      Patriarch Bartholomew is a heretic and a mason. He must be deprived of the priesthood. He is a greedy American mercenary. Just like other bishops of Istanbul.

      As a British person, I can confirm that in our culture, the crossing of legs is absolutely not in anyway considered disrespectful, and reading this comment is the first time that I've ever heard of any culture regarding the crossing of one's legs as being disrespectful. Not that I'm trying to contradict you, but I would just like to point out that this audience would, like me, never regard crossing legs as being a show of disrespect, and as such no offence was meant. The Patriarch is well acquainted with the culture of the West, so I'm sure he also understood that no offence was meant by this action.

      I think his English is clear and fine. He is concerned about it, though. He speaks some 5 languages, English was the last one which he learned.
      Several of his eparchies are primarily English speaking, the Atchdioceses of America; Canada, Thyatira and Great Britain; Australia, and New Zealand. Only America substantially uses English in its Divine Services. When His All Holiness celebrates in the U.S., other than his sermons, he intones very little in English,, "Peace be with you" is typically said by him.

    I am not a fan of this patriarch but I respect him because of the apostolic succession he has I think he has done more to harm Orthodoxy then to unify it at the recent funeral of the Bulgarian Orthodox patriarch Bartholomew did the services but no other patriarch showed up because he was leading the service. But some of the other churches sent Representatives and some came uninvited. For example the Russian Orthodox Church sent one of their high-ranking Bishops although he did not serve he was giving the top place of honor. Then the head of the new Orthodox Church of Ukraine which is run by the government of Ukraine was there uninvited and put at the end of the line because the Bulgarian Orthodox church does not recognize him and all of these things came about all because of the patriarch of Constantinople sticking his nose into politics instead of keeping it in religion

    • @shannon8535
      @shannon8535 9 років тому +14

      +Nikesh Patel The reason there is a protocol here is because the Patriarch doesn't speak English as his first language therefore, if the explanation needs to be expressed in depth or with better discernment it would be discussed between the Clergy so that the explanation is expressed clearly. There is also the concern that the Patriarch would be removed from his place in Turkey, therefore, he can not speak freely about Christianity Publicly according to Muslim Law.Under the secularist Turkish Republic, churches are not allowed to own or maintain property, run independent schools or charitable institutions or even to train new clergy in seminaries. The Catholic Church has no legal status, not even as a “non-Muslim community,” because the Church was categorized as a “foreign” entity some 80 years ago.

    • @MystikosMinistries
      @MystikosMinistries Рік тому

      The Islamic-based Republic of Turkey (where the scum in Al patriarch resides), oppresses Christians greatly. English is not his all holinesses’s first language, and therefore it is very easy to accidentally say the wrong word when you mean to say something else. It is safer for him to use a translator in order to avoid miscommunication, which could easily lead to him being persecuted. After all, of over 100 patriarchs of Constantinople which existed under Turkish rule, only 21 died naturally (the rest were tortured and killed by the Muslims).
