- Born Vladimir Mikhailovich Gundyayev, Kirill has been the sixteenth patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church since he was enthroned in 2009. He has attracted international scrutiny with open declarations of support for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of neighbouring Ukraine in February 2022.

funny how "turn the other cheek" can turn into supporting an aggressor in a war
He never supported the Ukronazis.
Question: If Putin was a KGB Colonel and Kirill a KGB Major - if they meet - who confess one's sins to who?
Kamerade Stalin, in HELL, of course!
To HIMSELF 😂😂
exactly...the ideal Patriach of the Orthodox Church having been a KGB agent...doesn't it say all ???
TRULY!
It say everything about these one who accept it as true :) fr24... :D
It looks like he's going to pull a weapon out of that sceptre.
Well the Cross is the best weapon against the devil.
Its not a sacrifice if you're not willing to fight.
Old style warrior pope not religious but political. This needs to change
Okay bud
He dresses for Halloween everyday. Asks for tricks or treats from Putin. License to control cigarette monopoly helped finance his wardrobe.
Do you have to feature this character???
Finally, it’s about time they expose this false prophet.
Church and politics should never interfere
Interesting
His concern is the preservation of the Orthodox church which has had its issues lately with the breakaway of the Ukrainian Orthodox church. But I can't reconcile how they justify invading another primarily Orthodox country. The people being killed have relatives in Russia.
He has no concern other than enriching himself. He is an evil man that uses religion as a club to beat his own people into submission. 👹
FAHRT!
Gundyaev's concern is about himself and his power/influence. To think otherwise about him is naive.
Look at his hands, baby soft,never worked a day in his life. This man knows nothing about life.
He survived the dark age of Soviet godlessness.
He knows more about Life that you ever will.
It is surprising that when criticizing Russia, its critics forget to criticize themselves
💯💯💯
The Russian model of tying people to the land seems to have destroyed individualism over time. The flawed collective practices of the russian historical narrative omits the fact the russians dont do the dying in wars. It is analagous to US adventurism using poc only for troops or first nations as conscripts. That would never fly in most countries but does in russia. Orthodoxy, chauvinism, and ego are the defining aspects of russia hence it is messed up.
You don't know what you're on about.
This is not true.
Poor Francis of all people would say that😂 💀
Orthodox greater than catholic
Except in numbers, wealth, and morality. Go lick your stained glass window lumpy.
Yes but not the moskow branch.

It does seem problematic that a former KGB agent (Now called "Kirill") is the head of religious affairs for millions of people.
One reason St. Thomas More is venerated as such is due to his refusal to bend to the will of King Henry VIII. Earlier, Thomas Becket was murdered by Henry II's knights. The two were close friends - but Thomas was eventually executed for refusing to bow to the will of the King.
(Both Thomas's were killed by both Henry's. I'm sure there's an irony in there somewhere to be found. )
Anyhoo . . .
Politics and Religion - especially among leadership - might best remain separate in order to avoid conflating the will of men with "the will of God."
PS - "There is no such thing as a former KGB man."

No. I believe Patrick J. Buchanan is.

No, that would be Zelesnky.

Few weeks back the archbishop of nato archdiocese went on apostolic visit to the EU vassal state of Ukraine.
Kirill is doing his bit for Russia, so no one really blames him. As for Putin, he's lost in his own madness. I don't think God is Russian.
Nobody blames Kirill?
You obviously havent spoken to any Ukranians
Kirill is committing his own crimes for ruzzia. He will not be remembered well. 👹
Yeah I mean, getting your own patriarch for no reason whatsoever besides nationalism doesnt work very well.@@joecool9739
Blessings for Patriarch Kirill and the Orthodox church in Russia and worldwide, prayers for unity with the catholic church soon.
FAHRT!
The Cult of Gundyaev.
Might as well join with the heretical kiev patriach
@@hachibidelta4237
Oh? Where's the "heresy" with Kyiv? Wanting their own church?
Gundyaev is the problem.
@@ianmackenzie686 it is there is a reason why most Orthodoc churches do not recognise it.
More power to the Russian Orthodox Christians ☦️🙏🏻
And the cult of Gundyaev.
