Yesterday I found this in my mailbox and I like to share it with you, because it gives a brief overview about the troubles which occurred at the meeting in Ravenna:

And in my opinion the EP has to be in Constantinople, not just for historic reasons but also because it is the cornerstone of Orthodoxy. And this has to be in it's place!

Christos voskrese! Nicolaj

Nicolaj,

Thank you for the link. I find these developments, although there is nothing new in them if we look back at Florence in XV c and and Lyons in XIII c, very troubling and ultimately undermining the witness of Orthodoxy to the world. Lord have mercy on us.

Recently there has been a decision of the Church or Romania to establish three diocese on the canonical territory of Moscow (in Moldova and extending into Ukraine), which of course drew sharp critisim from the Patriarch and the Synod but also from Metropolitans and Synods of Moldova, Ukraine and Poland.

It is interesting that Romanian mass media (according to pravislavie.ru) made a connection between this unfriendly act towards the Russian Church and Bucharest's sucking up to Vatican. I do not know any more about this, but if somebody has additional info, it would be much appreciated.

In the Lord,
Yura
