Kazakhstan supported the severance of relations with Bartholomew
The Metropolitan District of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) in Kazakhstan shares the belief in the correctness of the ROC’s decision regarding the severance of relations with the Patriarchate of Constantinople, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This is stated in a message on the district's website.
“We in the metropolitan district are guided by absolutely all legal acts adopted by His Holiness the Patriarch and the Holy Synod, by all orders, and by the charter of the Russian Church. Naturally, we are guided in our life by the decisions that were made yesterday in Minsk at the meeting of the Holy Synod of our church, and we fully share the conviction that these decisions are correct. Actually, our Holy Synod could not do otherwise - how to break the Eucharistic communion with the Patriarchate of Constantinople,” said Bishop Gennady of Kaskelen, manager of the affairs of the metropolitan district of the Russian Orthodox Church in Kazakhstan.
Let us recall, as PolitNavigator reported, the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church declared it impossible to further Eucharistic communion with Constantinople. After which the canonical Ukrainian and Belarusian Orthodox Churches broke off relations with Constantinople.
According to the Russian Orthodox Church, “Constantinople ceased to be the center of coordination in Orthodoxy” and self-liquidated as the Orthodox Church, becoming a “sect” and accepting Ukrainian schismatics into communion.
