who oppose it. The Pope is going to get involved in Russian politics? And he is going to help the Patriarch deal with Putin?
@@patriciah3235 No the Pope is going to support the head of the Ukraine Church and not the Russian Patriarch or Putin. The Ukraine church broke away from the Russian Church and Patriarch before the war.

Jesus is lord… 🧐.🇮🇪🇬🇧
This slander is disgusting and unsurprising how it comes from the rotten tongues of the West, may the West burn in God’s wrath and the faithful be saved
I don’t think any religion should support any war. People were made in God’s image, we are supposed to be better than mass killing each other. Yes, I understand people are sinful but religions should not be sinful. I don’t know how people can stand themselves, we are such a disappointment.
No, it doesn't. Such things do not divide the Church, which is one in steadfast love for Jesus Christ. This "divides" only those who place other things above Christ & His Church.
This is the apostle Paul. If we or an angel from heaven preach to you any other gospel let him be accursed. Now the head hog at the trough in the Russian orthodox church is telling these young men that to die in war in Ukraine will cleanse them of their sins. That is the doctrine of demons,spitting on the cross, and trampling underfoot the blood of Jesus which is the only forgiveness and cleansing of sin.
There are Christian denominations including the RCC that condemned that war just like it condemns this one. Seems like in this case all Eastern Orthodox in Russia which is the only denomination there supports this war.. There is a difference just fyi
Mixing politics and religion hurts both. And leaves people ignorant. I'm still surprised how many Americans mistakenly believe that U.S. Presidents and members of Congress must take an oath on a Bible. It's like they think there is something in the Constitution about Christianity.
They can take their oath on any book that they value. It has typically been a Bible, but could be something else, or nothing. The oath is the important part
Well America was founded upon Christian principles. For a time America prosper because laws were closer to the perfect ones of God. But really no nation can measure up to Gods perfect laws. His kingdom will soon replaced all of the worlds kingdoms
@@jdos5643 America's founding principles were: natural/ inalienable rights, limited government, popular sovereignty, federalism, republicanism, checks and balances and separation of powers. I just googled "Christian principles" and found about ten. None overlapped with those I listed earlier in this comment.
@@kindnessfirst9670 the United States prospered at one point because of upholding God above the nation. Righteousness exalted a nation but sin is a reproach to ppl. Proverbs 14:34. But as far as a nation goes, All nations come and go but Only Gods government will crush these earthly ones and last forever.
Whether or not the Bishop of the church support one thing or not doesn’t affect the teachings of the Church which focuses on the salvation of souls and proclaiming a Christ crucified and resurrected. Everyone is entitled to hold their own opinion regarding. That being said, I will remain faithfully Orthodox. Christ is risen!
He does not contradict his office of priest by advocating retaliation. He serves as a kind of advisor, but one which boosts morale in a very intimate, spiritual manner. This is the kind of counsellor that facilitates martyrdom, especially useful in a nuclear age. And so with a faith in God, the God mentioned on your money, they carry on.

Can't each country run its own (local) Orthodox church if it so wishes? The Ukrainian Orthodox has long been colonised. It's about time it runs its own independent Orthodoxy. God sees the heart.
Hope they realise that everyone in the west doesn't go along with the debauchery of the west. There are Christians and Jews who support God's statutes too. Putin has killed many people who have challenged him politically. I hope the Orthodox Church walks circumspectly around these acts. May they be blessed in God's wisdom, knowledge and may they attain eternal life.

There is absolutely nothing that the patriarch spews that is Christian. Christ would not want war.

The Church doesn’t, the people does. The people does not represent the entire church. It’s a matter of own opinion.
You all will know!
When The Russia Fall, the christian around the world will persecute..
Hear this, if you read the Revelation in bible says The Soldier of the Saints. Its talk about Russian army, the soldier of saints.
Why it say the soldier, soldier talks about military.
the Ukrainian Church is not as I understand it 'Instanbul based' it is autocephalous like the russian church. The Ecumenical Patriarch recognised it as autocephalous.
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church has been Autocephalous for a long time , it is Recognized even by the Russia Patriarch .But Istanbul heretic Bartholomew started a new church in Ukraine and stuffed it with Clowns and pigs called Orthodox Church of Ukraine and this is why we have War for God was offended. Bartholomew even calls him self ( First Without Equal) a Heretic as low as Judas and Arius !!
@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese what do you mean by 'succession'? What is the legitimate path to autocephaly?
The Church is not divided
He wants to keep his paycheck, free lodging, food and all the other perks.
Business is competitive.
This war is a secret war between different religions not political war.
Very informative. Thank you for this report!

Superstitious nonsense
There Is a schism, within the schism.
Any organized religion who is professing to be Christian and a true follower in action and deeds of what that is supposed to stand for, surely should NOT be pro war in any way, shape, or form. That's just totally jacked up for sure !!!
what a shame for the whole Christianity, they should remove him
What you guys seem to mis is that during the soviet time the church was forbidden, Russia has forbidden religions in Russia on this moment and to be safe they support the government
The Russian church has always supported the government. Tolstoy denounced the Russian church for this reason, that between the government and the oppressed, the church always sides with the government.
Kirill isn't wrong about the problem with the western culture, but he should have stayed at least neutral about this war, because the Russian government is wrong from the Orthodox perspective. This kind of support for the government, instead of being the voice of reason, can only lead to a conflict within the Church, and sooner or later will split Russia into two Patriarchates.
Its easy to be critical about your enemy, much harder to be critical about your own side. Russian Orthodox church has been a puppet of the Russian state for a long time regardless of which regime was in power
Religion as a justification for war, name a more iconic duo.
Religion is illegal in North Korea, and they are a notoriously peaceful country...
Batman and oh never mind . . .
Often times, wars are necessary. The crusades are a great example of the Catholic Church defending the west from Islam. Thank goodness for the crusades!!
This is sick, they are using the Christian faith,I hope God punish all of them.
Complaining of gay pride parades and excess consumption from a guy wearing more gold than Liberace...
He does come off as rather camp now that you mention it.
Lot of bling there
WAR is the Child of GREED and PRIDE...
Blessed are the peace makers! "The leadership of the Russian church is not, they have failed God and embrased a missguided tyrant.
The patriarch's only interest is to serve Putin, as how Putin is a caesaropapist, thar's how Kirill is subordinate to Putin
sounds like russia’s version of radical islam
That's why it's necessary to separate church and state.😑
Once again, the leaders of religion subvert their faith.

A former KGB member
For the first time in history, a high religious leader is being questioned by the European Union. While the conflict in Ukraine continues, the European Commission proposed last week to sanction 58 personalities involved in this war, including the Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill. Is he an oligarch like the others? For Bernard Lecomte, a journalist specialising in the Vatican and Eastern Europe, "the religious leader Patriarch Kirill is very close to Vladimir Putin. It’s pretty clear that he took advantage of that as well. He did business. This man is not only a religious leader, he is a KGB elder, he is a former civil servant and today he is also in charge of his affairs. He has a cottage in Switzerland and he has all the characteristics of anyone who takes advantage of the scheme. Let us not compare it with the other oligarchs but let us take it for what it is".
The propaganda of Patriarch Kirill
According to the European Union Etienne, Kirill is "one of the main supporters of Russian military aggression against Ukraine". Since 2009, Kirill has been the political-religious cover of the Kremlin. He does not hesitate to bless weapons and missiles, he supports the repression of the opposition and independent media. Like Vladimir Putin, he sees Ukraine and Belarus as "brother" countries that should have remained Russian... Today Kirill multiplies statements of support for the Russian offensive in Ukraine. For him the detractors of Russian ambitions are "forces of evil".
"Patriarch Kirill goes so far as to bless the Russian invasion troops in Ukraine. It seems logical to ban it on the territory of the European Union and to designate it as one of the co-responsible for this dramatic war that has already caused tens of thousands of deaths. He is not only someone who provides religious covers to President Putin’s imperial ideology. He goes so far as to say untruths. On May 3, during a sermon at the Kremlin, he explained that Russia never attacked anyone. This is propaganda," explains Antoine Arjakovsky, historian and director emeritus of the Institute of Ecumenical Studies in Lviv.
The divided Orthodox Church
A position that nevertheless divides within the Russian Orthodox Church. This is one of the fundamental stakes of the conflict in Ukraine. Orthodox faithful to the Moscow Patriarchate represented 40% of Orthodox in Ukraine.
Жаль, что у патриарха Кирилла нет христианского мужества осудить войну в Украине. Христу должно быть очень грустно видеть это...
Господи помилуй!
Jesus hate relgion be cause you believe in Lord is not relgion
If he is realy a Christian he should pray n support peace only not war frm india
I think the Pope should travel to Kiev and meet with the head of the Ukraine Church and demonstrate that they are unified against this type of non christian aggression. i think this will help to heal divisions between the Catholic and non-Russian Orthodox churches. It's very powerful when you are on the right side of history
Unfortunately he won't. Hes not that kind of man.
It will not, especially now, heal the thousand year schism between Orthodox Christianity and Catholicism. And there are those who oppose it. The Pope is going to get involved in Russian politics? And he is going to help the Patriarch deal with Putin?
@@patriciah3235 No the Pope is going to support the head of the Ukraine Church and not the Russian Patriarch or Putin. The Ukraine church broke away from the Russian Church and Patriarch before the war.

GOD IS NOT A HYPOCRITE.
I don’t think any religion should support any war. People were made in God’s image, we are supposed to be better than mass killing each other. Yes, I understand people are sinful but religions should not be sinful. I don’t know how people can stand themselves, we are such a disappointment.
Blessed are the peacemakers for there's is the Kingdom of Heaven.... Find a peaceful way to separate from legitimate issues
No, it doesn't. Such things do not divide the Church, which is one in steadfast love for Jesus Christ. This "divides" only those who place other things above Christ & His Church.
The church IS THE PEOPLE. Otherwise it's just a building.
@@BigBirdy100 There’s different context of church used. It’s not just solely people.
This is the apostle Paul. If we or an angel from heaven preach to you any other gospel let him be accursed. Now the head hog at the trough in the Russian orthodox church is telling these young men that to die in war in Ukraine will cleanse them of their sins. That is the doctrine of demons,spitting on the cross, and trampling underfoot the blood of Jesus which is the only forgiveness and cleansing of sin.
Reminds me of Bush invading Iraq and support from Christian right
@Anna Barr wow, beautiful _and_ wise! Have a great week.
There are Christian denominations including the RCC that condemned that war just like it condemns this one.
Seems like in this case all Eastern Orthodox in Russia which is the only denomination there supports this war..
There is a difference just fyi
You choose to serve God because of love, not bombs.
Mixing politics and religion hurts both. And leaves people ignorant. I'm still surprised how many Americans mistakenly believe that U.S. Presidents and members of Congress must take an oath on a Bible. It's like they think there is something in the Constitution about Christianity.
They can take their oath on any book that they value. It has typically been a Bible, but could be something else, or nothing. The oath is the important part
@@silverforest4682 yes in India we have the Gita for oath taking.
Well America was founded upon Christian principles. For a time America prosper because laws were closer to the perfect ones of God. But really no nation can measure up to Gods perfect laws. His kingdom will soon replaced all of the worlds kingdoms
@@jdos5643 America's founding principles were: natural/ inalienable rights, limited government, popular sovereignty, federalism, republicanism, checks and balances and separation of powers. I just googled "Christian principles" and found about ten. None overlapped with those I listed earlier in this comment.
@@kindnessfirst9670 the United States prospered at one point because of upholding God above the nation. Righteousness exalted a nation but sin is a reproach to ppl. Proverbs 14:34. But as far as a nation goes, All nations come and go but Only Gods government will crush these earthly ones and last forever.

Whether or not the Bishop of the church support one thing or not doesn’t affect the teachings of the Church which focuses on the salvation of souls and proclaiming a Christ crucified and resurrected.

Good idea splitting from Moscow
He does not contradict his office of priest by advocating retaliation. He serves as a kind of advisor, but one which boosts morale in a very intimate, spiritual manner. This is the kind of counsellor that facilitates martyrdom, especially useful in a nuclear age. And so with a faith in God, the God mentioned on your money, they carry on.

Russia didn't start this conflict, so what's the issue?
More proganda to separate Orthodox from Russia. That's antichrist..
Can't each country run its own (local) Orthodox church if it so wishes? The Ukrainian Orthodox has long been colonised. It's about time it runs its own independent Orthodoxy. God sees the heart.
Putin: serve me and I will give you all the alter boys in Moscow.
Bishop: There must be war, GOD WILLS IT!
Des vult
Hope they realise that everyone in the west doesn't go along with the debauchery of the west. There are Christians and Jews who support God's statutes too.
Putin has killed many people who have challenged him politically. I hope the Orthodox Church walks circumspectly around these acts.
May they be blessed in God's wisdom, knowledge and may they attain eternal life.
Isn’t that like against all the church’s values?
Yes, that is even blasphemy.
