- Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, has framed President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine in holy terms - as a defense of conservative values against a morally corrupt West. Now, the war has prompted dissent within the Orthodox Christian faith. Correspondent Seth Doane talks with Orthodox adherents who say the message from their church's Moscow leadership and the Kremlin's war propaganda are one and the same.

What hypocrites! How many Protestant congregations prayed for the military and support troops in their churches as they went off for 20+ years of the US's war in the middle east? Its no different here except the countries have changed.
All but one...Jehovah's Witnesses.
Father Michael, with all due respect, two wrongs do not make a right. You, as a man of G_d, should be even more aware of that fact than parishioners.
Don’t get me started with evangelical Protestants
And what those Protestant churches have done are evil. What about it? You as a minister of Christ must follow a higher calling. The failing of others is never a justification of your own sins
Exactly Father Michael
There is absolutely nothing that the patriarch spews that is Christian. Christ would not want war.
I'm Jesus Christ. I'm at war with Neo-Confederates loyal to the U.K. who've taken over NATO & the U.S. government.
Agree with you so sad that he declare a follower of Jesus.
The patriarch interest is to serve Putin, as how Putin practices caesaropapism, therefore Kirill is subordinate to Putin
Not good.
@@majo9042 then he did not know jesus
It's unfortunate he doesn't just support peace. He has failed as a representative of God. Church members should stop supporting him.
Have you not read The Bible, nothing but destruction from and by a God who created the very devil he is punishing mankind for 😓😕😒
Unfortunately the level of propaganda in both the Russian Orthodox Church and Russian media, many of them feel they are fighting a crusade
Reportedly, the Patriarch of Moscow Orthodox Church was originally trained in the KGB, and also a friend of Putin.?
So 😢 that a representative of a Church supporting War.May God deal with them severely.
The Orthodox Christian Russia became a godless country under the communist.
Under Stalin, the original Russian Orthodox Church was almost entirely liquidated, suffering an immense martyrdom measured in hundreds of thousands. By 1941, only a few Russian Orthodox bishops remained; the Church was nearly extinct in terms of its hierarchy.
I have no doubt the Jesus would agree with me when I say the patriarch kirill blessing of a war is absolutely misguided, tragic and insane....
you don't know what Jesus would agree with without doubt
I'm with you there. Not only Jesus, but even proffits in other religions like Jewish faith, True Moslem teachings etc, don't condone war. Buddhistic teachings are also about peace. I am a Christian, but do some research on other religions. Problem is that religion sometimes gets twisted in ways to condone wars etc. Isis is one example, taking a peaceful religion like Koran holy book and misinterpreting it's teachings. Christians have done the same, twisted what's said in the Bible to fit in with what they want the scripts to mean. Like in the long past when Jesus said destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again. The people thought he was refering to a actual Jewish temple, but Jesus was talking about the temple of his soul. That he would come back to life after he was crucified.
Not much had changed since then, as many of Jesus teachings are still often misinterpreted. Teachings in the Koran and Torah also misinterpreted a lot as well.
Christian soldiers weapons are meant to be the word of God, not swords, guns and so on.
Can you quote the new testament verses that support your claims?
Religion has been, still is, and always will be used to justify war, easiest path to justify the material ambitions.
@@Cbenz280 as if it's a bad thing
War is evil and should never be considered as a means to resolve disputes. It's really simple.
Jeff so true.
You are incorrect. Often times, wars are necessary. The crusades are a great example of the Catholic Church defending the west from Islam. Thank goodness for the crusades!!
@@mosesking2923
Christ never said to engage in wars. He said to spread the gospel. Are you doing that?
@@suzannemcmaken4648 Christ wasn’t a pacifist. When he saw people sinning, he took a whip and whipped them out of a temple. Sometimes, violence is necessary. If we are to be like Christ, we have to use violence when it’s called for. Are you doing that?
@@mosesking2923
Christ drove people out of the temple with a whip because they were making the house of God a marketplace selling goods and showing disrespect.
It wasn’t a war He was engaging in.
I've read that the head of the Russian Orthodox Church is a former KGB agent. What else should be expected from him?
The video reports that he was in the KGB. But no proof.
Propaganda!!!

Kirill is bloated by the power allowed to him by Putin, why would Kirill go against his own interests by speaking out against anything Putin supports ? I admire the bravery of any Russian people or religious who speak out against this unnecessary Russian war of aggression on Ukraine.

While the UMC is like Patriarch Kuril's Russian Orthodox Church. I understand Civil war in U.S split U.S Lutheran church too. Lutherans in USA ELCA , Missouri Synod. I am from India & our Lutheran Church in my mother's home town was started by Pennsylvania Ministerium now ELCA. We been to both to ELCA Church & Missouri Churches. Missouri Church wouldn't offer Communion to me & my wife. So we never go to a Missouri Synod Church. Methodists & Presbyterians offer Communion to every one even the worst among us. So I go there.

@@KB-hd4iz do you think soviet communist sponsored the orthodox church? The Russian Orthodox church has survived through the communist era and will also survive from any regimes to come.
What you guys seem to mis is that during the soviet time the church was forbidden, Russia has forbidden religions in Russia on this moment and to be safe they support the government
The Russian church has always supported the government. Tolstoy denounced the Russian church for this reason, that between the government and the oppressed, the church always sides with the government.
Any organized religion who is professing to be Christian and a true follower in action and deeds of what that is supposed to stand for, surely should NOT be pro war in any way, shape, or form. That's just totally jacked up for sure !!!
At least there's something we all can learn from this news, is that in contrary to our tendencies to cause others to question our morality, we got to do all that is possible with all of our hearts for God, and not for man. A priest isn't the highest authority apart from being God's vice president if you want to word it that way, also who among us that is immune to any wrongdoings as all creations are corrupted by sin.

A former KGB member
For the first time in history, a high religious leader is being questioned by the European Union. While the conflict in Ukraine continues, the European Commission proposed last week to sanction 58 personalities involved in this war, including the Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill. Is he an oligarch like the others? For Bernard Lecomte, a journalist specialising in the Vatican and Eastern Europe, "the religious leader Patriarch Kirill is very close to Vladimir Putin. It’s pretty clear that he took advantage of that as well. He did business. This man is not only a religious leader, he is a KGB elder, he is a former civil servant and today he is also in charge of his affairs. He has a cottage in Switzerland and he has all the characteristics of anyone who takes advantage of the scheme. Let us not compare it with the other oligarchs but let us take it for what it is".
The propaganda of Patriarch Kirill
According to the European Union Etienne, Kirill is "one of the main supporters of Russian military aggression against Ukraine". Since 2009, Kirill has been the political-religious cover of the Kremlin. He does not hesitate to bless weapons and missiles, he supports the repression of the opposition and independent media. Like Vladimir Putin, he sees Ukraine and Belarus as "brother" countries that should have remained Russian... Today Kirill multiplies statements of support for the Russian offensive in Ukraine. For him the detractors of Russian ambitions are "forces of evil".
"Patriarch Kirill goes so far as to bless the Russian invasion troops in Ukraine. It seems logical to ban it on the territory of the European Union and to designate it as one of the co-responsible for this dramatic war that has already caused tens of thousands of deaths. He is not only someone who provides religious covers to President Putin’s imperial ideology. He goes so far as to say untruths. On May 3, during a sermon at the Kremlin, he explained that Russia never attacked anyone. This is propaganda," explains Antoine Arjakovsky, historian and director emeritus of the Institute of Ecumenical Studies in Lviv.
The divided Orthodox Church
A position that nevertheless divides within the Russian Orthodox Church. This is one of the fundamental stakes of the conflict in Ukraine. Orthodox faithful to the Moscow Patriarchate represented 40% of Orthodox in Ukraine.
No, it doesn't. Such things do not divide the Church, which is one in steadfast love for Jesus Christ. This "divides" only those who place other things above Christ & His Church.
The church IS THE PEOPLE. Otherwise it's just a building.
@@BigBirdy100 There’s different context of church used. It’s not just solely people.
I don’t think any religion should support any war. People were made in God’s image, we are supposed to be better than mass killing each other. Yes, I understand people are sinful but religions should not be sinful. I don’t know how people can stand themselves, we are such a disappointment.
