Latest article at EP pushes union with Rome

In this article, the author, Met. Elpidophoros Lambriniadis of Bursa, chastises the MP for failing to have dialogue with Roman Catholics. Here is an excerpt:

  • In a recent synodal decision,[1] the Church of Russia seems once again[2] to choose its isolation both from theological dialogue with the Catholic Church and from the communion of the Orthodox Churches. Two points are worth noting from the outset, which are indicative of the intent of the Church of Russia’s Synod:

    First, its desire to thwart the text of Ravenna,[3] claiming seemingly theological reasons to justify the absence of its delegation from the specific plenary meeting of the bilateral commission (an absence dictated, as everyone knows, by other reasons[4]); and

Lord have mercy.

Here is the Russian document that is under attack by Met. Lambriniadis of Bursa:

  • The Orthodox Church rejected the doctrine of the Roman Church on papal primacy and the divine origin of the power of the first bishop in the Universal Church. Orthodox theologians have always insisted that the Church of Rome is one of the autocephalous Local Churches with no right to extend her jurisdiction to the territory of other Local Churches. They also believed that primacy in honour accorded to the bishops of Rome is instituted not by God but men.[10]

For them there is no problem with union, just a question of who's in charge. Arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Oh, they all want to be in charge of a one-world religion.

Come Lord Jesus.
