  3. The unexpected relationship between U.S. #evangelicals and #RussianOrthodox

    Under #Trump and #Putin a strange alliance gets stranger.

    by John P. Burgess, August 15, 2018

    Except: "The alliance between the Russian Orthodox Church and the #BillyGraham Evangelistic Association has been especially significant. In 2015, #Metro­politanHilarion invited Franklin Gra­ham to Moscow, where he had private audiences with #PatriarchKirill and Putin. Graham later thanked the patriarch for the Russian Orthodox Church’s 'strong voice in the defense of moral values' and lauded Putin for defending biblical values 'from the attacks of secularism.' Graham further asserted that many Americans wished that someone like Putin could be their president, and he praised Russia for passing #antigay propaganda laws.

    "The visit bore more than rhetorical fruit. Graham announced that Samari­tan’s Purse, a ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, would cooperate with the Russian Orthodox Church in providing material assistance to people fleeing violence and war in eastern Ukraine, where Russia has supported an insurgency against the U.S.-supported Ukrainian government."

  9. "The Russian Orthodox church, under the malign leadership of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, has become a prop to Vladimir Putin’s ambitions to erase Ukraine from the map. European politicians such as Viktor Orbán and Giorgia Meloni invoke Christian authority for an aggressive identitarian agenda that has threatened women’s rights and licensed hostility against Muslim migrants and LGBT+ communities."

  10. “We don't want these discussions that Ukrainians have occupied a Russian church," said one Ukrainian nun. “But we understand that as soon as #Russia takes over the property, we, Ukrainians, will be kicked out of here.”

  12. "Patriarch Kirill and the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) have used religious language to promote the invasion of Ukraine, repeatedly calling for the defense of the Fatherland. Kirill came under fire for suggesting that death on the battlefield is a sacrifice that forgives a soldier’s sins."

  14. "The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has been a vehicle for promoting hate of Ukrainians. Their leader, Patriarch Kirill, fanned the flames of hatred less than two weeks after the invasion when he justified the war on the grounds of a metaphysical battle between good and evil."

  19. One of the many reasons that I am atheist is that religion is often used as an arm of government in war. In Ukraine war, the Russian Orthodox Church is both a propaganda and mercenary arm of the government.
