Válka mezi ruskopravoslavnými a řeckopravoslavnými

Základní rozdíl mezi ruskopravoslavnými a řeckopravoslavnými jsem vymezil již dříve. Nyní se podívejme, jak se projevuje v praxi.

Ačkoliv Vodník popírá, že nějací ruskopravoslavní a řeckopravoslavní vůbec existují, je to jen příznak jeho ignorance. Hlava ruskopravoslavných poslala hlavě řeckopravoslavných neuvěřitelně sprostý dopis. V něm ruskopravoslavné a řeckopravoslavné jasně vyčleňuje: „The Greek Orthodox [tj. doslova „řeckopravoslavní“] were among them, receiving antimensia for their parishes from the Russian bishops. This situation was recognised by all the local Churches, who released clergy for the American parishes into the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church [tj. doslova „ruskopravoslavná církev“].“

Dopis je pozruhodný rovněž tím, že pravdivě popisuje „blahodárnost“ caesaropapismu: „Thus the provinces mentioned by Your Holiness -- Illyria, Southern Italy and Sicily -- did not belong 'always' to the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, but were taken by force from the Roman Church and given to the Church of Constantinople by the iconoclast Emperor Leo the Isaurian, without reference to Canon 28. One of the most important reasons for this action on the part of Leo the Isaurian was that the Church of Rome was opposed to the iconoclastic policies of the Byzantine Emperor, whose political power extended to those territories at that time.“

Dopis jde dokonce tak daleko, že otevřeně popisuje typicky pravoslavný bordel a porušování božského řádu: 'In spite of the Holy Canons, the Orthodox, in particular those who live in Western countries, are divided into ethnic groups. Their Churches have at their head bishops chosen on ethnic grounds. Often they are not the only bishops of their cities, and sometimes they are not on good terms with one another and fight among themselves', something that is 'a source of shame for all Orthodoxy and the cause of unfavourable reactions that have negative results for the Orthodox Church'.

Rovněž tak jiné pravoslavné weby ruskopravoslavé a řeckopravoslavné jasně vymezují: „There is, however, a good deal more historical evidence to suggest that Constantinople has a sort of missionary authority [zdůrazněno mnou, Vodník vždy její existenci popíral] in the areas outside those territories which have been explicitly defined by pan-Orthodox synods to constitute autocephalous churches. This claim is disputed particularly by the Church of Russia and its daughter and dependency churches [zdůrazněno mnou], sometimes as an expression of the idea that Moscow is the Third Rome.“
