A Thought on Hagia Sophia

Hagia Sophia will not be restored until the patriarch of Constatinople repents. while it may be necessaru for a council to recognize his renunciation of the status given to Constantinople, nothing prevents him from renouncing it and acting accordingly.

Autocephaly for national churches is an inadequate universal solution which respect to nation-states, as it will tend to reinforce and serve secular nationalism. A locus of churches in a city can be represented in council, but the Church should be moored primarily in a local political reality.

A Necessary Article?

What did the Greeks do to help Armenia? If Armenians are complaining about the Catholicos, maybe they should do something about their civilian leadership instead. Or are they incapable of republican self-rule? At any rate, how is this relevant to a website that is ostensibly about Orthodox Christianity?

The announcement of the Armenian Apostolic Church raised numerous questions, in which the primate of the Church thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin#orthodox_times

Byzantine Triumphalism

How much more do they have to lose before they learn the lesson? Lord have mercy. All jurisdictions will have to re-evaluate their notions of primacy and ecclesial authority before there can be full reconciliation. Matthew 20:25.
