Religion during the Russian war and Orthodox Church dilemma in Ukraine. Ukraine in Flames #140

00.00 - Intro
02:04 - Russian church in Ukraine
08:48 - How religious institutions respond to the challenge of war
13:18 - Outro

July 28th marks one of the most important religious holidays in Ukraine - Christening of the Kyivan Rus. As many other institutions, Ukrainian church is faced with many challenges in the midst of war. These challenges are further complicated by a sophisticated system of religious institutions in the country, where even Orthodox Christianity is embodied in different churches. Some of them, like the relatively newly established Orthodox Church of Ukraine, independent from Russian influence, have been taking active part in defending the country at their own home front - first and foremost, assisting in evacuation and help for children. There are, however, darker aspects to the religious issue amidst the war - Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate), a subsidiary of the Russian Orthodox Church, finds itself torn between different loyalties. While many bishops and parishioners leave Moscow Patriarchate in disagreement with its long dependence on the aggressor state, some have decided to collaborate with the enemy. Ukraine In Flames #140 tries to tackle the challenging issue of religious institutions and their roles during Russian war against Ukraine.

Speakers:

Mark, Bishop of Kropyvnytskyi and Holovanivsk, Orthodox Church of Ukraine
George Kovalenko, orthodox priest, rector of Open Orthodox University of the Saint Sophia the Wisdom

UKRAINE IN FLAMES project is created by the Ukraine Crisis Media Center and NGO "Euroatlantic Course". We are aiming at searching a loud support for Ukraine in the war started by Russia on the 24th of February 2022.

On July 25 was a posting for the village funeral of Oleksandr Pohorilchuk. Channel was Roman Bachinsky (great camera work). Could have been more than five thousand people there. To me this was magnificent in its proclamation of the magnificence of Oleksandr. He was not merely an ordinary prince or a king among the people who knew him. Watch this and you will cry in commemoration of Oleksandr and these fine village people. You will breathe with an embrace toward the future time of when and where you will participate Under the Heavens in the dismantling of a tragic paradigm of crass human evils, evils which have become the automatic nature in unrepentant expression by the sycophantic ruzzorkians who are of a belief system hopelessly trapped under authoritarian and totalitarian technologies of control and corruption of the human Spirit. There are millions of people world-wide who would feel honored to participate after the fact as they watch the day's solemn, but truly magnificent funeral for Oleksandr Pohorilchuk. Under the Heavens, this village is unforgettably magnificent in its every blade of grass and sun-faded paints. More so in all its people who attended.

Ключовий камінь усіх демократій світу зараз під загрозою.
Культура орків і її горілчана кислота атакують
від наріжного каменю до наріжного каменю.
Коли Україна під загрозою, то й ми всі.
Україна є ключовим каменем. 


Ми з Україною.

The keystone to all the world's democracies is now imperiled.


The Orc Culture and its vodka acid is attacking from cornerstone to cornerstone.


When Ukraine is imperiled, we are all imperiled.


Ukraine is the keystone.

 We stand with Ukraine.

I think we - that is to say: we who are altogether healthy minded and sentient - would probably all fight for quite the same things as did Oleksandr.

In my effort here, I can’t trust the computer translator to do the translation into Ukrainian language, nor the language of the invaders. It is my personal campaign to try to educate (“bring up to speed”) even the least informed "observers" anywhere, any side… perhaps some can be rehabilitated, given the proper environment. Books can help. Fair-minded companionship (not paradigms under psychopaths) can help. Suitable bibliography is included within this fragment of total lectures I wage against the ignorance or pure evil of ruzzorkians:

Across the past two centuries, russians have murdered probably 10 MILLION Ukrainians. Before the Great Wall of China was built, perhaps 10 Million of the eastern/southern people were murdered, pillaged, kidnapped, and raped by the golden horde. At some point, the survivors should form battalions to kick the russians out when they begin to invade and take over (Crimea and Donbas 2014, for example). The only problem is that a well-financed autocrat can invert all sequences, using lies and propaganda tactics to make the innocent victims all the more a target for destruction in the minds of the sycophant baby-ork psychopaths. Build an air-tight totalitarian state and the russian baby orkopaths go willingly to war to die, never voicing openly like a New National hero "It is all for increasing the holdings of the autocrat's personal empire, and the kremlin elites' holdings… while we are tools and fodder”…

Garry Kasparov (world chess champion) wrote "Winter Is Coming" in 2015 to warn the world about putin and general evil with russian elites, and he predicted this present conflict. This was the best insider expose, truly mind-blowing level of insight and grasp of politics. Also "Red Famine" by Anne Applebaum tells bleak history of suffering for poor Ukraine at the hands of russians for over one hundred years (very bleak beyond any imagination). The evil alliance of hitler and stalin is thoroughly explained in “Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin” by Timothy Snyder. These books make me angry and disgusted with russians, but emphasize to me that human nature is an area of neglected importance - we must explain what goes sick (even simply callous and cowardly) with people's minds.

When an aging but adolescent sycophant attempts to emulate the embodied powers of childhood defeat, there is then the risk of practicing oneself into the embodied psychopath. This is an isomorph under the law of force-reflection in physics, but at the higher-dimensional level of consciousness. There is sometimes a route of sexual excitement established in childhood which again becomes pursued and fulfilled in the power-accumulating "adult" who is then unable to put moral-aestheticism in role of mastery over their own life conduct. The agent (exemplar) who caused childhood defeat (actual emotional betrayals and worse), if in any way a sexual object prior to the betrayals, has contributed to the formation of psychopathic routines of survival, which are always prone to returning to see if the original sexual gratification has any prospect in pursuit of orgasm closure of the aggravation cycle. The course of survival becomes more mechanistic than actually conscious, for various reasons. The mind remains primitive (retarded) despite ongoing "development."

Sycophants of all types exist, and may be trapped in life to live out unpleasant scenarios of exploitation under the mind-controller types. The sycophant may not be very aggressive as a defense or as a pursuit of sexual gratifications. Those that emerge to being aggressive as a remedial reaction can be very horrific machines, overlaying moral-aestheticism with trophy-hunting against victims, in compensation for a wrecked reality Under the Heavens. It traces back to family and societal betrayals, which can be based in series of miss-perceptions on all parts. Blame is usually with the parental role models. The ruzzorkian fascist system is putting the kremlin elites first over all other lives and pretty much limiting fair pursuit of dreams among the masses, and constantly threatening ACCELERATED DEMISE by one form or another. This demise and actual betrayal of constitutional protections are key tools within the propaganda technology, and places omnipotent power of destruction against the minds of the growing children. The long, cold winters are ALSO a serious worry (requires various assets – including all the grand kremlin wisdom ? - in order to survive winter?) among the many forms of destruction the children and adolescents may face if not submitting to the “exemplars”.

The societal problems around the globe at present are largely due to the defective morality and conducts of mentally backward people who are then poorly self-policing about their own impulsions or/and compulsions for holding monopoly over resources and then callously exploiting these resources for some form of immediate gratification and supremacy signalling.

As an old man now, I am trying to be the most effective through powers of insight and disclosure which transcend the major folly now plaguing "communication and education" as we so often encounter it. What you see here is the product of someone who actually disdains to wield weak insight and errant communication approach when so much is at stake. The key to saving ruzzia is to kill off its kremlin gargoyles which endlessly brain-claw and roost within the minds of the growing, innocent children. The process, the paradigm, the phenomena - must be discerned and exposed and STOPPED. If we succeed in this, how many do we help save? Is it millions? Would they ever learn the story of Oleksandr Pohorilchuk who died to help many causes and people he believed in?

The worth of these mainstream media is not in krem-prop and bot-quip - we must all transcend that destructive level. If you are stuck at that level, openly lament the sad truth Under the Heavens - you have been damaged by those who should have made you whole for continuing the work Here. You must largely forgive them, as they obviously were also damaged. You can reclaim and redeem their lost innocence and grandeur through substitution of yourself for healing their broken role Under the Heavens.

Thank you for your Video, it was very well done. The Orthodox Church, all of them, are clearly not serving God or his son Jesus. but rather, serving man ultimately Satan. why? because George Kovalenko say that all the Churches and priests for fill their service in the Ukrainian army and kirill supports putins war. what does the bible teach? 1JOHN 4:20 " If anyone says, “I love God, ” and yet is hating his brother, he is a liar. For the one who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen." What does Jehovah himself think of war? Psalm 11:5 "Jehovah examines the righteous one as well as the wicked one; He hates anyone who loves violence.". and Proverbs 6:17. Russia and Ukraine, both Orthodox, both blessing their soldiers to kill each other. but what did Jesus say? " By this all will know that you are my disciples if you have love among yourselves." john 13:35. so they are clearly not Jesus disciples. the whole world is in the power of Satan right now, (1 john 5:19) and the reason there are so many wars is because Satan knows he only has little time left before (Revelation 12:12). Matthew 24: 6 and 7 says there will be wars and other bad things in the last days. what The Orthodox Church should be doing, is telling people about God's coming kingdom and what they need to do to be reconciled to god (Mathew 24:14 and 2 Corinthians 5:18) True Christians are to have no part of the world, it's wars and politics, they are politically neutral. john 17:16 " They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.", Jesus never got involved with politics and so neither should his disciples.
