Moscow Orthodox Patriarch criticizes Union with Rome

- His holiness, Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia Cyril I, at the Feast of Victory of Orthodoxy (20th March 2016) held a speech in which he strongly criticized union with Latins that former Orthodox Christians, now known as "Eastern Catholics" signed with Rome, during Florence Robber Synod crises in 15th century, before the fall of the great and holy city of Constantinople (1453)
One thing that has struck me about the Orthodox church - it remembers. It has a long and deep memory. Not a mere recollection of facts, but a recognition of the reality of history, and of the current situation both within and because of history. The words he spoke in the present were rooted in the past and therefore in reality, they had both geopolitical and ecclesiastical significance, and they matter.
As a Roman Catholic one thing (among many) that I can praise in the Orthodox Church and about the patriarch is he’s not afraid to talk about the differences and disagreements with the west and the Protestants. You’d never hear pope Francis talk about Filique of something like that. God bless.
In these unstable and troubling times, the Orthodox Church is growing at an amazing rate. ✔️
The Orthodox Church is the body of Christ.
This is what a Christian leader should sound like. Makes me proud to be Orthodox.
Many years to the Russian Patriarch! Lord have mercy. Thank you for sharing.
You should make the font colour something other than white, because it blends in with His Holiness's vestments.
As a student in a Catholic university in the 1960s, I took part in interfaith discussions with an Episcopal group at another school. At one meeting the Episcopal clergyman made a side comment that "The Orthodox live in a timeless world," and I laughed in recognition as a memory from grade school days abruptly surfaced. Eddie was a kid I sometimes walked to school with, and he was Russian Orthodox. He and I were casually discussing differences between his religion and my (then) Roman Catholicism, when his face darkened and he told me that the papal legates had placed the writ of excommunication "right on the holy table" in Constantinople. He was referring to the Eastern Schism, of course, between Rome and Constantinople, A.D. 1054. At the time of that conversation, this was just a few years short of 900 years earlier, but Eddie was still sore about it. Now the Patriarch also excommunicated the Pope. I don't know who did the first excommunication, and I don't know if the Patriarch was more mannerly than the Pope had been. But for me, then age 10 or 11, it was old business. Not for Eddie.
God bless Russia, I love you Russians from Greece🇷🇺❤🇬🇷
God always protect our holy Orthodox church brother's....Greetings from Orthodox Greece....
Excellent. God save the Orthodox Christians!
God save *orthodox Christians
Amen. Catholicism is corrupt
Given the condition of the many Catholic bishops and the general state of the Catholic world, I can understand why the Orthodox aren't psyched to hop back in
There is *NOTHING* more important or noble than preserving the purity of the Orthodox faith. If it is not preserved, it is no more Orthodox. This is the duty of each generation.
It is the beauty of True Living Faith and the timeless mind of Orthodoxy that has driven a Texan like me to the Church. Beautiful words from the Patriarch. May my home one day be a Bastion of the Church. Lord have mercy
love this god bless you . the lord will raise the Orthodox ones again and will make Russia his holy land if we just follow his words and commends there will be no power can break us again and pray to unite all the Christians in world . love form Australian Orthodox .
I wish to have a pope with this Kind of mentality..
Protect the church from any form of heresy
He feels personally responsible to defend and protect the orthodox faith, he is committed to its purity. I wish Pope Francis felt this way about the RCC. I think I will convert to Orthodox, I was debating joining the Orthodox before I actually joined the RCC five years ago. They do seem more in line with Jesus teaching.
You are a real orthodox, Oh Patriarch Cyril.. Blessing upon you, Father..
Moscow orthodox patriarch is truly genuine Christian leader. I admire him.
Thanks Abu Salim
Firm, wise and strong Patriarch. God bless your faith, loving reproach, truthfulness & humility.
Greeting from Australia
The orthodox patriarch speaks with the boldness needed. I am converting to your faith God bless brothers.
For me as a devout Roman Catholic, I salute to Mark of Ephesus for standing his words against the Pope that time, begining around 800 ad, the papacy and the church slowly involve in corruption for powers and glory, riding the name of religion. May one day all things be clear once more and the holy mother church will reunite once more under one head, Christ only and recapture Istanbul to be rename again as Constantinople, the second Rome and to restore Hagia Sophia once more to the cradle of Christianity hub. Gloria Patri
Through the prayers of St. Mark of Ephesus, may God grant you strength and wisdom in your blessed defense of Orthodoxy, Patriarch Kirill. We love you and thank God for giving you the courage to speak so openly about this and other matters. The world needs to hear the Truth that Orthodoxy holds. 🙏
thank God for this patriarch. he has given me much hope that orthodoxy has not in its entirety fallen to the heresy of ecumenism ,modernism and secularism like the Latin and Greek churches
orthdox alexis yeah I don't think the word "heresy" just means something you don't like. :) please use it correctly
Thank Gof
orthdox alexis how exactly has the Greek church fallen? That argument cannot possibly be made about Greek churches in Greece, one of the most traditions country, but in America there certainly is some liberalization in terms of pews and confession rules etc. although they are not good things, they are far from heresy. Ecumenism is not a Greek phenomenon, but it is something that affects Gods church as a whole and needs to be wiped off the earth until a true, proper, Orthodox Union can take place
i wish there were more of his speeches translated into english
Glory to God and the True Church of Christ! Many years to my Patriarch
Speaking as a Catholic, the more I learn about the Orthodox Church, the more respect I have for it.
God bless Russia and all Orthodox faith.
I'm a Catholic but I tell you what....we have a lot more common with the fellow Orthodox brethren here than the Protestants.
EDIT: I'm converting to Orthodoxy
God bless you brother even God will rejoice to your homecoming
protestants are dumb heretics. Either you are a catholic a coptic or an orthodox
We need powerful leaders like u HH. Greetings from Indian Orthodox Church
i am muslim from pakistan i must support you may god peace be upon you and help you
Peace..? You desecrated Hagia Sophia and turned it into a mosque.
@@adambeni6471
Unfortonaly, you're right.
jawad sundhu and likewise to you!
Remember the one true holy catholic and apostolic church before the schism in 1054! If you read about it it’ll tell you that which is the truth!

Ja is true.
We Orthodosi are the religion of God, and we have resisted 2000 years in attacks and torture.
May God bless him and all the other orthodox churches that condemed the heretical & ecumenist ideas at the synod in Crete.
May the one true Orthodox Church overcome all the obstacles in the world.
Thank God for the Russian Orthodox church.
St Mark of ephesus is a great champion who deserves nothing but admiration for what he did. And this patriarch always talks sense and I wish there were more like him.
protect the orthodox faith? I'm a Catholic and I like what I am hearing
I see a lot of Catholics supporting and respecting the Orthodox church..... but on the other hand, all i see is hatred for Catholicism from the Orthodox.... Something isn't right here..
@@jacobraji2442 i am as catholic can not and will not blame them, Roman Catholic Church have done something in the past that made Constantinople fall to Muslim. As Roman Catholic i am asking their biggest apologize for that mistake, and i pray sometimes in the future we together can make Constantinople as an Orthodox capital again. Hope God bless us all.
Jacob Raji Because Rome is the Mother of all heresies (Protestantism). Rome unashamedly presents theological and ecclesiastical innovations like papal primacy, the immaculate conception, purgatory/indulgences, the Filioque/changing of the Creed-do I need to go on?-as belonging to the same faith of the Apostles passed down from generation to generation. Rome has turned a blind eye to countless numbers of sexual scandals involving its priests which have been going on for decades. Yes, something isn’t right here: Rome left the true Faith to create its own.
We lovingly welcome Roman Catholics into the Church if they renounce Rome's errors.
Niko Bellic Rome and the West did nothing to help Constantinople stand against the Muslims. Rome offered protection to Constantinople ONLY if the Orthodox submitted to the Pope. But as the Russian patriarch explained in this video, how can there be a healthy union of Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians when it is forged under duress? St Mark of Ephesus and the faithful Orthodox laity refused union with Rome under these circumstances, which is why the West stood idle and allowed their fellow Brothers in Christ in the East to be overrun, slaughtered, conquered, and dominated for 500 years by the Turks.
I am an Orthodox Christian ☦️ and I pray so hard for the peaceful union of the Orthodox Christian world. No more fights no more conflicts and intriguing meddling. We must unite to praise and defend God’s glory. 🕯🙏🏻
Everyone signed the union - except Marko from Efes and Serbian patriarch, Nikon!
Thank you for your unwavering strength Patriarch Kyril. Our faith is strengthened by you, the Holy Russian Orthodox Church, and the Russian Orthodox Believers!
i believe that the problem nowadays is in the Protestantism not in the Catholicism...
RAMI - exactly, the protestant movement is growing, mainly off false propaganda etc. The churches need to settle thier differences quick, growing up catholic I believe rome should just return to the orthodox while keeping the independent pope just to please the western masses but only in figure, he will still have to convene with the eastern patriarchs on matters of legislative, judicial etc. I believe these protestant movements are what is killing christianity, look at how people mock your faith, and those protestants who are berserk out in the streets claiming obsurdities, not all but most, and even highly immoral and cultic protestant movements like Mormonism and west borrow churches that must be obolished, strayed from the true path, there is too much to fix, but blame only thyselves.
After RCC seperated from us , many years later another heresy came out known as protestantism , out of them came Jehovas wittnesses, Mormones etc....
Heresies kept Coming out from heresies.
You all need to Come back to the origin Church of the Mangod Jesus Christ our Messias
RAMI - No, they’re both part of the same problem. Protestantism wouldn’t have arisen if not for Rome.
I love this attitude of Patriarch! :)
Respect and blessings from USA 🇺🇸.
Come to the Orthodox Church to know more. Blessings 🙏
The music in the background, especially the chants... this is what heaven sounds like
God grant you many many many years 🙏❤️
Unfortunately there are not a lot of TRUE Greek Orthodox patriarchs there Respect to our Russian brothers.
Praying for you and all Orthodox Churches! 🙏👂
Love from Orthodox Romania.
powerful and strong.. patriarch.....
GOD bless Saint Mark of Ephesus. GOD bless the Orthodox Church 🙏🏾
Your Holiness is now our true and only shepherd.
May the Lord be with you and bless you!!!
Hard times has come for the Orthodox Church. Gospodi Pomilui
not rly. They are growing actually. They are growing while the catholic's pope is spewing arguments for sodomy, secularism and degeneracy violating his own christian values. The pope's position is illegitimate and this pope in particular is a heretic.
I Am from Oriental Orthodox .Will keep the Orthodox Faith alive.
THANKS FOR SUB TITLES PLEASE CONTINUE TO ADD THEM IF POSSIBLE, CHRISTOS ANESTI!
can anyone tell me what is the name of the chant/hymn/song is (not sure what to refer it as, my apologies)?
it is absolutely beautiful. please anyone help...
Our Saints, Patriarch Kirill, gives us another great and Amazing homily against the false and heretical church. These words explain the true love and true faith, Orthodoxy, which Russia has maintained and donated to all over the churches around the world, and the cities where the Orthodox live. Let's pray to our Orthodox church and to our Patriarch, and hope the false way will be one day defeat and the people come back to the true faith. Big hug to my brothers and sister in Russia and in all Russian Orthodox Churches, from Sardinia Russian Orthodox Church. Pray for me.
What is the music playing along this?
At this stage, we really should think about re-unite with our orthodox brothers. Look to the value of our tradition, our real moral values and mission as christians.
We from the West, we Roman Catholics admire you, and we need your help on this battle against the Devil (and it's human slaves).
Don't turn your backs to your brothers in the West, in fact, we are one in Christ, whatever keeps us separated are human errors to be fixed...
✝ ☦
God bless orthodox church! 💖💗💞😇🙏
MAY GOD ALLWAYS GIVE HIM THE POWER AND WILL TO DEFEND ORTHODOXY !!!
Proud to be an Orthodox Christian under ROCOR!
Que dios bendiga a la Iglesia Ortodoxa!
There should be more Orthodox Churches in Mexico and Latin America!!!! As well as more Spanish speaking Orthodox priest for the Latino communities here in the USA!
Where I can find the song sung by the choir in the background? Thank you, SPASIBO.
What's that chants in the backgound name?
Great video. Would you please use dark lettering for the subtitles. Thank you.
how can i find the background vocals? i have fallen in love
I pray that our churches reunite.
Might I recommend yellow subtitles next time? :P
This is one damn fine speech....
Does anybody know what church is it please?
I love listening to this man speak! He is speaking the truth
These are great words! This is why the Church must be cautious when in Ecumenical discussion. If any diologue is to change anything in Orthodoxy, I will not support it. Orthodoxy, and Orthodoxy alone is the True Christianity of the Apostles. The only good reason for diologue is that it should bring people in and not lead to others taking our people out.
+Kurt Jensen (Quartus) The holder of the Keys given by Christ to Peter and from Peter to his successors is the defender and interpreter of orthodoxy. The Orthodox Church has usurped this role in order to please long forgotten Eastern Roman Emperors. Heaven spoke when Constantinople fell to Islam and the Hagia Sophia was turned into a mosque. He that exults himself is humbled. Then the Turkish caliph went up against the Catholic King of Albania, George Skanderbeg and was routed despite overwhelming odds. Heaven has shown its hand numerous times, at Lepanto, the Battle of Vienna, Fatima, Lourdes, Guadelupe. One has to be blind not to see it.

enjoy the novos ordo, you papist.

+Godly Mathew When it is performed well I do enjoy the Novus Ordo. But I also have access to the Latin Tridentine mass. If by papist you mean one who respects the holder of the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven given by Christ to Peter and his successors as his vicar, yes I am a papist and proud of it. What did Christ say to the Apostles? He who rejects you rejects Me and the One who sent Me.
Ok let''s go on so I foresee a great future for Christianity. Bye
Desdichado
in Orthodoxy, every Bishop is equal.
No Bishop has authority over another Bishop.
papal infallibility, papal supremacy, filioque, unleavened bread, (the list goes on), are all blasphemous innovations inspired by demons.
in the first thousand years, Orthodoxy existed in both the East and the West.
at the time of the Great Schism, the West lost its orthodoxy, and became a slave to the demonic construct known thereafter as the 'papacy.
hence papism is 1000 years old.
it's progeny, protestantism, is 500 years old.
monophysitism (non-chalcedonians) is an oriental heresy from 451 AD.
Eastern Orthodoxy _alone_ is the Ancient Faith of the Apostles: unchanged, unadulterated, and unwavering from the True Worship of the Triune God.
_25But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great _*_exercise authority_*_ upon them. 26 _*_But it shall not be so among ye_*_ [the Apostles]'_ - Matthew 20
_Then _*_Peter_*_ and the other apostles answered and said, _*_We ought to obey God rather than men_*_._ - Acts 5_29

I was born in a religious Catholic family.
My father joined the Knights of Columbus ( Fraternity )
My mother is a lector. She also joined a sorority from the Church.
My sister is also a lector, and currently is the president of the "Columbian Squirets"
Now, I, I'am an altar server and I'm part of a fraternity called "Columbian Squires" (basically male versions of the Columbian
Squirets)
Me and my sister go to a Catholic school.
Over the years of reading the Bible, and assisting the priest during Mass, I realized that some things that we do is wrong. Catholic is based on the Bible and the traditions, which is now changed over time. But when I learned that Orthodox Christianity is pure, and is based on the Bible and is not making any changes due to modernization, I felt converting to Orthodox from Catholicism. Too bad, I can't, due to my age ( I'm currently 13) and, there is no Orthodoxy community here. I also fear my parents.

You are blessed with youth to study the history and theology of the Church, and when you are independent and mature, then you can easily decide.
Listening to this man, really wants me to retake Constantinople.
There is No leader, without Holy Orthodoxy ☦
We will never submit to heresy.☦️
