In my opinion, the Greeks specifically just now held their bishops’ council, and also raised the issue of following the canons there. Apparently, in this way, the Patriarchate of Constantinople wants to get ahead of the Russian Orthodox Church, which through the mouth of its bishops’ council in a few months can raise the question of the conformity of the actions of the Phanar with the canons of the Orthodox Church. Or even raise the question of the Ecumenical Patriarchate falling into the heresy of papism.

Here the Phanariots are scurrying about. They are trying to be the first to bring charges against their opponents, the first to act out the topic of violation of the canons.

On the one hand, it is not very good that the ROC was not the first to raise this issue.

On the other hand, it is clear what exactly the Greeks are afraid of. Therefore, it is very important that the Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church raise the relevant questions, as one bishop put it, in all its acuteness and depth. And he called heresy heresy. Officially.

It is gratifying that such a possibility looks quite real. This is evidenced by the extremely harsh statements of the hierarchs of the ROC and the UOC about the malicious actions of the Phanar, which have been voiced over the past months.

Apparently, Phanar understands this too. Therefore, it has become more active on all fronts. In particular, in the field of suppression of dissent in churches, which have recognized the so-called. OCU. On the surface, there is a desire to ensure the like-mindedness of these churches on the eve of the official designation of the Phanar as a hotbed of schism and heresy. In this case, the people of Constantinople will really need allies in order to jointly, in a united front, oppose those who denounce the heretical position of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, striving to become its Vatican for the entire Orthodox world.
