‘[Schism in the Church] is a cunning operation that’s been going on for about 30 years. The main beneficiary... is American interests,’ says Slobodan Stojićević, an author of books on the Orthodox Church history. He closely follows the schism in Ukraine. According to Slobodan, it strongly resembles the split operation launched many years ago by the Americans in the Balkans. ‘[It’s done] to weaken our nation state, you must weaken and split our national Orthodox church.’ In 2019, the Ukrainian church receives a letter of ecclesiastical independence of Kiev from Moscow from Patriarch Bartholomew. Stojićević argues that the US stands behind this step, as Bartholomew’s Constantinople Patriarchate is fully dependent on American money. Listen to the Serbian historian and discover more on the split in an excerpt from Ukraine: The Road to Schism. - #rt #rtdocumentary #documentary #watch #world #life #people #rtdoc #ukraine #church #kiev #moscow
